Hey Everyone!
This week has been a pretty good week! Last Monday was Halloween and we went to St. Robert and played basketball! It was a pretty good time! We played for a few hours, and then we went with Salem and we spent the day with them! We had a really good time! It was a fun day! Tuesday was an interesting day! We were out and we ran into a member! This is that older guy who works at Dominos that I talked about last week! He said something really funny this time! He was talking about how he can usually guess what race someone is by their orders and he made a pretty harsh statement about black people, and me and Elder Durrant started busting up laughing, and this is what he said "What guys? Thats not Racist! It is not racist if its true" We about died laughing! It was really funny because he was so serious! Wednesday was pretty good We had a zone training meeting in St. Robert! It was pretty good to go and see all those Missionaries! The thing that we are going over in all our meetings this month is The Gospel of Jesus Christ! It is pretty cool to go over it! It is one of those things that makes you realize how important the basics really are! One thing that I have been trying to focus on latley is not worrying about deep doctrine or anything like that, but rather I am trying to study the basic stuff, and see how I can apply that better to me right now! It has been pretty good! Its crazy how much that stuff makes you so much more happy! I have been really enjoying studying that! On Thursday our Zone Leaders called us and asked us to come down to St. Robert to do a baptism interview! When we got there it was a 80 year old lady who is from the Philippines! The interview was crazy! So this lady was hard core Catholic! I dont know if im allowed to share stuff from those interviews, but they were SOOOOO funny, so i am going to! I have 3 really funny things she said! First I asked her what she understood about the Law of Tithing she said "Tithing is the all the energy that you give to show the Lord you are grateful" I didnt fully understand her because of her accent, so i said "you give 10% right?" and she said "Oh ya thats what I ment! It is 10% of your money you give to the church" The second funny part was I asked her "What do you understand about the Word of Wisdom? " She answered "It is the Wisdom in the Word of God" I said something like "Right we see how God gives us Directions like what not to put in our body right?" and She said "Oh ya right right, and then listed all of the things that are against the Word of Wisdom! The last funny thing that happend is she said the closing prayer! I said the opening prayer, and so she agreed to say the closing prayer! It was SOOOOO FUNNY she said a Catholic memorized prayer, and part of that prayer she blessed "The Holy Catholic Church" I about died laughing after i walked out because in her interview for baptism she blessed the Catholic church! It was so funny! Friday was a pretty normal day! We taught a really good lesson with John! He is a guy who is investigating the church! He is a little interesting! I am not sure how much he is comprehending, but he seems to like it! We set a baptism date with him! We set it for November 19th! I hope he can make it! Saturday we took John to a baptism in Rolla, and it was interesting! The guy who preformed the baptism messed up on both of the people baptisms like 3 times! John seemed to like the baptims, so i guess thats what matters! Sunday was pretty good! It was fast and testimony meeting! It was funny there was a few people hinting at the election over the pulpit, so that was kind of funny! Monday We had district meeting, and it was ok! Everyone was talking about transfers, so there wasnt a ton of discussion going on! After the meeting we went to Wendys to eat lunch, and we were throughing a football in the parking lot after we ate, and we got kicked out of the parking lot, so that was kind of funny! Yesterday was a long day It was the day we got transfer calls! I am in the spot where I could be transfered, so i was trying to figure out if we were staying! Well we got our calls at 9 pm and I am staying in Sullivan with Elder Durrant for another transfer! I am pretty excited! This transfer goes until December 15th! I am pretty excited! Well that was my week! I love and miss you guys
