The professional foresters

Trying to make each week sound different is to hard in the confines of language. This week was warm... We had a zone meeting about listening and asking inspired questions. As we have applied it we get to know people so much better and we know how to help them much more.

This Saturday we went down to the bottom of our area. We talked to a lot of Amish people in Pike and then went to Portage for the evening. We ate dinner in a park where I got to mess around on a horse spring thing and a spinning disk thing.

After dinner we were walking and we saw some guys clearing trees so we went to talk to them and so I dropped my tablet and book and started helping them. We were clearing brush and trees for about 2 hours. The mans name was Tor and he is actually from long island. He had the new Yorker accent. He almost never comes out to Portage so we just "happened" to meet him. He was an intruiging guy. He owns the inn in Portage and the house we were working on and he is a attorney and he owns a comic book shop on long island. He had never really learned about anything we talked about. He wanted to read the book of Mormon and he accepted a baptismal invite. All while swinging machetes all hauling trees in white shirts and ties.

He wanted to pay us each 100$ for the work but we told him to just feed the missionaries back on long island haha.
