Hey guys!! Last week was pretty fun! Let's see, where to start?
Well last tuesday some members invited us over to dinner and afterward
they pulled out some pumpkins and let us carve them. It was a party! I
was really glad we got to do it cause I was really bummed I wasn't going
to get to. They have a daughter who is 7 and she is super cute. She
reminds me alot of lucie!! I carved a skull into my pumpkin. I'll send
a pic.
On Halloween they told us we weren't really allowed to go out and
about but we got permission to go and chill at an investigator's house
for a while. He lives up in the rich area. Actually, it's the guy who
owns the Ferrari. I guess I shouldn't really call him an investigator.
He isn't really interested in learning about the church. But he told
us to go to his house on Halloween cause apparently it gets pretty crazy
up there. And he wasn't kidding!! I have never seen so many trick or
treaters in my whole life!! There were thousands!!!! I'm not even
exaggerating. They had multiple trucks pulling trailors with hay on
them so they could transfer the masses to the top of the hill and
stuff. There was a house that had multiple cotton candy machines and
popcorn machines going and the line for that house was crazy long.
People were waiting like 30+ minutes to get some. It was out of
control. But pretty fun!! We just sat out in his front yard around a
fire pit for a while. It was a party!
Pretty much all of our appointments with investigators fell though
last week. We didn't really see any of them. Of the ones we did see,
we committed them to come to church with us yesterday, but none of them
showed up. So that's kinda disappointing. On the plus side though we
finally saw Chris!! Well kinda. She wasn't feeling well so she didn't
want us to come over but we asked her if she wanted a blessing. She
obviously didn't know what it was and first asked us if we could do it
over the phone haha. But we explained how it didn't really work like
that and so we went to her house and gave her one. So that was fun!
The other thing we did was do a lot of service for Guy, one of our
other investigators. Have I mentioned him before? I can't remember.
He's a pretty cool guy. He's been seeing missionaries for forever but
up until now, it's been kinda impossible to get him baptised. His wife
teaches at a catholic school and wants nothing to do with the church.
But I think they are getting a divorce now. I'm not really sure. They
are separated for sure. Anyways, we helped him put a basketball hoop in
his front yard. It was quite the ordeal. Fun though. The best part is
that at one point, we had to heat up the bottom end of the pole to get
some metal off, but he doesn't have a torch. So my redneck mind thought
up something wonderful. Why not use the grill?? So that's what we
did. We propped the whole hoop up on some garbage cans and stuck the
bottom in the grill. Worked like a charm!!! I'm brilliant. haha just
kidding. I wish I coulda gotten some pics of it. I was laughing so
hard. It was funny. But I had left my camera at home :(
This whole project took us about three days to complete. Saturday Sunday and this morning. Phew. It's finally done!!
But really, last week was pretty dull. Like I said we didn't see
too many people. A few less actives. That was good. Elder Seright and
I are doing great.
Halloween in Utah sounded fun!!! I'm super jealous that I missed
out on spudnuts. Although I have good news. I have redeemed myself.
We finally found some rhodes dough balls and I cooked up some
butterscotch rolls this morning!! Super delicious!!!! The Massey family
loved them as well. So that was good.
It sounds like life in PG is just as crazy as always. Way to swim
hard at the meet sadie! And way to go dad!! Working hospitality! Good
times. Not really. That's the worst.
Well I hope you all have a good week!!! Love you all!!
