Happy Halloween, Zone Conference last Thursday, playing with cats, a ridiculously long train, and someone backed into our car. Does it sound like a crazy week? It sure was.

Tuesday was perhaps not the best day for us. We had several appointments cancel and it was the only day that we had a lesson with a non-member for the entire week. On the plus side of Tuesday; we met with a returning less active named A___, he is awesome and lots of fun to be around. He has a strong interest with Family History work and so we have been sharing with each other success stories that we have had in finding people and adding memories to the family tree. A___  has a medical chair to help support him that was broken. His back was aching so we took a look at the chair and decided how we were going to fix it on Wednesday because we didn't have the right tools on hand.

Wednesday was the day of no proselyting. I promise that I'm not a lazy, disobedient Elder. We drove 30 minutes in the morning to contact 4 referrals at a mobile home park. We searched far and wide and never found the park. This is also when we got stuck waiting for a very long train that stopped, then backed up, then inched forward. We lost 30 minutes waiting for this train all the way out in the boonies of Oshkosh. When we got home we changed and went over to the Humane Society. The cats were a lot of fun. Since it was our first time we didn't have much of an idea of what to do in the very beginning but we started improvising and we figured out a basic idea. One thing that we learned in the third cat room is to not beat-box with the cats. Its gets them all riled up and then they start to fight with each other. It’s not entirely my fault; Elder Stevenson was doing it to. After the cats we fixed A___’s chair and now it works like a charm. For dinner we went to Domino's and this is where the car got hit. The guy backed up his car and says he never saw our car and so now we have a nice dent on the left side of our rear bumper. We exchanged info, called the police because the church says to do so and guess what we learned... The man has a suspended license. Cool, that took up two hours and it only left us with one more thing to do in our day that wasn't proselyting; basketball with the Young Men. 

Umm. I'm playing with a cat.  Really I am.



He climbed up on my lap.  Now what do I do?

We had zone conference in Appleton on Thursday. That was a great training meeting and I love President and Sister Cutler. After the meeting we had to spend two hours filling out our accident report so that made up our entire Thursday. Not much happened on Halloween too. Because of church policy we can't proselyte after 5pm so we spent much of our time with a member family, an older couple and of course, tracting.

Fender Bender #2. Do you see my name on the car? Twice.

 That really sums it all up for the week. The weeks go by fast and they get colder too. Mid 50’s is now considered very warm. Let’s all pray for a warm winter.

Scripture for the week: Alma 13:15

 15 And it was this same Melchizedek to whom Abraham paid tithes; yea, even our father Abraham paid tithes of one-tenth part of all he possessed.

Thank you, love,

Elder Luymes
