4/9/2018 Week 23: It's Been A Minute...

So I had a pretty good week I can say. It started of with finishing my email last week and as soon as I got back I got a bunch of packages.  I enjoyed it since the mail man came to the door with his bag filled with 2 giant eggs. He looked so annoyed by how they completely filled the bag. I got some cards as well. Thanks to everyone who sent letters. It was a pretty interesting week I admit. The weather has been super crazy but not as crazy as one person I met on Tuesday. This guy just from looking at him you know he has been punched in the face one too many times. He motioned us to come over to him and we had no choice because he was in our way. He started to talk to us and you knew instantly that he had some issues. He started telling us the the catholic preacher of a church said that he wasn't allowed to go to Heaven unless he gets baptized catholic and the "Mother Mary" wouldn't let him in because he was Baptist. He was just freaking out and when we tried to leave he started to follow us and say that he was the Grim, the arch angel, the dark night himself and was telling us that he would cast us to hell if we didn't and I quote, "I will drag you to hell if you don't go home and love your wife". Wise words from a strange man. It was weird. Then on Wednesday we went on exchanges with the assistants to the president (AP's) so I went to their area and became an assistant for the day. I had a blast but I kind feel bad for them because they basically have only had 6 hours of proselyting in the last six weeks. But it kinda got washed away when I got to ride in their new 2018 truck😂. It was interesting though to see how everything worked on the office side of the mission. I definitely learned a lot. Then Thursday was my birthday and we had a Church tour with our most progressing investigator and it turned out that he has been to the church building twice before. It was great, you could really feel the spirit and he when to his normal joking self to a more serious mood. You could see it all make sense to him. Also I got a call from President and Sister Welch and they sang happy birthday. I wish I recorded it. Then Friday we went and did service at the place we usually go and ever since we started they have needed less things done for them so we end up just organizing the pantry for easier access and convenience. Then Saturday I got a little sick and had a stomach bug for the whole day. It was bad because I persisted to keep working even with it and that just made me feel even worse. Then Sunday I was feeling a lot better and had Church and everything. And I met another crazy person yesterday who thought she was Queen Elizabeth. She kept talking how she was the queen and that she owns London and New York. And how she is like Jesus because she saves people. Crazy. Something about the occasional warm weather keeps bringing the crazies out. They keep trying to talk to us and it's kinda annoying. Today I got a new bed even though I am leaving in a week probably. The mattress I had for the past 6 months had old pee stains from a previous missionary. Who does something like that and doesn't tell the mission office. This is possibly my last full week in this area and I am both ready to go but kinda want to stay. I'm tired of walking down the same old roads day after day but I have fun teaching lessons to our investigators and meeting with them and answering there questions and talking to the ward members. It is weird because I feel like I got here 3 days ago. But I will deal with it. Last thing, transfers are the beginning of next week so if you have anything to send me send them next now or in 2 weeks when I get the new address. This is all for this week I guess. Take to yall next week. Bye!
