Sweet Victory!

"We had zone conference yesterday. It was a good and guess what? Sister Ferons and I won the golden hub-cap award which is a hundred extra miles. Thank goodness, we really needed it. What that means is that our car was the cleanest out of the cars present. We cleaned the car inside and out including door jams and the engine. And just to throw us over the top we made brownies and wrote a sweet little poem. It said, "Roses are red, violets are blue, oh look how at how our car looks brand new, and these brownies are for you." We laid them on the driver's seat nicely. Some of the elders were jealous that they didn't think of that. Lol! Sweet victory!
Funny story! So after we won golden hub-cap award and conference was over we wandered out to our cars. We get to ours and it is not working. I thought someone was playing a joke on us cuz there were some elders that we thought and they are jokers. Bless their hearts! Anyway. I am trying and trying to see whats wrong. I make sure the keys match up and they do. Then I open the hood, (since i know what to look for....lol! Yeah, right.) Well I have a guess but I didn't know for sure. Anyway, soon we have elders all around us and they laugh at us saying, "Didn't you just win the cleanest car and now your car isn't working? Funny!" Sadly, yes that is what happened. I didn't know who to go to but Elder Quetel walks by and I ask him if he knows anything about cars. He says he knows some but my first problem was that the car is a Ford. I said, "What?!" Fords are the best and he starts laughing. It turns out our car was dead so the elders jumped our car for us. So sweet of them!
My companion and I get along great! The work here is a little slower but we have some promising investigators. The area we serve in is huge. We border Capital Hill which is the heart of Denver. It's different but i have a feeling I'm going to love it. I do miss the country. I miss that life and all the smells that go along with it. But the change will help me grow."

Thanks everyone! Courtney's new address has been posted.
