'Twas a interesting week. The beginning was marked by an interesting journey of getting my hair cut. In the end, I sat in a chair outside the sisters apt, while sister Jarvis essentially shaved my head. So that was fun, I'm now part of the #shavecrew. Later in the week Elder Davis and I convinced Elder Gull to shave his head too. He actually did it which is amazing because we weren't even there to pressure him in person. But alas the man who loves his hair killed it too.
As for the work, we had two lessons this week. Which is doing a whole lot better than the first week so I won't complain. While talking to cats at PSU I gave away one BOM this week. He was a solid guy, it's strange the people, who end up being so open to our message, just kinda stop and stare at me when they walk up to me. Like on the inside their spirit is telling them to be there or something. Elder Curtis and I also did some fat bussing, I met a guy who had been to temple square and has a BOM. He said he'd read it. I also talked to a guy who has two friends on missions! Pretty crazy how it worked out in the end. We did service at the kitchen like we do, and some people from a local magazine were there taking some pictures of everyone. Hopefully they'll remember to send me the pics after the issue comes out!
The weekend hit and it's what is called "State Pattys day". It all starts on Thursday with Fraternity Socials, which are closed parties just to the frat members who dress all nice. They all dress in a button up shirt, tan pants generally, and their stupid brown boots. Anyways, I'm sure they all had a classy night. Friday and Saturday was just pretend to be Irish weekend and get slammed allll day, and also wear green. Elder Calaway and I were on exchanges and we mainly tracted all day, which was a beautiful thing, I enjoyed it immensely. Near the end we were walking and there was a group of college kids headed our way to pass us. I knew that I shouldn't stop and let them talk to us because they'd probably do something stupid. So when the time came I whipped out my gloved hand and waved to them and said hi. One girl, who was holding a cup, stumbled at us and said "Can you believe that this dog can pee?" It was very slurred so I had no idea what she said. Then she turned more to me and said, loudly. "why are you wearing oven mitts!??" I didn't understand what she said but after Elder Calaway relayed to me what she said and I laughed so hard. I put myself in her shoes, being drunk off her rocker, and seeing someone with fat mittens. The obvious question would be,why are you wearing oven mitts. Good times.
The week ended off so lovely. Sunday was so nice. In sacrament meeting a little boy handed Elder Curtis and I cards they said "I love you"-Will. So heart. So I made him a card that was a missionary tag that said Elder Will. It made his day from what I hear. Also Ronda and Roger got married this week! We're going to go over there on Thursday, have dinner, then a couple they know will come for Ronda's lesson. So we have an investigator, who's been to church twice already, has a lot of friends too! So by the end of the week a miracle came. And I'm super happy about it
See ya
