So where to begin...Hmm... Oh I know Elder Dalmas backed into a mailbox! Which led to a night of moral decisions, Giants, and sneaking about! Elder Dalmas eventually told the six foot five giant the truth. The whole time I am in the background making Dalmas question every decision!
Next day was Hectic! So just some background information since Elder Dalmas and I always have the car, the other Elders and Sister in Waterford have to share but they can't be in the same car together. So when it is required for them to switch or go somewhere far we are always involved. We started at our apartment and drove to the sisters apartment in Avalon Park which is 15 miles away to pick up the Elders, then came back to the church to do interviews with the President, another 15 miles. Then dropped the Elders at there church 10 miles away, then back to our place another 10. Then drove to bishops which is another 15. When then where informed that one of our Recent Converts was in the hospital so we drove over there to give a blessing. Which was 20 miles! So we drove 85 miles in one day!
Next day we More less active work and we stopped by one and knocked on the door. A lady answered the door and we asked if the Less Active lived there she said no. So we did the whole "we are missionaries of the church of Jesus Christ" thing and now she wants to meet with us. So we then get back in the car and we receive a text from Jen and she tells us that she was talking to her roommate in the hospital about the gospel and how she wants to learn more! Whooo!
Next day of this wild week we where doing Facebook Proselyting and Elxer Dalmas received a friend request from an Argentine girl. He then used google translate to interpret her Spanish. Gift of tongues! Taught her a couple minutes and Dalmas thought she was interested in the gospel. Nope just wanted a boyfriend. So we won't be talking with her again. Then Kim and her husband took us to lunch at an Italian restaurant. Now this place had a lot of lovely statues and pictures that just made Elder Dalmas and I have to look down all that time. That's not art! So it was awkward!
Next Day! We went to the church ranch for a ward activity called Guns and Grub! We did not participate in the Guns portion but did freely partake of the grub. Their were a lot of Non-Mormons there and it was funny seeing their reaction to a bunch of Mormons blasting off rifles, and shotguns! Afterwards we visited Kim. She has been really struggling lately with school and her relationships. So we helped her feel better and now she is totes motivated to read and pray and it's just awesome!
To end this Crazy Week we had church as always but afterwards went to do some more less active work! We met with this family who are just great! Definitely on there way. At the end of the lesson their 19 year old daughter pointed at me and said to her parents "if you would have told me that the cute missionaries where coming over I would have got more ready!" So that's nice.
We then stopped by another less active and started her on her porch and whilst we where teaching her, her neighbor came out and asked if she could sit in with us! She said she was catholic and she gave some really good input! She wants us to come over again!
Sorry about the long email. So much has happened this week that like the Book of Mormon a hundredth could not be written down! I hope you all have a great week!
