A few days later, a.k.a. Sunday,
we went down to the country part of Independence and saw Ms TK, and
right before we walked in there, we had no idea of what we were going to
teach her, so we decided that unless something popped up, that we would
just read the Book of Mormon and were unsure of what commitment to
leave with her. We were going discuss it more once I parked the car. But
we couldn't because Ms TK's brother was out in his yard (people here
usually live on the same property as the rest of their family and don't
go far) and he, as a Jehovah Witness had some questions for us. Now I
have run into him about half a dozen times. But this time, we were
easily able to get through without without talking about his theories.
Then we finally able to get to Ms TK's trailor and she offered us some

from following the Word of Wisdom, such as having health in our naval,
and marrow in our bones, receiving "wisdom and great treasures of
knowledge; even hidden treasures" [I think this means to getting answers
to questions that we have been having, such as things in the
scriptures, or things to do with our lives or the lives of others], and
we wont be weary, and "not be faint." I think that the most important
one is that "the destroying angel sha
Anyways,
this week has been very nice weather wise in the 60's. We haven't had
any tornado warnings in the past few days, so we can say that we're
pretty safe! I love you all!!
