Florida or Bust!

As a family, we have decided to walk the distance from Bennington to Orlando, Florida before Elder Burdick completes his mission. Together we hope to have walked 2298 miles before October 2009. And maybe be a size or two smaller!! Thank you Lara for up-dating our count down. Start Walking!!!

9/15/08 clips from Sam's email we received

Monday night, i went to the spanish get together for mi cumpleano, and my comp somehow ordered a pinata that looks like a missionary with a name tag on it, it was really fun! I took pictures to send!Real quick funny story, on one of our bike days, we had some referrals quite a ways away, so we rode the bus out to the spot with our bikes, and my comp saw a little bright green building that looked like a very authentic mexican restaraunt, and it was, VERY authentic MExican, it was about lunch time and we felt a little adventerous, so we ordered some food, (really scary looking stuff) and we were about to take our first bites, and a cockroach the size of a cell phone flew done from the ceiling and landed on elder Adams Ear, my eyes got really big and he swatted at it and it landed on his chest, and he started yelling, and almost knocked the table over as he jumped out of his chair, he knocked it off and then jumped on it with both feet, and it crunched soo loud that everyone heard it, all the migration workers stopped eating, the spanish music stopped, everything just felll completely silent, it was a pretty funny scene, my city boy comp doesnt do well with bugs, he ended up paying for everything and told the waitress to keep the change

Brother Ramer is one of the members in our ward! His whole life he has been cooking food, he is the bar bq, and everything else guy at Disneyworld, he makes up all of his own stuff! He is bald, probably about 6 foot tall, about 300 and some odd pounds, and a neck the size of a big tree trunk, anyways he is less active because the communist disney wont let him off on sundays even though he has been there for 30 years, but he loves to feed the missionaries, he feeds us once a month, and it is bigger than thanksgiving dinners everytime, he lets us choose a country or a theme everytime, and he goes all out, gets dressed up and everything. I have had island food, germany food, southern wings food, brazil food, taiwan food, and next month we are getting Italy food! He is a way cool guy!

Everything else is going really good, yesterday we had 4 of our investigators at church and two of them brought friends we are going to start teaching as well! hopefully we will set dates with them this week!
