Killer Investigators, Fender Benders, Bug Bites & Wyzdom

Hey Fam and Friends!
Sent Kizzer a a "one in a Minion" box of goodies

This week was yes.... Crazy! We have been running like weirdos getting things done and teaching lessons. We had an awesome lesson with Adam this week. We taught last week about the word of wisdom and he kind of freaked out about not drinking tea. So we told him to think and pray about it and that we would see him on Tuesday. We planned to teach him the Ten Commandments and share bout the importance of them. So we taught them and he didn't know any of them! In this case I completely understood why he didn't know them because he was raised without church in his lives and in another country but I have to wonder how much kids do really know and understand about the Ten Commandments these days? We talk to so many kids that are saying swear words and that they don't believe in God anymore. We saw a sign for another church that said "Dad’s ( for Father's Day) teach your children to worship"   It's so true. What are we teaching our children these days?!

Also, Timothy is doing awesome! He came to a mission fireside last night and loved it and also asked if he could move his baptismal date forward to July 10th instead of July 11th! Super proud of him! He and brother west will now be baptized on the same day! Whoo!


It was so weird because we got out and literally no scratches (good job Ford Fusion) and then we looked in front of us and see the damage of the other two cars. I didn't get a fine it was just a fender bender.
Anyway, Adam said that he was thinking about it and said that he would follow the word of wisdom!  We were so proud of him. He is so shy, my goodness! But then he didn't show up for church, oh well we will chastise and then inspire him to come next week.
We went to go to a teaching appointment and he didn't open the door so we started to leave when Sister Patterson says, "Hey look, it's a spider ring" I looked and realized it wasn't a spider ring, it was a black widow!! Oh my goodness she was so excited and this black mamba was huge! And Sister Patterson was so excited to see it that she whips out her iPad and starts to take pictures with it! And she got her head like five inches close to the spider and was taking selfies! I thought she was crazy, then she pushed it on the ground and squashes it! This entire time I'm freaking because, she is crazy and I have never seen a black widow before. Later on when we show the picture to the Thorn’s.  Sister Thorn says "hey that spider can kill you!" Then Sister Paterson says "oh." And I told her that was why I was freaking out so much was because it was the most poisonous spider in the world. Oh well….

The rest of the day I got bit by as many mosquitos as possible and looked like a cricket as I rubbed my legs together to itch them when we talked to people! Bugs are gross here, but not as bad as they could be!

(What could have been Big Scary News)

Something else that happened this week, we got in a car accident on Friday ha ha we are perfectly fine! :)  Needless to say I won't be driving for three months because I lost the privilege but Sister Patterson and I walked away without a scratch but the other cars are damaged. I feel so bad that it happened. A car pulled out in front of the two cars in front of us, it was completely random and made them stop. We turned and looked to watch for a split second why he would do such a dumb thing and next thing we knew the back of a man’s car hit the front of ours!





I ended up going there with Sister Bush and it is normally a car area but they bike a lot! I was stoked because I haven't biked a full day since I have been here, so that is exactly what happened. We probably biked six miles all day but it was on busy highways.... And the hills probably exceeded any that I had ever biked before.

All day people were rejecting us and our message and many didn't even give us an opportunity to say anything. So I guess you could say I was a little bitter all day. I had already taken a hard nap at dinner, and was ready to go home and was just dog tired while riding through a neighborhood when we come up to a couple that were walking their dogs.  We asked to share with them a card and an important message and they willingly listened! They said that what we shared was great to hear and accepted a Book of Mormon to take home! They promised with truth that they would read it and give us a call! I know that people had rejected Us All day but for the split opportunity that some one person was willing to listen was so heart touching! Even after the midst of a great trial, Heavenly Father rained down a blessing! So cool!
The people and cops completely understood and the situation went really well for a fender bender! The cops even said it was the most pleasant accident report they ever had to fill out and we even handed them a card and shared a message about the gospel and they were glad to hear it ha ha.... Anyway yeah that is what happened and that I am doing alright :)!

We had exchanges with our lovely sister this week in Harmony, KY.


Something that Sister Johnson taught me was how to be obedient. It was Heavenly Father’s simple reminder that I must do so much better than I have been doing! I am grateful for those simple clear impressions that Heavenly Father knows will help make us grow! It's like having a personal trainer as my constant companion, so cool!



Lastly we had a great Sunday this last week because Tracy came to church with one of her nieces and her daughter Wyzdom! They loved church and when any of the teachers asked for someone to read, she raised her and would just begin reading! She is awesome! And her niece and nephews accepted a baptismal date and we are meeting with them at the end of sis week! So cool!

This work is challenging but refining! I am grateful to be in it! I love you all and have a stupendous week!

*To the Reader:  I am lucky enough still follow Katelyn’s last companion and BFF, Sister Hannah who was transferred to Somerset, KY.  This is an excerpt from her most recent email – very cool info!

The letter with the little girl hugging the savior is something I needed so BADLY yesterday! Thank you so much mommy for everything! 

OH MY GOODNESS AND THEN THERE IS THE MOST INCREDIBLE MIRACLE IN SISTER HANNAH's LIFE.

This one goes straight back to Richmond with Sister Jones.  There was a college student named Samantha that we were trying to find.  Her address was EKU's campus address... do you know how many dorms are on EKU? A LOT. A LOT. 
So one day we were teaching a lesson (during finals week, so school gets out in a few days at this point) and saw a girl struggling with carrying a case of water.  We helped her carry it up to her dorm, introduced ourselves and she told us that her roommate was Mormon.  Turns out her roommate was SAMANTHA!! The girl we had been looking for for 3 months!!!!! YES!!
Ok, so that is miracle #1. 
THEN, school ends and everyone leaves.  Richmond is deserted.  Transfers. Sister Hannah comes to Somerset.  When I first got here, I went through all of our records and this name, Samantha, kept popping up.  I was curious if it was her and after asking around, this was the Samantha that we had records of in Richmond.  WAIT WHAT.  YEAH.  OK, so now I am DETERMINED to find this girl!!
We went on the hunt and her address on the Somerset records was wrong.. bummer.  Well, luckily for us, her grandma lives three doors down so we went over to say hi, introduce ourselves and ask her about Samantha. 
We knock on the door and you will never guess who opened the door.  SAMANTHA!!! My jaw almost hit the floor.  WE FINALLY FOUND HER!! FINALLY!! Oh my goodness. This was the greatest tender mercy for me. 
This girl is SO important to Heavenly Father and we finally found her.  We were able to set an appointment with her and came back, taught her, and committed her to read the Book of Mormon.  Seriously, if you say God isn't in the details of our lives, you are missing it! He is there, He is aware, He knows!! These are the tender mercies and miracles we live for! :) I know that God led me to Samantha, to find her and to help her regain activity!

The mission is absolutely incredible. I love every second of everyday.  Even when times get hard or tough, which they do, not going to lie, I just have to push through.  Everything is worth it when we are able to help bring souls back to Jesus Christ!!

So much love from the GKLM,
Sister Hannah

Rain dancing, Russian twins, and a Miracle!

**QUESTIONS FOR OUR KIZZER**
Grandpa wants to know how close your apartment is to the mission office?
And I want to know if you've seen fireflies? (I remember them from when I lived in Missouri as a kid.  And Sister Hannah mentioned them in her letter last week.)
                **BTW:  the package I sent went out on Friday, and should be there TODAY.
It's pretty close to the mission office and yes fire flies are so cool! These are just these little magical balls of light that show up! I love it.

I feel so grateful every day for the hard work you put into our family and into my mission! I love you so much mom. I have been just working hard and doing all that I can to improve myself day by day. We went on exchanges with Sister Bancroft. She was in my district in the MTC and I ended up getting real close to her and I haven't seen her my whole mission except for now eight months later. It's cool! We talked about everything. We talked about what has happened out on our missions so far, and while we were working her area the next day, she told me about how their area is really struggling. They haven't found many investigators and she feels like she is in a rut. I just gave her my best advice and did the best I could to be an example.

I have looked back at my mission so far and have felt so fortunate, I had an amazing trainer, Sister Hannah became my best friend in the best area in my mission, I have baptized twice and I am now an STL. What could I want more of? I had to humble myself and realize this week how truly good I have got it. Many others are having these monster of trials and I only got some here or there. I am not wishing ill will, but I have trying to understand my calling for here in Brookside.
Anyway my companion and I are good. I have been getting angry about the little things she does but then I have to turn around and remind myself that prayer is always the better turn than being upset over the little things.

Anyway I love you so much momma and I can't wait to hear what more there is ya’ll have been up to! :)

Dear Family and friends,
So this week our work paid off! We have been using our new iPads a lot more to schedule and plan out things and it really has helped us out in the work out here! Our numbers were much better than last week and we went to bed last night exhausted but satisfied!
So cool thing is we had like a weird drought the last few weeks where it has just been hot! 

So on Monday it was a huge and heavy rain story! So as we had been hot and sweaty from the day we thought we would take 10 minutes and dance in the golf ball sized rain drops storm! It was so fun! And the first time all summer I felt cold! We were literally jumping in puddles and other cars passed by and we looked silly but had a dang fun time doing it and then walked inside drenched! So fun! Never experienced that heavy of a rain storm before! Cool thing about Kentucky is it will rain and then an hour or so later it all gets soaked up within a few seconds so we hit monsoon season pretty hard! Later in the week we taught Timothy and he is on track still for baptism!


He is so great and here is the coolest story ever! So he usually gets a ride for church from a recent convert but his LDS friend invited him Saturday night to go to her ward in crest wood. Unfortunately they had called him, while he was taking the back roads on a Mo-Ped, for an hour, saying they were not going to be at church. So Timothy turns right back and speeds back to Brookside to come to our church building, he made it five minutes after eleven, right on time for sacrament!  He was telling us he didn’t want to miss a single second of church so he came back as fast as he could for church. I wanted to cry when he told us that! I know that Heavenly Father’s elect children are ready and willing to follow the commandments of God and that we as missionaries are here to help them repent and grow closer to God.  I love it!



On Friday, I went to Jeffersontown in Louisville for an exchange with the J-town bike sisters. I was with Sister Bancroft and we had a blast! We worked hard and found a man who accepted our message. We shared the restoration with him right in the middle of the rain storm and we all got drenched but he said that he really wanted to hear more. So we set a return appointment. Sister Bancroft was so excited.  We then kept walking around for about an hour. We found ourselves in a neighborhood where we started to talk to these twin brothers. They also happened to be Russian. When we started to share our message we noticed something was off. Only one of them could understand and speak English and seemed slow to understand, but hyper. They noticed my Young Woman's Medallion, so I shared about the temple and its importance. They didn't hear it. One of them pulls out his phone and shows a gaudy Russian church and says "this is my church, I love this church and it makes me happy!" And he said this in a thick slurred Russian accent and while he said it he kept moving back and forth toward us. Then the other keeps repeating my name and asking if I like tea and vodka and the other is talking to Sister Bancroft.  Confused, but after a second, I realize they were drunk and pulled Sister Bancroft away.  It took quite a while to walking away because they kept asking us to come have tea and vodka. My instincts kicked in and we walked away quickly.  We started laughing as we realized we were safe, and because it was stupid and twilight zone-like experience.
Here we were, in Kentucky, in the ghetto, talking to these Russian twins, Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dumb, who would talk to us English, and Russian to each other --it was raining ----and one of the twin’s was in a Hawaiian vacation outfit! What!?! I was confused by it all and were laughing about it the entire day.
Oh, and we also got ice cream bars from the ice cream man, highlight! 



For our miracle story of this week we went yesterday to try and contact a potential investigator that we set up a return appointment for. We got there and it was nothing new to us-he wasn't there, in fact he doesn't live there or even in the entire apartment complex!  So, when we knocked on what we thought to be his door, a woman answered. She said he didn't live there so I introduced myself and so did Sister P. And she said "won't you come in?" (Kinda weird) we walked in and she grabbed us chairs and told us about herself and we didn't say much and then she asked us who we were and what we come to share. We shared the entire restoration lessons dishes was engaged the entire time on what we had to say. It was the most amazing spirit-led lessons ever. Then I had a thought to share the 5 minute restoration video with her and she watched it and as I listened to it my heart and inside began to burn so much that tears were swelling in my eyes. I watched her facial expressions as she was so curious and then a smile appeared on her face. The video ended and I asked her what her thoughts were about the video and she bore her testimony, then I bore mine and I said that I knew that Joseph Smith was a prophet of God and she said "I know that too!" And my spirit like jumped out of my body it was so strong in there and then we committed her to a baptismal date and she said first she would have to read the Book of Mormon and pray about it and then accepted a date. She is amazing and we came out of there humbled and grateful.

I know that Heavenly Father leads us to exactly where we need to be and helps us to know why we need to be there! I love this work and know it's the truth. I love you all and have a spontaneous, grand week.

Week of Marathons and Hurdles

This last week was full of hurdles and triathlons and marathons and uh...lots of Crazy good hard work right? :)

After a prayer last week we went to see an investigator and he wasn't home and neither was our backup plan, so we were talking to people outside an apartment complex. We walked up to this high school boy and started to share about the gospel and for some awkward reason he didn't want to look us in the eye but this kid was asking so many questions and so I had the thought to share the because of him video from our iPads and while we watched him watch the video (sometimes feels kind of creepy to watch people's expression as they watch it) we were feeling the spirit so strong. Then this kid who is only 17 tells us that he was raised without any beliefs at all about Jesus Christ and only learned about God from TV shows and movies. He finally started to look us in the eyes and we shared his purpose on earth. He thought this was so interesting that we could answer all of his questions so he said he would like to meet back up soon. So we set a time to come back. This kids name is Adam by the way. :)

JUNE MLC Louisville KY Mission Home

"Today, Elders Wallace and Loveall taught us HOW to be bold when teaching the Law of Chastity.  The Assistants, Elders Seymore and Langford taught us HOW to be BOLD, but with love.  We are "IFHOM"  Inconvenient Fearless Hunters of Men.  We discussed HOW to increase our number of Baptisms by setting goals and followed up on "Using the Book of Mormon" more effectively.  It was an amazing Day with AMAZING missionaries."

Just look how happy these Missionaries are....."When we assist HIM in HIS mission of saving souls we too will be rescued in the process."

The Mission Tour with Elder Zwick and his wife has been postponed.......This meant we had to reschedule MLC. 


On Tuesday we had MLC (Missionary Leadership Counsel) and so we got to go back to the mission home and the office assistants gave a training, and we also did companionship practice with President Brough.

The companions' training that was given was on how to teach the Law of Chastity. Which for us missionaries is slightly awkward and most of us just try to avoid the obvious and point blank questions and basically invite them to live it. Well they hard core cracked down and said not to be like that anymore. They said for us to show our love and make sure that they know exactly what not to do and how to be sexually clean. It was the coolest training because by their example with this lesson we truly felt the spirit! Then the assistants gave a training on being bold and simple and direct in our contacting and teaching and it was SO COOL! I have been so confident from the trainings on my mission I think I will be coming home in about ten months as a new person! Crazy!

On Wednesday and Thursday we went on a blitz with the sisters down in Glasgow Kentucky. I went with Sister Holt and Sister Patterson went with my MTC comp, Sister Resendez! It's so weird to see my companion after the last 8 months and see how we both have changed!
It was a great experience because I really enjoyed receiving that revelation to help me become a better servant and leader in this mission. Sister Holt is one of the happiest people I know and she really inspired me to be just as loving and goal oriented as she is. We got to contact a man who has the "legacy" church video and was saying how he knows all about this church. He asked about what happens when we die. Sister Holt was so excited because the scripture verse her and I talked about that morning in our studies she had the opportunity to share with him. I was so proud of her that she remained worthy and obedient enough that God blessed with a miracle like that! So cool! We ended up getting back right on time to meet with Adam and taught him the Plan of Salvation! It went so well that he accepted a baptismal date! Woohoo!

Friday was district meeting and Thursday night our lovely zone leaders call us and ask if we would be willing to give the training on the law of chastity at zone meeting the next day... They snickered and said we would do great at it.  So we did and it was super funny because the way the training works is your ask the direct questions such as "do you watch pornography?" And other personal questions. So I ended up asking them to one of our zone leaders as the investigator and the crowd like flinched at the question! It was so funny and one elder afterwards was like "when you said that I was like wait, you can't ask that! And then I thought about it and it's supposed to be like that because God hates sexual sin and how are we supposed to help them if we are wishy washy?!" And we all laughed then made them go try it and they were so hesitant and awkward at first and then they really caught on to like teaching it! It was so awesome!
 American Gothic?
 Sister P. Got a Package!  (hint, hint.)
P-Day iPad Selfie

Okay, one more.  
*Note,  all pics were several days apart, Kizzer will look back at these and laugh
 at how she wore the same outfit on picture days.


We have been teaching Timothy and Tracy this last week and just preparing them for baptism and it has been to cool to watch them learn and grow, especially Timothy! He is taking notes everywhere he goes at church and wants to serve a mission after going to BYU! It has been amazing to see how he defends what he believes and whenever the Gospel Principles teacher asks a simple question, he knows the answer to each one and blurts it out! Sister p and I have our mouths drop to the ground every time we see him! So miraculous!

Yesterday was interesting, we got to go see Sister Hall and her kiddos! They are the coolest family ever! Plus Sister Hall is the aunt of three boys I lifeguarded with, and a girl that went with my group junior year to prom! Small world! :D
And so they fed us and we shared a great message with them! They loved it!

This last week was wonderful and I get to do it all again this week!
Anyway, I love you all and hope you are sharing your testimony with those around you!

Stay righteous! Like Nephi!

Love always,
Sister Jones!
**Questions for our Kizzer**

How are you adjusting to your new responsibilities as a STL?

But we exchanged with a companionship this last week and it happened to be with Sister Holt and Sister Resendez, Yep! my MTC comp. I wasn't with her for the exchange but I was able to hear about her from Sister P. And I have to say that I am so grateful for the refining that Heavenly Father has given me over my mission.

It means that Heavenly Father needed me to be in this position at this very moment in my mission and that he wanted me a specific way and I feel like this calling shows that I progressed a lot in a short time, more so than the people that came out with me but then again this calling tells me that I must learn from them. I have learned already so much from being with different companions and I have grown a lot! I just can't comprehend the love that Heavenly Father has for these sisters and their miraculous diligence and determination to serve God. I admire it so much!

(Referring to Grandma Pam’s upcoming surgery and some extended family concerns)

I will pray for Grandma, Emma, and Keirra. I feel bad that I can't be there to give my support but heavenly support is better than earthly right? Anyway thank you so much mom for all you have done to be an 'elect lady’ yourself'. You have made all the difference in my life and especially my mission-- I am COOKING. ;) Yep! You Heard Right.  I have been cooking meals that I have watched you cook and Sister P. loves to eat SO I have been a cooking machine and have been cooking Stroganoff and I plan to make Stir Fry and Shephard’s Pie and other wonderful things! I love you mom and will write you all a long gushy letter this week!

Workin' Hard or Hardly Workin'

Backseat driving with my specs on

Dear Family and friends,

This entire week has been crazy, AGAIN!

       We combined two maps together to equal our area and have enjoyed getting to know it and the people there. All week we have gotten over 20 referrals from headquarters, which is NOT normal. But we contacted all of them and have seen some awesome miracles and new investigators from them. One of our investigators that the sisters have been teaching for less than two months is awesome! His name is Timothy and he noticed that one of his friends at school was unbelievably happy and he asked her why and she told him about the plan of salvation a bit and he wanted to know more, so he researched the church and found where the closest building was and ordered for the missionaries to come and find him. They did and he has been going buck wild with all of his learning. And we have only taught the first four lessons and he gets baptized
July 11! Whoo-Hoo!
He is so awesome and he has this one teacher he has been super close to all throughout high school that heard he had been taking the discussions and is now getting baptized and his teacher has been intervening just like Satan. First his teacher invited him to their church, we said he could go because we knew that he wouldn't think it a very nice place to go to, and we were right! He hated it! He texted us and said that it was more like a rock concert and that it more fully confirmed his testimony of the gospel and that he really missed coming to church with us. Next his teacher gave him an NIV of the bible (which is a false version) and Timothy knows this and still his teacher had the bible engraved with his name and everything! Sister Patterson and I looked at each other and we were astonished about how much his teacher is trying to influence him.  He has stayed strong though and bears his testimony about how his teacher is crazy! And on top of all of that his teacher finds research on the bible and gave Timothy a claim that baptism is not required to enter into the kingdom of heaven and gave him over ten pages with his 'theories'. I read some of it and was able to prove every point wrong.
Timothy has stayed strong and came to church yesterday and got up and bore his testimony yesterday and stated that he was investigating and knows that it is true and that he can't wait for his baptism, I wanted to cry I was so proud of him!
Katelyn in Kentucky!
   
We are also teaching a man named Greg west who is going to be baptized on June 19 and he has been taught for a few months now and loves everything that we have taught him and wants so badly right now to be baptized! We set up the interview for him and it will be coming here shortly! 
Yesterday we were contacting some referrals right before we had to go home and we knocked on a door of a woman named Nikki and we asked if she needs a prayer and she said yes and we asked what she wants a prayer for and she said that her and her husband just got a divorce of 25 years and was having a hard time, but she said it all with a smile and sister Patterson prayed. When we looked up she was crying but still trying to hide it, she thanked us profusely and then hugged us.  We asked her what she did for a living and introduced a book of scripture.
She said that she draws and does other things for a living and I jumped at that asking what she does and she let us come in her house and not only was it decorated with cute artwork but she had her own artwork up and it was amazing! She gave me some helpful tips on how to draw certain things and then I asked her what her occupation was and she said graphic design. I flipped out and said that I had been thinking about doing that, and said she was answer to my own prayers for later in my life.
She invited us to come back and share more when we were around and it was the coolest experience because we all answered each other’s prayers! Isn't that what this life is supposed to be like? I think so. I have learned so many life lessons out here and especially how to show love for those around me, just as the Savior did. I do believe God puts us in the right places at the right time so that His work can go forth "boldly and nobly and independent" and to help show our love for God in the hearts of His children.

     One thing that I learned this week is that many people choose one verse of scripture or two to justify their wrongs as right, and they continue on in this and not worry because the verse is in the bible and that is the only one they live by. I know that one verse of scripture will not contradict another verse and be defined as the only commandment or word of God. God wants all of us to find obedience and follow it. He expects all of us to be fed by all of His word and I am grateful that I can share more of it with His children.
Exchanges with the other Sisters

      Lastly this week I did one of my first exchanges with the Shepherds Ville sisters! It was so different and in a way like being at a sleepover a little bit. I watched over the area with Sister Cox while Sister Patterson was in Shepherds Ville. It was so humbling to learn from another sister and see what I am doing wrong and change according to the direction that God is giving me. I hope and pray that God continues to allow me to change, it brings salvation closer and closer the more righteous we intend to become. I love Heavenly Father and His Son Jesus Christ. I know Jesus Christ lives and will always love us.


I love you all and pray for you every night!


Hearken to it, then do it! :)
Sister Jones
Saying to Richmond Zone


Hey, Mom I am so grateful to finally get your letter and email.
I have just felt like coming to a new area I have been pushed into
the lone and dreary world where no one knows that I am here...even some leaders and missionaries. However, my friend Hunter was kind enough to follow my emails and found out my address and sent me a letter so that was awesome!
I am doing my best and trying to work as hard as I can. Our area is massive! And we get referrals every single day and we talk to so many people and it is like a mixing pot of different cultures here. I love that verse of scripture! I think I want to take on that challenge to always “Stand ye in Holy Places” because even though I am on a mission it doesn't always mean I am trying to stand in holy places (even though I am doing my best) but I will take on that Challenge, Mom! Thank You!
Questions for Our Missionary
**WHAT DID YOU DO ON EVERYDAY OF YOUR LAST WEEK (I WANT DETAILS AS TO
WHAT YOUR WEEK WAS LIKE**
Work hard. Point blank we have been running around everywhere teaching, contacting referrals and talking to people like crazy! It has been hot and sweaty and fun :)
**DID YOU GET YOUR BIKE?**
Nope but I don't think I will be getting it at all soon, maybe sometime tomorrow at Missionary Leadership Council.  Plus, I don't think I will bike in this area, it's too big and crazy.
**HOW OFTEN DO YOU GET TO GO TO THE MISSION OFFICE, OR TALK WITH PRES
OR SISTER BROUGH?**
Not often. But we will end up talking to President Brough every so often, definitely more than we normally would as a regular missionary
**ARE YOU DRIVING AND BIKING, OR MOSTLY BIKING?**  HOW FAR ARE YOU
DRIVING EACH DAY, OR WHERE DID YOU HAVE TO DRIVE TO THIS LAST WEEK?**

Driving EVERYWHERE. We had to drive to Shepherds Ville all the time, and back!

**IS IT WARMER THAN IDAHO'S 87 DEGREES?  (HUMIDITY?)**
Yes it was 93 yesterday with some sort of humidity-- it was gross.
**DO YOU HAVE PICTURES OF YOUR APARTMENT, CAR, WARD MEMBERS, ETC?**
