They will rob You!, Flooding, Unusual Unicorns, Turkey Bowl, Apostate...
So first off I have a confession. My Journal writing this transfer has
been awful and thus leads me to pulling blanks for this email so if
you have any ideas on how to get oneself to write in their journal
please message me, your comments will be much appreciated. Anyways I
got some funky things to write this time around so please bear with me
:3.
So just to start off our message here after our preparation hours were
over (hard to call it a day ;) ) we went and saw Nancy and Gil which
went really well for us. We watched the finding faith in Christ dvd
which I had never even seen myself prior to this point, but we had a
good spiritual experience with them, only marred by the fact that we
got out of their at 9:15 so we were in the ghetto past nine :/. Ya
nothing good ever happens after nine up there... We were walking to
the elevated subway line since our luck with buses was non existent
and then decided we would just walk the rest of the way. Well right
outside of the "ell" station this guy stops us and is like, "hey ya'll
Mormon?" And we were like, "ya we are" and he's like, "hey it's my Mormon
Brothers!!" His girlfriend was like hey Mormons! And right as we are
about to talk back he said, "what the Heck are you guys doing here!?
(Language edited). They will rob You!!"
Well, he walks us up to the the Ell and says we should never come back
cause "They will rob You!" Freaked elder Litton out for the rest of
the night but besides that we had an uneventful night... Wait a
second! No, another adventure began and that was when we came home to find
that our toilet that was just, fixed that day, flooded the entire
upstairs!! Dang we were angry about that, it leaked down into the
first floor ceiling.... >.<. Well it wasn't our plumbers fault but the
manufacture piece he replaced. Came back Friday and fixed that....
Ten minutes after he left the toilet broke again :/. Well then....
The next day we went on exchanges and I had elder Chapman with me who
is another Golden in our district and we had a really good time. The
exchange started late but we were able to talk with a seventh day
Adventist before going to the Wasco's for dinner which was good. Had
some good home made fried chicken. Now we come to the next point of
our emails title. We get onto the elevated line and as we do there is
this guy wearing a unicorn mask... :3. We get a giggle or two and are
trying to figure out what's going on. Well, he proceeds to get up as if
to leave on the next stop. But rather than doing so he turns on some
music and starts to poll dance... We bust up laughing as we get off.
Man I love serving in the city, it really is the best place.
Wednesday wasn't very eventful, since Thanksgiving was on Thursday we
had our district meeting then, that was it. We went to a members later
that night and had ribs which was really good.
Thursday morning was really awesome up hurtful. We had a turkey bowl
where our zone and another showed up and we just played football for a
couple of hours. It was a ton of fun and I had one really cool play
where elder park tipped a pass that was coming for me in hopes of an
interception but it came to me and I tipped it as well, well it was
floating in the air so I just kept going for it so it was like this
weird juggle trying to hold onto this ball on my way to the end zone
lol. If that made any sense let me know ;).
Thanksgiving was alright though it was a bit weird. We went to the
Wasco's after football which took up the rest of our day. Brother
Wasco and I had a battle of wits, which was a lot of fun, however right
at the very end he beat me out.
Friday we had dinner at the Tabers which was nice. They gave us
another thanksgiving which is always good ;).
Saturday we had football as usual and man that was a cold day. Ground
was like concrete but we had fun. Later that night all our
appointments cancelled when we received a call from the Giordano
family that they wanted us over for a late Thanksgiving dinner that
night... Goodness! :). We shared the new, share the gift video, which
they loved. Susan for the first time said that she wanted to start
coming out to church again which was awesome though unfortunately she
didn't show up this time around :(. We are going back Wednesday though
for a good lesson and to watch the snake eat a rat!
Sunday was an adventure.... We were asked to give elders quorums
lesson which was elder Robbins talk "which way do you face". When we
got that we were like oh dear... And just like last Sunday the few
members who are for lgtb gave their remarks right at the very end so
no one could do anything >.<. I'm slightly sick of how this Ward is at
times ya know?
Well the strange Sunday didn't end there. Spanish branch is having me
play their hymns for them and a man taught me how to play the "cheater
organ" haha so I was up on that bad boy. It didn't go well. Got the
hymns to practice late and had no time to practice so it was pretty
bad :/. Mind sending out a how to play the organ book, lol? Man I need
to do better this coming week for them.
Anyways that about sums up the week.
