3 lbs Burger from Bruce

05.30.11

Tally up another week. This week we had literally no money between the both of us, we have been waiting for some reimbursements for gas and other things and those usually take a couple of days. We were riding on E for a couple days. Everything is so expensive here because 100% of everything is imported. Pretty much the only groceries that we buy are things that are on sale for 99 cents. Then we stock up on whatever that is. This week it was Cinnamon rolls and today we went and bought about 8 minute maid juices for 99 cents. The week before we had a really good find of 99 cents for 20 pieces of Bacon, so we bought about 4 of those. We carry around a red cup with all of our change in it, we call it the travel fund. The most we bought with it was 6.80 cents we counted it out in the linve for a solid 7 minutes, all nickles and dimes. I have been trying to get into the Doctor all week but its hasn't worked out yet I finally have an appointment for Tuesday. Had a great lessons with a new family that we found while knocking doors. Her name is Tasha and she has 2 kids steven and sierra. We went teaching with some members and saw them and they came to church yesterday. Martha's baptisim was pushed back because of her work schedule. We think there may be an underlying issue tho. One of the newer people that we are teaching named Roseanne is doing responding really well and enjoys what she is learning. It was about 8:30 and we were on our way to drop a member off that came teaching with us when we got a phone call from Bruce, he said that he had a cheese burger that he wanted us to come and pick up. It was on the way so we said sure we will stop by. When we get there Bruce walks out with a 3 lbs Cheeseburger. He said its all yours. This thing was huge. It fed us for about 3 days. It worked out perfectly because we were running low on funds. Bruce is awesome he always feeds us. It as an awesome surprise. This little old Spanish lady in our branch is moving back to Peru she is very funny, doesn't speak any english so Montgomery and I always just talk gibberish in Spanish and she gets a kick out of it. She is a sweet little old lady. Saturday we had just got done with a lesson and we get a phone call from sister small. She is quite the lady, close to bed ridden because of her illness but still is a firecracker. She is from Jamaica.
