This was a combination of a good week and a wasted week. Thursday was District Meeting and we went to Worcester (pronounced Wor-ster). A good meeting and then Sister Henry fed them slopy Joes and Potato Salad. They loved it. I think they all ate 3 Joes and some ate 4. We returned home and I kept my foot up the rest of the day except that the Elders called and asked if I could go with them to teach a young single mother. That was a very choice experience. She is very ready if she will recognize it. The thing that got her interested was a comment about eternal life with our families. We did not teach a real organized lesson but kind of hopped around. But she has admitted that she felt something as we talked she just does not know how to recognize it.

Friday morning I decided I had better go to the Dr.. She immediately said I had an infection under the skin and gave me a prescription for an antibiotic. My leg immediately began to improve. Great.

Saturday we went to Cheltenham to look at a flat to move the Elders into. It did not work out so we will have to go back and look at others. I hope it does not take long. We took the Elders out to eat before we came back. We went to a Chinese Buffet and it was quite good. However I guess Sister Henry will have to give up Chinese. She has suffered with her Colon ever since. That evening we were invited to Hope's House(the Single Mother) for dinner. Another good visit. She committed to come to church on Sunday. So we picked her and her two children up and took them to church. Then Sunday evening we had her family and another single mother from the ward come over that evening and we had a discussion about her questions and showed her the film the restoration. She did very well but was pretty overwhelmed by all that was thrown at her that day. As long as she doesn't get scared and the Elders give her some organized discussions I think she will come.

Monday we had to do 4 flat inspections. We started at 8 AM in Worcester and then 9:30 in Evesham. They are in the North part of our Zone. We then went to the Southern part to Yates at 11:30 and finished up in Cinderford (Forest of Dean) at 1 PM. Since we were that far south we decided to go on to Lydney. This was an area I worked when I was out. With no address or or anything We did not see anything I recognized. We then went on to Cardiff to Costco, picked up a few things and then ate Dinner at TGI Friday. Almost felt like we were back home. We then drove home arriving at 8:30 PM. Full day. We saw a large Castle in Coleford. We did not get close on this trip but will go there soon.

So now it is Tuesday Morning with another full day planned. Cheerio Lads and Lasses. May God Bless
