Howdy ya’ll!
Well another week gone bye. This last week was a roller
coaster; lots of ups and downs.
Many of people who have been investigating the church have
been avoiding us or getting new jobs so we can never see them. Oh well, on the
up side of the week, we have seen a lot of less active members and we had a few
come back to church so that was pretty cool.
This week I just have been really happy, I mean just full of
joy, almost to where I want to shout Merry Christmas or something! It’s just
nice to have the Holy Ghost with you and it makes me happy even when times get
rough.
Saturday and Sunday were pretty fun. Saturday we tried a new
street contacting idea using genealogy that Elder Call and I got out of Preach My Gospel. We go around and ask people what they know about their genealogy and
ask where they came from. We were doing this on 
The courthouse reminds me a little of the courthouse in the movie Back to the
Future.
Later that day we helped the bishop move a less active member’s trailer.
That turned out to be pretty interesting. We went out into the
countryside; there are some real hillbillies out there, good backwoods folks (they even call themselves hillbillies). Well, we got the trailer all
hooked up to bishop’s huge Ford pickup named "Ed" and we were trying to get it
pulled out of a little space. After many attempts we were stuck! Suddenly a guy
walks over and says, "Hey that looks pretty tight." I said, “Yeah it
is.” and he said "Wooohoooo!!! That’s how it should be, let me giv'er a whirl!”
This guys name was Mike and he talked and acted exactly like Gomer Pyle and
Ernest T. Bass combined. He owns a garage in his barn so he knows trucks. This
guy was a true redneck (and proud of it). It was awesome!!! He pulled that trailer out of that
spot like it was nothing, laughing and whooping the whole time like Ernest T.
Bass. It was pretty amazing. I just loved every minute of it.
That’s pretty much it for this week.
Love,
Elder Gomm
PS: We now have sisters missionaries in this area with us.
One has been out for 5 weeks that is how long my trainee has been out!!!!!!! The
other a few days!!! So, the 5 week sister is training the new
missionary. I get phone calls and questions on how to do things
every once and a while because both are so new. I feel like I am in a way training 3
missionaries, but it’s FUN!
