Sneak peek, Case of the forgotten wallet, coherent gators?, George got Dunked!!!!!
Well this week was interesting in the fact that we had quite a bit
work out for us in terms of numbers, but over all there are only a few
super awesome things to talk about :3. So on Tuesday I went on
exchanges with Zone Lord Elder Lundberg and we had a pretty good time
up in Frankford. The Frankford apartment has two set of missionaries
in it so it's pretty fun also considering one of those elders is elder
Seeley who is a nut ball but super fun to be around and a good elder.
Anyway, the exchange was good. We did a thing called church finding
where we set up a table with stuff on it and just talked to people
walking on the street. It was kinda hard seeming how their church
building is a store front right next to the elevated subway track so
it was very noisy. I myself didn't have to much success but the others
did. What was really funny though is that we said just a few
Spanish words to a Hispanic guy who then became interested. The next
half hour was made up of broken Spanish, Google translate, and
miscommunication with the Spanish elders over the phone... :3.
We also, later that day, contacted a referral. He and his
wife were going to get divorced, but through religion they came back to
loving each other so their family didn't split and they became
stronger in their relationship together. Had practically Mormon values
too so I hope that they will become interested in the church more!
So Wednesday was pretty dang cool. We had zone conference and I got to
have my first sneak peek ever along with watching my first movie on
the mission! We got to see" Meet the Mormons", two days before release
and my goodness that was a well made film :D. I don't know if you guys
have gotten to see it yet but I'll let you know that it is extremely
good. Later this week we saw on Facebook that over all it did pretty well in
ratings too, so you'll have to let me know.
We had a lesson with a lady named Victoria, who wants to turn her life around,
the lesson was very interesting
though since she said that she only had a few minutes and then talked
to us for about forty five minutes :P. We were also unsure about how
coherent she was since just out of random she would start to fall
asleep and then make random comments about how she was worried about
the cat because it slept so much.... 0.o.
Either way we are going back next Friday. Also that night we went to
Annie's to give her a blessing since she hurt her back pretty bad. She
was doing better but we still gave her the blessing also her sister n
sisters kids were there and they said that they would all show up to
church this Sunday! The kids did but they are non members so we picked
them up as gators :3.
So I guess, last if, not least, on Wednesday I was super scared to ask
since there is a rule about how only for two weeks after leaving an
area can you go and see investigators you worked with get baptized, but
I finally bucked up and asked president to which he was totally fine
with :D. So last night we got to go and see the baptism of George
Callahan from South Philly and he wanted me to speak on baptism so I
got to do that :D!! It was awesome!! Finally all married and though
his wife is still sick she's no longer in the hospital we were able to
dunk the man :3! Got to see a lot of people from South Philly which
was cool to! Next week for P-Day we will
hopefully be going to see the Rocky Steps and such!
