So, we raked leaves in the rain on Tuesday night with the Elders from Wabash. The next day, I woke up with the flu! Ew.
But don't worry, I'm much better now. :-)
Yesterday Sister Crosby spoke in church (she gave a fantastic talk). Well, we took advantage of that fact and invited all the investigators and less-active members we could. Brother Dwight brought his dog Dippy to church. (I'll try and attach the picture). Dippy waited in the truck while Brother Dwight went to Sacrament meeting and Sunday School. Raphael came as well (oh, he let me know I'd been spelling his name wrong the whole time). Brother Stuber came as well. And Brother Hamblin came too. Sister Crosby has quite the following... ;-)
After church we had dinner with the Yards. It's a riot--Sister Yard pitches the biscuts, Brother Yard catches them and slathers them with peanut butter. :)
Because I was sick earlier in the week we had to make up for what we missed... we hadn't found any new investigators all week, and we'd made a goal to find 3, so we set out with faith. Heavenly Father pulled through again. We were walking around a neighborhood talking anyone we saw outside. We "flapped jaws" (Hoosier language for 'chatted') with a couple of men in a garage. They were happy to talk about anything but religion (he said he never discusses religion or politics with anyone). We parted and started down the street again when a man on a bike passed us. We said hello and he rode on. Well, he looped around the block and met us further down the street. When we saw him again we said something about "getting your exercise for the day?" ...an hour later we had an appointment set up to meet with him onTuesday. Apparently his dad was a Mormon, but he doesn't really know much about the religion. Brother Briscoe seems down to earth and we're very excited to teach him again.
Fun fact: I love hearing the Hoosiers speak. If you can't imagine it, picture me "settin'" on the porch and "flappin' jaws" with these folks while they pick their "tomatahs." :) Indiana's trying to steal my heart.
I love y'all!

The Elders made birthday cupcakes for Sarah and Sister Crosby. The candles were trick candles (the kind that don't go out)
