Spontaneously attacked by a swarm of Lady bugs

The District

I bet you never heard a more strange title for an email.
It's no competition, but I'm just saying, it's a strange one for sure.
Well here is the story. 


A foggy and rainy day.


We offered service to a family that needed their flowers dug up. They plan to put in something the deer won't eat like bleeding hearts or something. My companion was a landscaper before his mission. He knew how to make the job quick and easy for us.  It would have been the perfect service if it hadn't been for those ladybugs. We dig up the roots of these flowers and in big clumps falling from the roots and dirt there were thousands of ladybugs.
It wouldn't have been a problem.... If they would just sit still. After a few minutes we had swarms of ladybugs just flying aimlessly all throughout the area, getting in our hair, calling up your pants legs and just being plain annoying. I never though I would see so many in my lifetime! 


A nice day for church. 


Next we tried to visit some members, but they told us they weren't interested. As we drove away we found two old guys trying to lift a heavy wood stove into a truck bed. My companion asked if they needed help and they didn't hesitate to yell, "Yes!"



Local burger joint. Only fast food in the town.


After helping them out one of them took off to deliver it while the other stayed behind, because it was his house.

We got to know a little more about him, he was a pretty interesting fellow. 

Flower Service


He had traveled the world helping various militaries in other countries. He trained combat medics and was able to make a great living for himself. He was Jewish, but he said he wasn't, but he was. 
He talked about going to the synagogue, or that he would only read the book of Moses and he believed that Jesus Christ was only a prophet - lots of stuff like that. Maybe he has an identity crisis or something. Because he wasn't really open to hearing our message out, but still said we could come over and visit.


The Lady Bugs

Those are the highlights for this week. 
I'm sure the pictures will tell you a little more. II will talk to ya all next week. 

See ya!
For a youth activity - 
Don't worry, I took no part in it
