General Conference, Surprise Marriage, and a Baby Horse: April 8, 2013


Hey Ya’ll!

This week was nothing to brag about. We did see some crazy stuff lately. On Monday we played games like Monopoly Deal with B. Rogers, one of the members.  That night I set up some Saran wrap in the bathroom to prank Elder Low and Chapman the next morning. The next day it worked out. We had a lesson with Tiffany where she gave her boyfriend an ultimatum to marry her the second time and we were just trying to get it in her mind that she wants someone that can take her to the temple - that is most important for marriage.  It’s not just so she can have a legal relationship. We had a Nerf war at the end of the day and I got a lot of people out with my pistol. It rocks from it being modified. We also got this new lady we are teaching, Latesha Verrar, who was grateful and knew there was a purpose for us talking to her.

 

Thursday was just trying to see people. We saw Jerritt King before he left on a 9-month tour in Afghanistan.  I gave him my military version Principles of the Gospel booklet for him to have. He loved it because he lost his a time or two ago. We said our last "MY MOM" jokes before he left.

 

On Thursday we also had district meeting, during which I gave a training on relationships with your companion. Elder Atkinson, the district leader, just had us watch a 5 minute video of the district 2 for his training.  Later, we did an exchange with Elder Bird and we were just trying to find things to do. When we came back to the apartment early, we saw the guy a level below us in the apartment complex halfway out the screen door smoking with no pants on so we got a very graphic image to blind us and then it made us all die laughing. He walked back inside when he saw us coming.  One of my old companion’s (I won’t name him) shirts don’t fit him anymore because of him drinking so much soda and gaining weight.

 

On Friday we exchanged back and Elder Chapman didn’t like it. We talked to Tiffany again and she now is marrying her boyfriend after the ultimatum. She put this temple picture I gave her in her bathroom so we’ll see where that goes.

 

Saturday was conference, and we spent the second session alone. I made a gallon of Tang to drink during the conferences to stay focused and awake. Really loved what they had to say to us. I am unable to write even a 100th of what they said, it was so great but I can say “Catch the Wave.” We were able to eat chili for lunch with one member and pizza for dinner with another. We had a fun time with the branch during priesthood since the branch is very funny about pointing things out.

 

Sunday was cool to since we saw a baby horse at Nick Russo's farm and we talked to a potential named Jo-Jo who was so buzzed that she tried to smoke an unlit cigarette.  She said she will test us by having us make a lesson according to her. Later on for dinner, I ate the pizza of my picky childhood (Freschetta). Still good.

 

Well, love you all!

Elder McClure
