Hey Y'all,
Crazy week! So on P-day we went to the store and got some food. Some pumpkin pie was on clearance so I had to get it. We then get home to find a ridiculous amount of soda sitting on our front porch. It was for one of the missionaries in the compound so we gratiously took it into our apartment for them. We then proceeded to go and get some Krispy Kreme. Super healthy I know.
Sunday we got to go to a Methodist Church. That was an interesting experience. They had a band playing and did a lot of rote prayers and had a coffee store in the front of the church. (I don't understand how they do that kind of stuff and then think we are a cult)
Anyway, Monday and Tuesday were pretty boring. Wednesday we had someone come up to us and just looked star struck. It was so awesome! Just like we were celebrities. She had just seen the Book of Mormon play and wanted to learn more! (haha jokes on those guys. They are just spreading the word more)
Thursday we had the privilege of meeting with Elder Neil L Andersen of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles with Marvin Goldstein at the piano. Because of this occasion we had the whole mission there and I got to see my MTC group. Elder Frederiksen (one of my companions) so I got to sit up next to Marvin on the stand. Both Marvin and Elder Andersen are super funny. Elder Andersen then began to talk and came up to the three of us sitting on the stand and told us to go sit down with everyone else. He didn't want us just looking at the back of him the whole time. Super cool. He brings the spirit so strongly. His testimony is the most powerful testimony that I have ever heard. We got to spend pretty much the whole day with him as we spent 3 hours with him for a missionary meeting and another 2 hours with him for a stake fireside. After the Stake fireside he shook everyone's hands so we got Dusty to go shake his hand and tell him that he was getting baptized on the 31st. Elder Andersen grabbed Dusty by the shoulders and said, "That is great! This will be the best decision you will ever make in your life!" Dusty was grateful that we were pushy and persistent in getting him to go talk to him. Friday nothing really special happened. Alas we are here right now...you are reading this part of my life and my email at this exact moment. I didn't get any pictures of the experience unfortunately. However, I did get a picture of our score from P-Day. In the words of Elder Frederiksen, " #BooYa" Have a great week Y'all!
