Hello from Crossville!

Every thing is going great out here. We have another baptism this Wed the 25 and things are moving on and on.  We have the whole ward tuned around, they are starting to get it.  I met with Pres Mckee a little bit ago and was told that it took one person to change a whole ward and guess what?  It did...  

This past week has been a true tornado- we have so many people who want to come out with us we are way way over scheduled.  The Lord's work is fun, so enjoy it.  That's all we are working on and it's really turning things around because the true gospel is a message of happiness.

It's so humid right now, as soon as you walk out the door you sweat and its only 79 degrees out. I fried my first cat fish this Friday. It tasted like burnt oil. I guess you have to at least see someone fry something first, so tonight sister Threet might show me how.  

All my messing arouned with engines finally paid off this past week. A guy named Billy had a lawn mower that would not run so I pulled the whole thing apart, intake valve back to carb. I opened up the fuel jet, knocked out some casting and a few other things now, it is ready for the race track. It can now do almost twice factory speed:) Billy is super tickled about it. lol. 

Love, Caleb

From a previous e-mail:

So this happend a little while back.   Michael is a guy we have been teaching ever since I got here in Crossville around April.   He lives next door to Wanda, she is a member.  We were over fixing Wanda's car, the brake lights were staying on. As I started to fix the lights  Michael went to go buy some corn on the cob. He walked to Krogear about 3/4 mile away.   By the time I had it fixed Elder B was looking to see what i did.   So I was talking to Wanda  and I see Michael walking up the street.  I look at the bag and I'm thinking he got some more beer... Any way, Michael walks up to Wanda and says ''Wanda, I got you some mayonnaise.'' Wanda says  ''I don't need any maynonnaise. I already have some''.  Michael says ''I actually went to the store and got you mayonnaise.''  Wanda says ''I thought you went to the store to get corn?''    Michael says ''It's mayonnaise.''  Then Michael walks up to his porch sits down with arms folded and pouts...   meanwhile Wanda and I are rolling laughing and Elder B missed it all. lol .....
