Hard Pressed, Golden Shepards, Pointed Aurguments and Name Slandering, Scar
So we had some really good things his week but for the most part we
had a pretty dang ruff time trying to accomplish all of the things
that we needed and wanted to do. Just another one of those weeks where
you have plans to conquer the world but the world just didn't feel
like it.... So mostly it all fell through.
So Monday we went through all of the drama of my companion being sick
but don't worry cause it continued from there ;). Tuesday we had zone
conference which was a blast and a half. I got to see Elder Litton an
old Comp. of mine one last time before he takes his daring flight back
into the real world so for the time being I just sat in nostalgia
since my boy Elder Crowthers was there as well.
Not only good friends and tidings but our mission was finally nailed
with the black boxes known as Tiwi.... He has a very creepy voice and
though he was worked up to being more obnoxious than he actually is I
still have to question myself how he deems our church parking lot to
be a speed limit of only 5 to 10 miles per hour and barks at me for
going a mear 15 :/.
All nostalgia aside I'll move on with the week. Wednesday due to me
having never reset the GPS "Home" Function my companion and I wandered
probably about ten miles into what is probably the New Jersey Trenton
Mission before realizing our mistake and then proceeded to drive on
some sketchy roads and go over a few hills known as Appellations....
Thursday we had our first lesson with a semi active lady named Sister
Loma. The biggest reason we were there is that one of the Bishopric
members suggested we start to work with her son and to just help
Sister Loma with spiritual things. We had a good time and met some
gorgeous looking dogs that looked like small wolves known as Golden
Shepard's. All was well until we reached a point where we realized
that Sister Loma is fully active in heart but can't always make it to
church and that we should have probably talked with her a bit more
about whether or not she wanted us to work with her son.
No offenses and no arguments I just received a look of "what are you
up to" from her when I issued a Book of Mormon challenge :/. Oh well,
she's feeding us and I think we will probably be done there haha.
Friday I dragged my companion through weekly planning as we received
rain from a distant hurricane but not much else. Saturday then picked
up with the conference grind which was awesome. I put my votes on
Eyring, Bednar, and Uchtdorf (of course!) for the whole thing. And
though cold I still fought the sweater weather as we went to see Debra.
She is my favorite and we have had so many spiritual
experiences in her house it's quite amazing. Just a simple lesson on
scripture study and prayer but good non the less. She will be
reactivated soon!
And then for our day of Sunday.... Pretty well sick of how the week
had gone and that I now have to wear a sweater though it's still in
that awkward stage of "too hot but not" (thank goodness for sweater
vests!). I made a promise that I'd work a bit extra so that we could
get a new investigator or lesson in. Well after a couple of door slams
and an Indian Lady scared half to death when I waved through the car
window at her husband we finally knocked the right door!
Her name is Melissa and she was a bit interesting but she seems pretty
Golden to me! Her father was a Mormon but died when she was little and
never learned much about it. Has been through tons of churches and
used to study with the JW's but found it all exhausting and kinda gave
up on finding the one church. Has done a lot of family history and we
asked her if she would at least give us one shot at a lesson she said
she would love it. Took a Book of Mormon and we are now going back
this Friday woot!
Well that's about it besides small arguments about picking Brian back
up while yet Brian called us and had small arguments with us I think
it was finally clear for my companion when Brian knock named him Elder
Snotler. Brian's been leaving obnoxious voicemails but what can ya do?
