Crazy Sauce 1.24.11

so i sure hope you guys weren't praying for a longer email because this week i have one of the most interesting ones at my personal expense. so on Wednesday the ward mission leader wanted to meet up with us in the church after lunch, so we go to lunch and she gave it to us to go. so we ate it in the church and waited for the member to show up. well we are in there for several hours and around 330 he still hadn't showed up so we left. well that day was kind of gay and i had a headache so we went home. well at the house that night he calls the house and it turns out that he was waiting for us outside in his truck. the wiener has a key and all but didn't bother to go in. so that was really annoying. then on Thursday i wake up and i have a fever. i felt like crap the rest of the day. well around lunch time we get a call from the zone leaders and they tell us that my comp has to call pres. it was pretty weird. so he calls pres and he says that there is a problem with his family and that he had permission to call home. so he calls his dad and at first there was just a lot of confusion. well finally he understand him and finds out that his sister was in a coma in the hospital and that she was in serious condition on life support and they wanted him to be at home with them. so he works it out with pres and pres works it out with the area seventy and at 5 that night we had him on a bus home. well everything is all weird after that and so i left with the zone leaders to work and i still felt like crap. i was really hot and thirsty. so we visited this investigator of theirs and we brought some members. the guy was really weird and they had told us about him and his theology. he believes that we are descendants from aliens who used a laser to transplant us into monkeys. anywho., the guy obviously was really weird. so we were there outside his shop for at least 30 minutes and meanwhile this 5 year old of the member we brought was jabbering and i sweat my ears almost fell off. so after that whole thing we passed by a less active family and then we went home. then on Friday i find out that my comps sister had died. that was weird. so i get a call from a member in this ward and they said that they saw it on facebook on his post. then later that day he calls me. he seemed OK. but i know him and he seems the type that holds back his emotions. poor guy. its been hard to see him like that. so on top of all this. on Saturday we got robbed. so we had an appointment with an investigator. well they totally failed us and so i call them on the cell phone. well at the same time there were 3 guys on a motorcycle cruising looking for trouble and they saw us. well the other elder gets a bad feeling and we start to head off. then then had come around and jumped off and were like "give us all your stuff." well first off i didn't have anything i really cared about, except the game of Uno in my pocket that we were going to play for a family night. and they took it all. pretty gay stuff. the funny part was that the guy that cam up to me was this weeny looking kid and at first i was like, " I'm not giving you anything,"and he kept reaching for my pockets but every time i pushed him away, then he gets closer and so i put my arm over his shoulder and grabbed his hands. then he called his friend over. so i let him go because his friend had something under his shirt that could have been a gun. so just to play it safe i gave in. so i lost my game Uno. as he was walking off with it just to get my last word in i said" hey its just a game, i hope you like to play" hahah, that was kind of funny. surprisingly i wasn't that mad after it. i mean i would like to find him and gouge his eyes out but i felt like he didn't really take anything i cared about. so it wasn't as bad. the act that they robbed us yeah but whatever, not much you can do now. well then on Sunday i was with the ZLs and went to their ward, and my ward mission leader was there and all. that was awkward. the guy bothers me. well the good thing is that neither me or my comp had to give our assigned talks that Sunday. lol. but what a price to pay!!. so today we went to Sierra de Los Padres. that touristic city where all the rich plantation owners live. and that was pretty cool. we just went and looked at all the shops and the scenery. they have these rock faces. kind of like the red rock and that park in st George. so i guess i didn't miss out on your trip after all. haha.. well I'm glad to know you are all fine. may your week go better and more prosperous than mine.




love
