QotD: "Hi, is Sulley there?" --Elder McDonough, one of the referrals Elder McLaws gave the Newton elders (District Leader) lives in Sulley, Iowa but he thought it was the name of the girl that works at A&W.

I am so TIRED!

We used all modes of Transportation today. We even helped Jorge and Bethany move from their dump of a rental home to their nice house on Boone St. I was able to play a real guitar missing a high E-string. (I've been able to play a smaller guitar at the Villalobo's house, but I need to tune the strings lower so it isn't as high)

We brought the large print textbook size Triple Combination and Holy Bible to PATRICK HOLMES today and talked with him. Just found out that he is gay today. Interesting. He is from Cedar Rapids and his house was totaled and at that point or before it he was talking with missionaries. During the agony of losing everything, he was helped out a lot by the Church. He is a good man and he has felt the power of God in his life. He needs to quit smoking and drinking but he is trying to one step at a time to get rid of this addiction.

There are always interesting people we meet each day. I could not write down everything that happened today without it being on 3 or 4 more payes. But I never have time and/or, I am tired.
