Week 86

howgoezit?

This week was pretty 'trill'

First off, we arent getting transfered! Im super pumped because we have filled out teaching pool super high this week! Not to mention I get 6 more weeks with our racquetball court and sauna. Did I mention we have those at our apartment? #blessed

So as I mentioned, We had a few baptisms last week so our teaching pool meant that we had to... tract! duh duh duuuuh! Ok I really dont like tracting, and Ill be honest, I complained a little bit. Nearing the end of one of our tracting days (it was april 20ths, 4/20, so everyone was freakin stoned and didnt talk to us) but we walk up to a door, and there is a huge bong on the porch. Bad sign. Anywho it was was my turn to knock, and this guy about our age comes out. He says he always sees missionaries and thought they were sales people, so we told him otherwise, he took a restoration lesson right there. Awesome!  Even better, he interrupted us when we got to priesthood (like 5 minutes in) and striaght up asked to be baptized! Oh man Ill never complain about tracting (as much at least haha)  Also, golden because his girlfriend used to be a member so he said he was going to make sure she started taking the lessons with him. He gave us a hug when we gave him a Book of Mormon. So legit!

We had a fewa other sweet experiences very similar to that. Our week went really well.

We met Johnny, who used to meet with the missionaries when he was 14 (like 14 years ago) and he said he has been wanting them to come back recently! man this is gold! The area is #lit so im super pumped that Im staying.

Cute story, we were tracting around a potential (cuz the address didnt exist) and two little kids about 3-4 answered the door and totally walked with us to show us where he lived! totes adorbs. They gave us fist bumps after.

On a more temporal rather than spiritual saving note, we helped save this dude from overdosing on heroin in the library bathroom. that was pretty sketchy. He was passed out and puking everywhere and then as soon as the sirens and lights came up from the ambulance he got up and took off. Kinda crazy. I think they got him though. Hopefully. 

ANywho. Thats about it. Its been hecka hot, but also kinda cold. on and off. Ill enjoy the lack of snow while Ive got it haha.
