Well hello.
Tuesday at forums I talked to my friend Brad. Who has "endowed" himself with anti, if you catch my drift. But my highlight on Tuesday was after forums, on the bus headed back to the car. I turned to the guy behind me and we had a quality conversation on the chew he was currently spitting. It did eventually turn to me being a missionary, and I handed him a card as he swore and ran to the door to get off.
As he ran his can of used chew spills all over the floor and his hands. Notably when he was waiting at the door his cheeks got puffed up real big, like he was practicing for his audition in the school play, "The Prodigal Fish". With his part, Prince Huff - the royal pufferfish - who has daddy problems and, after swimming off with his inheritance, gets into drugs, and dates the skanky, six sided starfish named Celeste.
Not to be outdone, the facially bloated student immediately blew chunks into the trash can, that was miraculously right outside the bus.
At least he didn't puke on the card right?
Wednesday was a memorable one too. We had a district meeting, in which we role played. We always role play. It's not my thing but I'm sure it helps people when they have investigators. Sometimes I'd rather ride a seatless unicycle naked than role play.
We did go to Primanti Brothers which was amazing. I got to watch the Tigers, Astros game. I'm guessing baseball will be very similar to the marriage process. I feel like both have stats, franchising, and trading players around.
Anyways something miraculous happened. We got a text out of the blue from a girl we talked to at Penn State. We're going to meet with her next week, it's going to be lit! We also had BOM class with Ronda and Bro Hileman in attendance! We read Jacob 5, all 77 thousand verses of it. And somehow we were all able to explain it to all who attended.
Thursday was St. Patrick's day so naturally we went to iHop. Nick was giving us the dodge, he hadn't texted us, but eventually we talked to him at the register. He said he'd text us that night. He didn't. Idk what his problem is, but we can still be friends at least-jeez. For service we cooked Corn Beef and Cabbage, and yes it was magically delicious. I enjoyed my time there because I was given the responsibility to watch over some of the food in the oven and tell when it done being cooked. I tried to tell them I'm only good at knowing when bacon and pop tarts are done cooking, but it didn't matter. Ps the food was fine. We saw some St. Patty's day ruckus let me tell you.
Friday was another fine day of OYMing at PSU in which I gave one copy of the BOM to a Asian girl. And the other three hours was me leaning against a pole saying hi and complimenting people.
Saturday we drove to Altoona and visited the baseball stadium for the Altoona curve! It's pretty big and super nice and for some reason has a roller coaster behind the outfield.
Also we went to a priesthood meeting for two hours. In which I kept myself sane by typing on my iPad case, like it was a keyboard, whatever the current speaker was telling us about chastity. Went back to State College and attended Ray's baptism! It was awesome, got to love those things. Right after the ordinance was performed everyone filed into the chapel again. I stayed in the foyer for a minute and looking through the door down the hall I saw the rest of my days happiness go get a part time job cutting grass with fingernail clippers. The trio of sisters walk in all excited, and asked if it had happened already. It was a great pleasure to inform them that when you're a half hour late to a baptism you're most likely going to miss them being baptized.
On the sabbath we went driving over 200 hundred miles to two firesides. Also didn't get to go to our wards sacrament. One fireside in Sunbury-also Sunbury is in the middle of no where-and one in Williamsport. About 3 hours of driving total. The two firesides in general were fantastic but I swear some missionaries cannot sing, it's like they swallow a half quart of broken glass before they start. Other highlights included free food, getting a potential investigator for someone, and getting stuck in the bathroom getting talked at a old guy for 5 minutes.
But the Coup de grace was the driving, with the sisters. For hours. There was some fireworks near the end when they took 15 minutes to get out of the church. We got home about 10:30. Honestly I would have rather gotten curb stomped by a train then do those hours of ridiculousness again. Ok it wasn't that bad but it was a long day. Oh but the saving grace of that ride was calling Kevin and talking with him. #pittisbest #s/otoseagullandcrew
