Please enjoy some photos and quotes from our missionary:
"On Monday, we were out with a member who is deaf in one ear. She was driving us, and when we told her to make the turn, she didn't hear and then somehow ended up on the freeway! Of course, there happened to be an accident on the freeway, and the next exit was not for 2 miles and traffic was crawling. We called our investigator that we had a lesson with, and turns out that he wasn't even there! So here we were, stuck with this wonderful member in a traffic-filled freeway, but somehow it was super funny to me how ironic it was! Finally when we got to the next exit, the member said, "We're going to Waffle House." WOOHOO"
The summer has been hot in Kentucky, so we are ALWAYS grateful for Dairy Queen.
From Hermana Wilbur..."With a new transfer
comes a new planner, and the front of my planner has a cute picture that I got
from LDS.org that says, "Scatter Sunshine." I just liked the design
of the picture, but yesterday I found out that it is a hymn too! I liked the
words to verses 1 and 3: "In a world where sorrow/Ever will be
known,/Where are found the needy/And the sad and lone,/How much joy and
comfort/You can all bestow,/If you scatter sunshine/Ev'rywhere you go,"
and "When the days are gloomy,/Sing some happy song;/Meet the world's
repining/With a courage strong./Go with faith undaunted/Thru the ills of
life;/Scatter smiles and sunshine/O'er its toil and strife." I am excited
to scatter some sunshine here in Fairdale for the next six weeks! The weather
may be getting cooler, but the work of salvation is just heating up!"

"Last Monday, we went to Churchill Downs, where they do the
Kentucky Derby! It's so awesome! We took a tour and went through the museum. I
was dying; I want to come back and actually watch a Derby! Did you know they
have been doing the Derby for 140 years straight, haven't missed a one? Around
the stadium, they have the names of all the horses that have won the races over
the years. One of the horses, Secretariat, won the Derby three times! One of
them he even won by 35 horse-lengths, which is a huge distance! Remind me when
I'm home to watch the Disney movie about him; his heart weighed 21 pounds,
while normal horse hearts weigh under 10! Wowza!!!"
