Week 35

Hey howdy hey family!

 

This last week has been pretty good! 

 

We stayed the night at some other elder's appartment (in Eldorado, but because people are stupid over here they call it "El-der-A-do" instead of the correct "El-do-rah-do") because we had interviews the next morning and a member from their ward was going to take us.  Anyhow, i had the worst sleep of my mission there...  it's rough sleeping on the ground with no pillow or blanket as a missionary.

 

So then we had interviews which was great as usual, but Sister McKee came to it!  It was the first thing she's really been able to come to besides the elder Oaks thing last month, so that was really cool.

 

Then we had exchanges with the ZL's and i stayed in marion with Elder Rothlisberger,  He's actually really cool and i enjoyed our time together.   We met alot of stupid people tracting, we even met an ex-RLDS person which was pretty neat, and some really cool people that might get baptized in the near future and we also saw 28 cats in one day.

 

On saturday we went to Juile's and her boyfriend was there (he just got out of prison the other day(maybe for murder... who knows))(nah, he's actually pretty cool.) But he's pretty crazy and he's a straight up black gangsta!  it was actually pretty sweet.  OH! I bet Stephanie would like him! Black, Gangsta, been in prison!  All things she looks for in a guy!   Anyways, at the end he said something pretty cool, he said "If you boys ever need a place to stay, you could always come here" or something like that, but also in a much more ghetto kind of talk.

 

And Then as we were leaving we met the craziest lady!  She was i guess a street minister for her own church with a total membership of 1.  For a while when we were talking to her i thought that she might've been like a 3 nephite in disguise testing us or something, but then i realized she's just crazy.  She hates organized religion, she hates males, and she hate hate Hated the fact that we drove a car.... Too worldly i guess.

 

Easter Sunday was Really great, PERFECT weather, and a really good day besides.  the primary did a few musical number's and 2 little girls had solo's, it was pretty darn cute.

 

Oh and before i forget, here's some bad news i learned from someone who is leaving the army next month.  He said the reason why he's leaving is because they ( the military and government) are doing this thing where they test all the soldiers to see if they'll shoot civilians and if they don't they're kicked out...  That's pretty awful. 

 

So yeah, the 7th seal is among us, Beware!!!!  :)

 

Love ya'll
