So begins the Brooksville journey. I've got so many pictures that I'm going to break it up into sections. This way I can try to get one post done per day. So, this will be part one of Brooksville with Sister Beck.
Brooksville was my most rural area. I served there for two months with Sister Beck as she completed her mission. Then I received two new companions -- Sister Shorthill and Sister Vega -- for just one month, I think. But that will be in an upcoming post. Stay tuned :-)
while out tracking one day, we came across this family, along the side of the road. I think they were trying to kill ants by burning them up with a magnifying glass. :-(
Sister Beck, me, and the little boy from the family in the previous picture. This little boy really took a liking to me for some reason. who can blame him? :-) This was only a few minutes after meeting them. Children seemed to gravitate towards me -- I guess they are good judges of character :-)
I think Sister Beck was looking for ants. We really didn't lollygag as much as it appears. :-)
Sister Beck wanted her picture by this statue. Just some random house we tracted into.
this house stood out like a sore thumb. So, of course, I had to get my picture by it.

I think some of the photos I put on the Zephyrhills blog post are actually Brooksville. This is the same day as the one where I'm looking out for alligators. :-)
apparently lollygagging again, while tracting in Brooksville. Apparently the sun was really bright that day :-)
we spent a lot of time walking down dirt roads. And apparently taking pictures of it :-)
this is inside our Brooksville apartment. it appears that I'm writing letters on P-day.
saying hello to a horse, as we prepare to start tracting.
this is a part member family that fed us quite often. The dog's name was spuds -- named after the dog in the beer commercial. You have to be pretty old to remember that one :-)
Helena, the mother, wanted to be baptized, and already had the discussions but had to wait until she and Mack, the member, were married. The two girls are hers from a previous relationship. I believe they had just recently been baptized before we got there. I'm happy to report that after I left the area . Mack and Helena were married and she was baptized!

this family had probably a dozen pit bulls. They were all chained up in the backyard, except for Spuds.

I believe this was a train that was stopped on the tracks and we thought it would be funny to take a picture as if the train was going to hit us. Yeah, kind of lame.
this is a billboard that Sister Beck, and I made for the Brooksville church building. why I am in a dress and Sister Beck is in P-day clothes, I don't know
this was in Zephyrhills. We obviously got a page and had to stop by the nearest pay phone to call.

okay, this will be the end of part one. Stay tuned for part two, next!
