Well I'll just get into it. On Monday I got a hair cut and the TV there was playing a triathlon that was in Logan so quite a few Utah themed commercials played while I waited for 30+ minutes. I know I'm coming to the end of the line here but that's ridiculous. A few people listened to our message that evening, whether they will do anything about it we have yet to find out.
Enjoying some sprinklers.
On Tuesday we saw our friend Darlene, we read the first chapter in the Book of Mormon for her. She's looking into it just to see what we're about. I hope she starts applying what we're telling her to her life. Another notable thing was it was 7-11 day. So we could get a free small Slurpee at each store. On our way back from district meeting we hit up 4 stores that were on the way back. It was epic. Then Elder chamberlain went the extra mile/extra Slurpee, and got no. 5.
Wednesday we helped deliver some food for Meals on Wheels. I'm not sure what else we did that day because my planner indicates that everyone cancelled that day. But we did have lunch with Frank. Oh wait we tried to do missionary work in Sykesville. It didn't really work... that was a long day.
Frank is the man.
Thursday was hard for me especially. We weekly planned like all day and two lessons cancelled. I really am not enjoying my time out here when I'm not able to be doing work when I should be. I can do 'nothing' at home with my family, watching baseball. So I'm quite motivated to work hard.
Friday was a quick day. We had interviews with President and part of my job is to be there the whole time. So from 10am-7pm I was chillin in the church foyer. But I enjoyed the company of others and read like 3 chapters of Jesus the Christ, which I have a chance of finishing on my mission. lol. We saw some recent converts that night. They are from Pakistan and my blue eyes were a sight to them I guess. They kept saying pretty blue eyes to me. Words of some song over there in the that part of the world.
Enjoy some eye candy.
Saturday was good because we went hard all day. We tracted for like an hour and a half in the morning. Can't say anything particularly wonderful came out of it but I was happy to do it. Crazy how God can change you. I've always hated tracting till now. We saw Rita and Kevin, 2 African Missionaries were trying to argue with us, but whatever to them. The best part of the day was when we tried a house and a lady answered she said she was busy making dinner. I asked what she was making. Rice and Chicken was the reply then an offer to have dinner with her. So we got in and had dinner, she gave us 5 minutes to tell her something. She got super excited for the Book of Mormon. Told us she always wanted to read it. Joko is her name.
I got bit by a Asian Tiger Mosquito, if you take note of the swollen middle finger you'll take my advice and not try to smash them while they are in the car with you.
Sunday was lovely as always.
That was my week essentially, got 2 more.
