Pouring Rain and Les Paul Guitar

On Wednesday we drove down to a lake about 20 minutes South of where we live for a lesson.  We showed up about a half hour early to go knock some doors and the first door we knocked on we talked to a lady for about 10 minutes.  It started to sprinkle a little bit and at our second door it started raining buckets.  I haven't seen that much rain in my life we ended up just waiting it out in the car because none of us brought any rain gear.  When we got to the address of our lesson the lady ended up not being there which was frustrating.  But keep in mind it's still raining buckets and being the Junior companion who doesn't have any driving privileges yet I had to back my companion up in the pouring rain.  He had fun with it.  He started driving slowly down road with me pounding on the window.  He thought he was funny and I thought it was funny too once I was in the car and warmed up

We taught a really cool guy this week.  We met him out doing service.  His name is Chris.  I think I've mentioned him before but we had a killer lesson with him on the Restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  He also had a ton of questions for us which is always really nice he had a really cool cabin.  He was completely off the grid and got his water from an artesian well and had a generator for electricity,  massive propane tank out back, and a wood fireplace for heat.  I also noticed he had a massive Marshall guitar amp in the corner and I started to ask him a little bit about it and he pulled out his Les Paul Gibson which was beautiful.  Then we finally talked him into playing for us and man between the Marshall amp,  his Les Paul, and an amazing musician he was ripping of Van Halen, AC/DC, Led Zeppelin just from memory and it sounded amazing.  He later showed us his music room where he and his buddies get together and jam.  He had a 3000-watt P.A. system.  I think he has a tone of potential

On Friday night we were walking up and down main street looking for people to talk to and we ran into this couple.  Usually, we’re the weird ones who start the conversation but all of a sudden they said hi and said thank you so much for what you do here in West Branch and asked if he could buy us a pizza and then he handed us his card.  Come to find out he was the mayor in West Branch.  Anyway, it was really cool.
