It was a pretty good week!
We played basketball for Pday, imagine that. Im sure the NBA should come start watching us play, maybe would could get someone recruited and they could pay for the mission to swich to an all car mission. That would be good. I'm all about helping a bike brother out.
We had a ton of lessons fall through this week. I think we had 5 or 6 in one day. Good golly haha I forget sometimes people have real lives. but remembering that helps out a ton. haha I do think it would in the long term be much more efficient though if everyone would quite their jobs and work on building temples. We can always pray for manna and rain.
We had a moment this week, well in reality a couple of moments that I realized more and more that I'm going to miss being a missionary.
We went over to a less active's house and were having dinner, they haven't been able to come to church in a long time because they couldn't find it. but we went and told them where it was. She told us how much she loved us and was so grateful that we came by to eat. She didn't have much so we had some leftover lasagna, canned potatoes and some bean tacos. one of the most humbling things though. She told us that we were angels and she was grateful for her angels that heavenly father had sent. It was amazing the spirit that was there. The things I will miss as a missionary...
My favorite part of the week was yesterday when we were out at this little mexican apt contacting a former that lived there. when we got there. This little mexican boy yelled It's the police! and ducked behind a couch. then we went upstairs and knocked on the door. The guy wasn't there so we walked back down. That was enough time for the kids to gather and get their toy guns. Kohlhase walked past them. but they yelled Freeze! and I froze on the stairs and yelled don't shoot! of course in 8 year old spanish that means fire away! So after a good ole shoot out. I died on the stairs. Then they celebrated. I got up and jogged to catch up to Elder Kohlhase and they yelled WEGOT A RUNNER! then the chased me through the complex out into the parking lot and out into the street. I for sure shoulda checked traffic before I did that but luckily I didn't get hit then we had a good ole shoot out behind parked cars before Elder Kohlhase got there to open the car up. It was the best mexican shoot out I have ever lost. However.. I may have just encouraged cop killing. Can't win them all.
We have a few investigator family's that we are working with. We found a part member family that is really neat. I got along with them really well and we set up a plan to get them back to church in a couple of weeks. I loved them. The Dad at then end said, I don't like to open up to very many people but you were special. That is what I am going to miss as a missionary.
I love this work. I honestly do. I invited 2 people at costco to get baptized last week. They both said no, but one of them thought about it and laughed pretty hard before he said no. So... Success is measured in different ways. I am soooo glad that it is coming to an end. I think I've lost about 5 years of my life expectancy but It was all worth it.
Ups and downs it's all great. 4 weeks will go by all to fast.
Remember who you are and what He stands for!
