21 January 2019

So transfers is next Tuesday, and so this might be my last week in Wallace. We'll find out on Saturday/Sunday as is the norm. Anyways, ....
This wasn't an incredibly eventful week. However, there is some good news. As of Saturday, Aaron (Diane's husband) was still holding on. We visited them and prayed with them. They had a few people over and she was still understandably distraught, so we didn't stay too long. We're hoping to be able to visit again tomorrow and see how they're doing. 
Speaking of Tuesdays, we got up with Tom again (it's been about a month) and he said that he wanted to be baptized. He still won't set a date, and we're still really confused about him. He pays tithing, but is still iffy about doing anything else. It's odd. We're also going to go by him tomorrow to read in the Book of Mormon with him and introduce him to Come, Follow Me. 
We've not been able to meet with Ozzie again lately, and he couldn't come to church because his car got totaled. Hopefully we can get a member to give him a ride again, but the member that he's friends with has to work every other Sunday. 
And in more fun news, we had a really nice lunch with a family yesterday. I mentioned that transfers were next week, and Matt (19, and we're good friends) went to the backyard as we were leaving. Then, we heard a huge bang, and Matt comes running around to give me a 30-06 casing from the bullet he had just fired as a way to remember him. That was pretty funny, and it scared his dog to death. As he did this, his mom apologized and said that it was his redneck coming out. Speaking of which, I think Wallace is the most Southern feeling place I've served. Raleigh just doesn't have that Southern feel, but it's very strong out here. I think it gets more and more the more rural of an area you're in. 

That's about it for the week, adios!
 
 Oh, the things you see driving around Wallace. Yes, that's a little girl riding on a giant tortoise. Don't ask me why.

 I believe we found the world's biggest Steeler's fan. The car is impressive, but the suit he wears is a sight to behold. I didn't take a picture of him, I thought it'd be weird.

 And finally, some awesome member decided to grace us with pizza, and pasta, and cinnamon twists, and soda. That was a good dinner. (And then lunch.)
