My district is pretty cool. Its a good experience being district leader. Its pretty tough doing that training though, but helps me a lot. I should be getting transfered this next Thursday! Pretty sure. so next week p day is on Wednesday. I cant wait to watch general conference! Its so awesome. I learn soooo much!
THIS WEEK WAS A GOOD ONE! so this week a member of the ward gave us a call from the church and told us that a man called the church and told her he wanted missionaries to come stop by his house. it seemed pretty sketchy, but the next day we went and stopped by his house. his name is Steve, he invited us right in, and the second we got in his house our clothes got covered with the smell of smoke. His finger nails were a good half inch long, he had a good dirty beard, and some nice dirty teeth. the first thing he said to us was "i am a prohet of God and i want to join your church". hah right then we knew it was going to be a good visit. hahaha he sat us down and told us how he predicted the earth quake in Japan, and that was going to be three more nuclear disasters this year, in germany, cuba, and russia! also that Obama was going to be assassinated this year. he told us that all the sugar cane crops would be killed and we are going to have to find a new way to get sugar. haha then the one that we almost broke out in laughter, was that he told us he was the one who invented the moon walk, and also break dancing! i should have asked him to show us his moves. haha at the end of our visit with him he said a prayer and told us he wanted to give one of us the gift of discernment... ha so he stood up and put his hands on my shoulders and "gave me the gift of discernment". that was a good experience that really let me notice how important the priesthood is, because when people give you blessings, you can really feel the spirt. But there was absolutely nothing there when he did it, except for a good smile on my face.
Hahaha Also this week we found an awesome lady named Palmira, she is from Texas, her mom is aztec and she is way nice. She invited us right in and we sat and talked for a good while about God and her beliefs. She didnt have a lot of time that day, but asked if we would come back, and she told us she would have a good mexican meal for us! Golly, the best mexican food I've ever had. hah we had a great lesson with her about the Book of Mormon. and we will be going back to see her this week. Im loving life out here in good ole Iowa! ha I miss everyone and hope you are all doing grrrreat! LOVE YOU ALL!
