Week seven in Silsbee

Hot Dog!

It has been very hot. It has been like 110 or 120 degrees because even in the shade its 100 degrees yeah very hot.

In-actives

We saw a less active and he loves hunting and fishing and he showed us some pictures and told and showed us about his guns that he had. We saw Sally Golden and she is a less active she loves the sacrament but she can't come to church because of her health. so we bring her the sacrament. we read her the book of mormon to her. We saw Eva Hare a less active and she takes care of her horses, dogs, and cats. we were there forever, she just kept talking, we were listening and replying every once a while but Texans can talk easily for an a hour easily. We saw the Camerons and they are less active and they have a son who is 17 who plays football and a 16 year old daughter. they are a cool family. The dad is a flight attendant adn the mom is an artist. we saw Brother soignet who is a part member and he believes most of our beliefs but he does not believe in Joseph Smith but believes in the Book of Mormon and he doesn't really believe about the Word of Wisdom. He said how he finds things out is he uses common sense.

Food, food, and more Texan food!

we had dinner at Sis. Rogers and had gumbo and it was so good. we helped her to drain some of her pool. we ate at Sis. Rogers and we had steak and it was good. we saw the Vashaws and they just got back from the lake and the eight year old had an ear ache because he had gotten water in his ear and it was hurting him, so we gave him a blessing. we had dinner with Brother ratcliff we at a china buffet in Lumberton and it was good. we saw the Huttos they are the best, we always have peaches, watermelon, cantelope or something at there house, they are so nice. do you know what the people down here put on there watermelon? They put salt on there watermelon and know that is weird and it sounds like it doesn't taste good but I have never tried it before but they say it is good. On sunday we had Lunch with the Boddies and the son Ian Boddie and he is seventeen and he can cook. he made us Asain food. It was so good.

Investigators

the next day we saw the Easons and they are potentials and David Eason had a seizure a couple days before so he is know on seizure medication and Sany Eason had a bad headache so we just talked to them about coming to church. our goal for baptisms for our district for this transfer is four.

We went to see Bill Singley and he is not a member but he pays tithing isn't that weird. He has a smoking problem and we where trying to get him to church and commit to baptism but he said no. we said will you quit smoking in six weeks completely and he said yes. we will see how it goes. than we said when you do stop smoking will you get baptized? He said YES!!!

we did some tracting and everyone says we are to busy come back another time or were not interested. If they just see how important this is and how much it will bless there lives. we went to go see an investigator and we knocked on the door a couple of times and no one was answering so we thought she was taking a nap or something. we were going back to the car and Brother Ard who was driving us and he accidently pushed his car alarm, oops. she came to the door all tired like she just got out of bed and we said is this a bad time and she said just a little. we said we will come back another time. It was four PM when we went there.

We also went to see Michael Stanley and he drinks a lot and he wants to stop so we suggested the program that the church offers so he can stop and he wants to do it. he is a handyman and he is really cool. we went to see the willis's and we where standing out in the hot sun for an hour because Ian Boddie who was going out with us and Brother Willis were talking forever.
