Visiting Teaching.

So tonight, Wednesday night, Me and my VT partner, Lacey, set out to do our visits after scouts of course. Yes I know it is now OCTOBER but we try really hard to go every month...anyways...we go to the first Sisters home, she is having a YW meeting which we knew about but we thought it might be over by the time we got there...we crashed the shindig...gave a short message to the 20 people there, gave hugs, gave cookies and went on our way. Next we drive toward the next Sister's house, on the way I see a African American person on a black bike, wearing black...it is 8pm, it is dark and there are no lights in our neighborhood because "we like" the "natural lighting". I was just about to tell Lacey about this crazy kid who is wearing all black at night, when all of the sudden out of no where I see another punk on the drivers side I yell at Lacey to stop, she doesn't see him until he is right in front of the car and she slams on the brakes and he races away smiling!!!! What the heck, he did that on purpose!!??! I can't believe people!!! After our hearts start again and we pat eachother on the back saying "it's ok, we didn't hit him" we contiue our visits. We get to the second sisters house and they are having a party!!! Woohoo! So we crash that, and tell our story, give a short message, deliver cookies. Then we drive to what we think is the next sisters house (we have only been once and don't have the addy now) We notice that the front porch light is out, but there are lights on so we continue walking up the driveway. All of the sudden, I step on something squishy, hear a growl, feel/see my leg get attacked, scream bloody murder and grab Lacey. Our eyes are huge and our hearts are pounding...we start laughing...and finally knock on the door. A man answers...tells us his wife is not home...we give cookies...and go home....Is the Lord trying to tell us to get our VT done in the appropriate time? Telling us not to go at night? Wow...all of this happened in like 30 mins too...wow!


The Best Partner EVER! She even carried me in from the car, so Jason could see how hurt I was. ahahah

I love your shirt! And that picture makes it look like you definitely do not need to lose ten pounds. And Dwight looks hot in the background. AND QUIT GETTING INTO TROUBLE!

Wow, you really do live in the wilderness. That is scary, maybe he is just telling you to do your VT during daylight hours. And I must know, what attacked you?

that is hilarious. I left a comment on myfamily but then my internet went out so it never posted. I always leave comments and click on post then the internet goes out. I think it's just that site, I swear. Maybe somebody doesn't want me leaving comments just like somebody doesn't want you doing VTing?
