My name is George Nelson! Not Baby Face!, ?!?, Sick as a Dog, Bill and Ricky
So I'm a bit scatter brained at the moment and have forgotten a bit of
what I wanted to talk with yall about but either way something or
other will be told by this brother to a dad, some sisters and a
mother.... Yup one of those days.
Anyways to move on with our week and it's delightsome details... Well
mostly everything fell through :/. So I'll mostly be cutting to the
chaste of the little things that stuck out this past week. And so we
cut to Friday while I was on exchanges with Elder Long here in my area.
So our exchange started off pretty late compared to how they usually
are. We've had a ton of rain this past week and Thursday was no
exception except for on that day it was just a lot of mist rain which
happens every so often around here. Well I had been getting pretty
sick up to this point but as we were sitting waiting for our bus to
come we or rather I had a rare and awkward exchange of words.
Within five minutes of each other I was hit on twice by two high
school girls :P. The first one started off with my eyes and I had no
idea what to do so I just changed the topic as quick as I could to
then have elder Long come in and help me but while doing so the next
girl hit on me and I just gave up by that point and gave her a he is
the gift card, haha, shoot that was weird.
My exchange went pretty well with Elder long by the fact that we had
an awesome miracle happen later that evening. We had just come from
Facebook and practicing the piano (was almost invited to play at a
Spanish wedding while there 0.o) on our way to an appointment when
some guys detained us for a bit, missed our bus and then ended up
having to walk a great distance, when a guy we had passed yelled from a
block down asking if we were Mormons?
His name is Rob and in the past he had dated a mormon who gave
him a tripod Book of Mormon and had taken him to church and
everything. This being probably five or more years ago picked that
back up just a few days before meeting us and had felt the spirit. Not
having seen missionaries in years he had to speak to us so thus we did
:D. He doesn't live in our area but we got his number and facebook so
we will hopefully be able to send him off to the other missionaries.
Oh our appointment cancelled right as we were talking with him too :P.
Saturday I was feeling better but I pretty much lost my voice entirely
as we played football in a progressively worse downpour :P. I was
bored this time around since I was sick and couldn't do much so we end
that there. We were going to do a back to back exchange but with the
little amount of time that we had that day before the ward party we
decided against it. So got cleaned up and tried to make a desert for
the party which ended up being a disaster that tasted really good but
it wasn't ready for the party so we left it at home. I call it brownie
monster and will send you the recipe later on.
The party was really fun though I'm not to sure if my companion fully
enjoyed it. Seemed like a business trip for him as he went this way
and that way with objectives I myself wasn't to sure about but oh
well. I talked with Brother Moala who used to serve in this mission
about my trainer and got some funny stories about them towel boxing
haha. Guess my trainer got knocked out pretty good.
Sunday I played the organ and this time I did really well which I was
happy about since a lot of the spanish elders were complaining that
they hadn't gotten one of the sister missionaries to play bah! I
wouldn't have it ;). After church we had to rush to a lesson in which
we had a couple coming out with us to teach which fell through., but
we revived it with another one which went really well so our time was
well spent with a lady named Daisy... Or Debbie... Not really sure
since she answers to both.
After that Litton went on another mini exchange so that he could go to
penny pack to practice for Handles Messiah which I may or may not be
included on next week we shall see since I didn't have a voice really
yesterday. I went with Elder Seeley who started his mission in this
area to Mike and Danas for dinner where he just went ham on Dana and
why she really hasn't progressed since the time he was here.
Unfortunately she dodged everything as usual but it was really cool to
watch Seeley go man mode within a lesson.
This morning we went and saw Bill and Ricky down in south Philly which
was awesome! They are doing alright but I was a bit worried before
going down since the missionary I talked to before hand in that area
said that they were struggling and not really progressing. The main
thing I could tell is that they were just taking up a lot of time by
coming by four to five times a week which I myself have never heard
of. But they are doing well. Bill quit smoking and is weaning off wih
ene ciggarettes and Ricky had her hip surgery done so she could walk
again which was awesome to see. It was really refreshing to go and see
those two.
