Welcome to my horrificly boring life!
2nd Day

Well today as cool. We went out in service with local pioneers, and I worked with a sister from Brightstar. I also worked with Josette Ross, from Powder Springs, and it was really great getting to know her. She's really nice and easy going and funny, and we had a good time. I actually placed a book, although I'm not really sure if the lady was actually interested. I guess I'll find out Friday, when we do return visits.

I actually commented alot today, except for in the last half of the last unit. Brother Hendrix was conducting, and he apparently has horrible perifrial(that's so no how you spell that) vision. He never saw me. I raised my hand 10-15 times, and nothing. Steven was laughing, he said every time Brother Hendrix DID look at me it was when I didn't have my hand up, and everytime I raised my hand, he looked the other way. Finally he saw me towards the end, and he's like "oh, girl, I'm sorry. I haven't been looking at you. start making noises or something". lol. it's quite understandable that he wasn't looking over at me though, b/c i'm the only one over there!!!!! everyone else is more towards the middle. Anyways, here are today's qoutes:

"Principles search the heart" - Brother Saia

"Have you ever heard someone say a pioneer was burned out? Hogwash! Pioneers don't burn out, they coast out. And the reason is a lack of study" - Brother Hendrix

"As a pioneer, you're constantly giving. You can't just be putting out. You have to be taking in something" - Sister Bunage(a sister since the early 40's)

"One brother said he kept his Bible in the bathroom. I asked him: How long are you in the bathroom?!!" - Brother Hendrix on scheduling Bible reading

"The 8/22/84 Watchtower said that there was a study done on reviewing things you read. If, right after you study, you make a review of what you learned, one week later you will still remember 83 % of what you read. If you wait a week to review, it will drop down to 45%. And if you wait 24 days you will only remember 15%" - Brother Hendrix

"When we study we feed our minds. When we meditate, we feed our hearts" - Sister Clemmons

"Be a tweeker" - Bro. Hendrix on adapting our presentations

"Good night Charlie Brown!" - Bro. Hendrix

"Aye yi eye" - Bro Hendrix (at LEAST 5 times a part)
