In the Rough - The Blog of Joel McDonald Jr.

Not too much to write about for the past week. We’ve had some fun tracting and talking to people. The Church came out with nifty study guide booklets that help a lot when we talk to people.

We had a baptism this past Saturday of two kids whose mom doesn’t attending Church, but decided that he children should be baptized. It was fun to teach them and prepare them for baptism, even though they later said that they were bored because they already knew everything. I wish I could send a picture but we are using the library’s computers and I’m not able to use my jump drive.

It’s beautiful out right now. At least 70, but we are expecting snow tonight. That’s Colorado for you.

The other morning I got a call verfifying the airport that I will be flying into in July. I was tempted to say Honalulu, but then I thought better and said Norfolk. It was a strange phone call. It’s bad enough that I serve right under the flight path for the Colorado Springs Airport.

We are planning a “day of faith” for this Next Saturday where the Zone Plans to tract all day. I remember doing something simular when I was a newbie. We tracted for six hours and taught no lessons. That was blackforest though. Houses here are much closer together so by sheer numbers we should have better success.

Anywho…I hope everyone is well and healthly. There are some mean bugs running around here. I’ve been lucky not to have fallen prey to them. I hope none come after you either.

Until next time…

God Bless,
