Last Sunday we invited the Branch President and his girl friend to dinner after church. She is an interesting person. A former prosecuting attorney with a depth and breadth of experience. She hasn't shown much interest in the church however, just interest in President Berry. We watched the movie "17 Miracles" after we ate. What a well done movie though somewhat of a tearjerker as you might guess. If you haven't seen it, we would recommend it.
We took Sister J's favorite fall treat to district meeting on Tuesday...donuts and apple cider. The missionaries loved them. We took the IM Elders with us this week again and because they moved the time up for the meeting we didn't have time for lunch so we stopped at McDonalds on our way home for McRIBs. It's a tradition, every time they have them for sale I eat some. That evening we went to the Branch were Sister J. Practiced the piano and I was able to meet with Bob Peters our investigator. He has had "pet problems" that have kept him from church.
Wednesday was our day in Crystal Falls. We picked up the DVD we had left with Janeice, she seemed glad to see us and said she is open for us to call back. We took the "Testaments" DVD to a LA member who lives in CF. We found out where more people don't live including a member who wasn't in a rest home close to the address we were given. We continued working until it was time to hurry home so we could feed the Elders. Sister J. made calzones which were deliscious. We took the opportunity for a correlation meeting and were able to help each other with some information. We planned the presentation we are preparing for our Sunday combined meeting.
On Thursday we had a great meeting with Jason, the subject this week was the H.G. and the Gift of the H.G. The more we teach and talk with people the more we are convinced of the importance of the H.G. That evening we attended the dinner for Breen Senior Center volunteers. What a wonderful group of volunteers. Now we are bound to be there for the next year so we can eat at next year's dinner.
Everywhere you go you see 50 lb. bags of food for deer. It's not that they want the deer to be fed but this food is bait. Apples, corn, beets and rutabagas is the bait of choice. Hunters will spread the bait and often wait in deer blinds for them to come into range. This is not a legal way to hunt in other states but here there are so many deer that it is sanctioned. The other thing we have noticed is that all of this hunted game is definitely used for food. We haven't been offered any yet but we think it is just a matter of time. Later that night our DLs stopped by on the their way home to Houghton with the case of B of Ms we would be using on Sunday. We invited them to stay and eat with us. That was spaghetti night and they were appreciative.
Saturday we stopped at the library to make copies for Sunday and then later went to Hermansville to see if we could locate a member that lives there. No luck...yet. I think we ate normally this day unless you count lunch at DQ.
Today, Sunday, we had a good Sacrament meeting after Sister J. realized there was nobody playing the piano and sat down and provided the music for the meeting. When SS Was about to start I was asked to teach GD as the teacher hadn't shown up. I was so glad for the I-pad. The scriptures were all linked to the lesson so that it was easier to "effectively" teach. Sister J. was teaching the youth as usual. During the third hour we gave a presentation to the combined branch teaching them an easy method to present the B of M to any friends or acquaintances they feel would be interested. It was well received. Since it was the last Sunday of the month we helped with a potluck lunch after meetings.
So, this was a week when we had PLENTY TO EAT.
Excuse me we're hungry! your well fed Senior Missionaries.
