Week 30

Holy Cow! it's been 7 months already.... In the words of Brigham Young from the movie Mountain of the Lord

"How did this happen"?!

 

Anyways,  I'll start off with a story of a witch we met last week.

 

So we were looking for formers in the city of Herrin, (which is also in our area, we have about 10 city's in our area... well, like 5 citys and like 5 or more villages...) and we find a former named Lisa and in the notes about her it mentions that she was a Wiccan... so we were like "Oh great..." Well we go there and find out the reason they stopped teaching her was cause she claims the Book of Mormon gave her nightmares, so we're thinking 'that's weird...'

well we get to talking a bit more and she tells us a story of when she casted her first spell........ What?!? and i guess it worked and she found a boyfriend from her spell. Anyhow a bit later out of the blue a Rabbit hops by my foot, now mind you that we are inside at this point... she has rabbits inside.  And i notice that the rabbit is black on the rear side of it and white on the opposite side with a black little rectangle where the chest would be... SHE TRANSFORMED A MISSIONARY INTO A RABBIT!

so we leave. 

 

Well then last p-day we are back in that city and our GPS is taking us to walmart, so we finally get to where it told us to go on the GPS, And it took us to this Lisa lady's house!!!!!!

AHHH!! She cast a summoning spell on us and tried to morph us too! but at the last minute we broke free of her spell and drove off.

It was pretty creepy though.

 

Anyway's we also went church hopping again this week but this time we went to a Apostolic church, the kind where they yell and stuff.  Well it started off great and the people were nice and Everyone there came up and welcomed us which i thought was pretty cool.  However all their people were still only like 20... so.

But then they start off with their prayer thing which is everyone talking loudly at once with their hands in the air, then we sing with really loud speakers blaring at us, then they did a testimony thing and there was this one girl who Literally every 3 or 4 seconds said Amen, it was really annoying. 

Then after a long while they actually did their preaching and the preacher was crazy, he yelled a lot but he said like the same thing over and over and over he was on like a 5 minute loop! and he would throw in a completely random Amen every now and then... like this

 

"And then Isaiah was preaching to amen the people and he preached the amen things that the Lord told him to amen preach!"  but he was yelling all of that.

 

So guess what?!  Pretty much everyone i taught in Lewisburg and Shelbyville are getting baptized now! Earl and Barbara are getting married the 16th and she and her granddaughter are getting baptized the week later, Keith Whitmore and his son are getting baptized sometime next month, Fannie is getting baptized sometime next month.

Thus putting me ahead of cameron...

 

Welp, i guess that's all for now folks!

 

Love all a ya'll!
