Chess Mess, Operation Layton/Brown Drop, Horn Dogs and Rare Finds
It is a most wonderful thing when one of the members of your district
has a key board for the ipad and for whatever reason doesn't feel like
using it so it then proceeds to fall in to your lap. Hopefully that
means that I will be able to accomplish more today without any thumb
problems :3.
Anyways I will get into our week before I bore you with nonsense. So
we were able to see Brianna on Monday for the first time in about two
weeks. She loved the temple and we had a very good discussion on the
plan of salvation where I drew out the entire plan on paper which I
would love to share a picture of with you... However I'm afraid that
it is now lost in their house :/.
So continuing on to Tuesday we had a pretty good day of finding within
the hot air (humidity is awful). We found a lady in our area book by
the name of Destiny D.. She new members about a year ago and then the
missionaries dropped by once and from then on for a whole year no one
has contacted her! What the heck! Oh well she is ours now and she is
pretty dang solid! I look forward to seeing her again. Just a little
bit before that we were doing stop by's when we came across a bunch of
guys smoking weed and playing chess. I had the feeling to do
some beat to teach but we continued onward. However I couldn't ignore
it so we went back.
Well long story short everyone had lost to this one main guy and
wanted me to play but the main winner wouldn't allow for it. So I gave
em' our card and told them that when he wanted to play me to give me a
call (wish I had said when he wanted to lose ;3). Later on in the week
I actually found another group but I lost pretty bad since it was
speed chess and I had never done that before :/.
There aren't to many other new things from the normal this past week.
I've just about had it with the one family though. I've
almost had them reactivated twice in my time here but for the past
couple of months they have done less and less to the point of nothing.
So we will be having a possible drop lesson the next time that we come
by. Oh well thats how it goes I guess.
On Thursday I went on exchanges with Elder Philogene (the Hatian
Missionary) in his area. I wanted to see how he was doing since he is
still a Golden and their area is struggling pretty badly.
Well the first appointment we showed up for we were a little bit late
do to bus times and when we got there he answered the door and yelled
at us for not being able to tell time and went back in. Let me make a
side not real quick here. Elder Philogene is learning English on the
fly as we go about our here in the mission. So at the moment he has
memorized phrases so that he can do missionary work. Well lets just
say that he has a tendency to continue down his phrases no matter what
happens... Which is what happened at this door. Still finished strong
though ;).
We then had a guy call us over to his porch to tell Elder
Philogene that according to the book of mormon he couldn't go to
heaven. Well there it went again but this time we had a good
discussion however is buddy was the largest stereotypical man I
had ever met in my life. As you see in the title of this email it
comes to being the only description of this man. I literally watched
him yell at a passing woman and then proceed to chase her down the
block. Lucky for her he is fat and out of shape so all is well.
Well I'm sorry if this email is a little bit of a bore. We were pretty
busy this past week but not to much new to report on. The Humidity
has really picked up out here and it is nasty yuck! Well I love you
and wish you the best!
