So this week was a week of exchanges! So good!
Monday
we headed up to Blanding and got to play a little ultimate, it was so
good to play again! Then I went on exchanges with Elder Yingling up in
Monticello.
Tuesday we tried a lot of people with not much success but it was a good day over all.
Wednesday
we had Zone Conference. So we practice our baptismal invitations at ZC
and we a practice where we were supposed to say no because our family
was against it. and then the missionary was supposed to find a way to
still commit them. Well Sister Ray gave the invitation and then I said,
"No, my dad's brother got murdered by a Mormon. So he really doesn't
like Mormons." Ya, that was mean. :) But she did a really nice job and
then did what she was supposed to. After ZC we headed back to Bluff with
the Assistants and then we went on exchanges with them. So I went with
Elder Christensen. He is a really good listener. We went and saw someone
on the reservation. He can talkkkkkkkkkkkk. wow. But we taught a little
and then we headed back for the night.
For the first half of Thursday
we were still on exchanges. We saw this LA guy who doesn't like to come
to church. We started talking with him and I asked the question, "What
would make you come to church?" He started twitching in his face and
tearing up and said, "my dad." The spirit was so strong. We were able to
talk about eternal families. It was really cool. The we headed out to
the Rez and we knocked on this ladies door. She went inside to grab
something and then we heard something on the roof above us. It sounded
like it was caving in on us. We both flipped around an saw a cat
climbing down a pole. Funny stuff! Then we exchanged back. We went over
the the Mattesons (the senior couple) and they gave us a bunch of food
along with the movie Ephraims rescue so we could watch it. SOOOO GOOOD!
Friday
the balloon festival started in Bluff. So there were lots of hot air
balloons in the sky in the morning. Cool stuff. Then we headed out to
the rez and we got to a house we a dog that was up to my rib cage. It
was big and black. I got it come over to me and I petted it. Then E.
Tucker tried and it almost bit his hand off. Then the owner came out and
stopped it from killing him. Crazy!
Saturday
we biked out towards Montezuma and there is this house that we pass
that has 2 really, not so nice dogs. Well we passed it a couple of times
and they almost bit our ankles each time. Well we were about to leave,
but to do so we have to pass this house. So I pick up some rocks and put
them in my pocket and we start riding. E. Tucker is infront of me and
we get to the house and out come the biggest dog. Great... So I pull out
a rock, while still biking, just in case I need it. Well it keeps
coming towards E Tucker on a 90 degree angle. So I throw the rock as
hard as I can and it hits the dog in right in the chest behind the front
leg after bouncing off the ground. Missionaries 2 Dogs 0.
MWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! It was pretty sweet! Then we got to watch the
balloon festival. Interesting stuff.
Sunday.
I can now say I have had some strange foods on my mission! So we went
to a birthday party for one of our investigators. At the party they had
muttin stew and blue mush. Muttin doesn't have much taste neither does
blue mush, yes it does look like blue mush. You could also think of
oatmeal colored blue. Interesting stuff.
Good week! Until next time, Hagoonee'!
