Syreen and Her Children

This week was good we are working closely with Syreen and her children. They are on date for the 30th but the mother is still having problems with the word of wisdom so hopefully she will continue to push forward! We have been doing the 12 step program with her because she is not able to go to group meetings and it really is an inspired program! Many of the things that I have read have really helped me! We also have been working with Michel Jordan. She is so sweet and she really has a desire to learn and to gain a testimony! Her husband is a less active member so we are hoping that by her taking the steps towards baptism that he will see how much happiness  it is bringing her and he will remember the joy that the church has brought him! We also went to see Richard and Ann last night! They are so funny they always want to cook for us so last night we had shrimp scampi and steak and green beans! I'm sure when dad reads shrimp he's going to have a heart attack that I would even pick it up! But that's not all this week! The Peerces a family in the ward took us out to a place called Rays Mill Pond! It's out in the middle of no where and it's only open on the weekends and every one goes to it! So its on like a swamp and its just like this old house that got converted into a restaurant but any ways its real cute! But we ate so much food! sweet pickles, slaw, and then wait for it dad... hush puppies fries... fried catfish and fried gator tail! The catfish was nasty I felt like I just was eating right out of the lake but the gator tail was really good!  It was like fried pork chops! Any ways thats my fun adventure for the week! We also helped a lady move from this geto hotel to her new apartment and she is adorable she is like 60 and she is a radio announcer so we helped her and she is going to take the lessons now! Also some of the young women broke into our apartment and messed it all up!  They are crazy! It has been hard to love Valdosta coming from Pine Mountain but it is growing on me, there are amazing people here! I'm excited to see the growth in this area and hope that it will continue!
Love, Sister Randall
