Yaa Teeh!
What a wonderful week in Flora Vista!
Monday we had everyone in the District come and we played some football. That was lots of fun! Then we got to have some baptism interviews with some of our investigators, they both passed! While we were waiting for them we were playing with the 9 yr old boy and we went out to our truck to grab a soccer ball. Well we came back into the gym and we couldn't see him. Then he came under the curtain and yelled to try and scare us. I had previously put my suit coat down on the stage so I could play some sports. Well he slipped on my coat and fell head first onto the gym floor. Ya, that wasn't the greatest feeling ever. Then the kid popped right back up with no sign of any injury. I will say that it looked really cool! While we were playing with him I was really sore for playing football that afternoon. lol. :)
Tuesday I saw the biggest Dictionary I have ever seen! This thing is massive! Then we went to a house and visited a man. He has a black lab named, Blacky. I would pet it and play around with it. When I stopped periodically it would paw me to start again. This went on for about 10 minutes. AWESOME!
Wednesday I went on an exchange with Elder Vance. We had some good times talking about what we liked to do and the friends we had. Then we got to go visit one of our recent converts. As we were there the recent convert drove in and got her Brand New car stuck in a ditch. She wasn't very happy. We worked for probably half an hour to get the car out. We did so with no damage. Good stuff!
On Thursday I found out that we have an amazing hearing pianist in Elder Manu from Hawaii! This Elder is good! We had a pretty slow day after that though.
Friday We got to give some service to an older lady who is investigating. We took a sowing table from her van into her house, then covered her chimney and swamp coolers on the roof. That was so nice to be able to give service like that. I love service! Then we got to talk to her about General Conference. I'm excited for Conference because it's awesome, I'm not excited for Conference because that means we have to wear suits 24/7. Well it's gotta happen some time! :)
Saturday we had probably the most interesting baptism of my mission. We baptized the mom her son. I got to baptize the son. Well after we baptized him and all got changed the kid had vanished! It took us like 5 or 10 minutes to find the kid. LOL! :) Then we got to go visit another investigator. This dude was H-I-G-H WOW!!!!!!! I asked if we could have an opening prayer and he went off on they were in his other pair of pants, his good ones. Then later we asked if we could come back and he asked if my kids were coming. Um..... he then told me he needed to know this because he might have to get the high chair for them. That was only part of the conversation! ..... :)
Sunday we got to church and went through the ward business and then the bishop announced the Sacrament. I looked at Elder Deakin and raised my hand and pointed at our recent converts. The bishop then remembered.That was fun. :) We also got to meet our other recent converts first missionary. We took some pictures and stuff and talked about the mission.
Monday, yesterday we went up to Monticello to go to the Temple. I love the Temple! It is such a wonderful place. The feelings there are just so amazing! If you haven't gone recently, GO!!!!!! That took all day so that's why I didn't write yesterday. The temple trip only happens once per year.
Thanks for all the support! Until next time, Hagonet!
