One Heck of a week

So this week was crazy.

On Monday we got our Two week missionary ( I think I mentioned him last week, if not well now I did). 

Then Tuesday was Zone Meeting. Really good.... but really long and dry at points. Then we started working and Elder Latu (our two-weeker) got two flats on his borrowed bike. 

Wednesday we were on exchanges and me and Elder Latu were back with my old comp Elder Clark! So we fixed the flats and then like 10 minutes later he got another one so we fixed that one too hahah.

We were still able however to teach Darion and it went really well. After we finished teaching the plan of salvation we had him re-tell us it. He did it very well, something  I thought he would struggle with. At the end of the lesson his sister (one of the many that are there) asked if next time she could join us! We said ABSOLUTELY!

thursday.... can't remember... nothing too crazy obviously...

Friday-weekly planning. A little bit of service moving a couch for a member. then we taught Darion again. We taught him the gospel of Jesus Christ or the first 4 principles and ordinances of the church and the Word of wisdom! He committed to live the word of wisdom and said it would help him in his life! and Now he has a baptismal date of AUG 15!

Saturday we were supposed to go to two child of record baptisms ... but didn't... we thought that they were the same one... and we properly excused our selves from one... but not the other....................... so that happened... but it worked out better for us. Then my seat post broke on my bike... that also happened... so then my bike looked like it fit in with Victorville... gotta have something Ghetto about you. As missionaries are encouraged to embrace the culture so... hahah then we walked in the evening... cuz my bike was hard to ride. and Elder Roberson got a really bad sunburn... like lobster bad hahah. During our walking Elder Latu asked us what we talk to people about when we street contact them... and we were like..."pretty much whatever" so we decided we had best teach him what street contacting is like: 

        So we are walking and we see this guy who is working on his old car ('67 mustang it was really nice!!!!!). As we walk up I see a sticker on his other car for a church that does a lot of anti-mormon stuff. so I am thinking to my self " Welp!... We wanted to teach him what street contacting is like and he is gonna figure it out." We start talking to him about his mustang ... I know enough about cars to fake a convo ... but Elder Roberson doesn't know much so he was 100% faking hahah. So we chat about his car for like half an hour and its really cool. Then the conversation turns to God and religion and for like an hour we have an amazing Spirit-filled conversation about the differences and similarities between our churches and our beliefs! Turns out this guy is a teacher/leader of sorts at his church. It was really cool because normally when you talk with members of this church (which we do a lot), especially leaders, they like to get up in our grill about things but this was a very polite and easy conversation. It was also kind of interesting to see how his attitude changed while were there. At first he was at a 9 on the uncomfortable scale and you could tell he was very nervous around us. He was stammering a lot and fighting really hard to stay the leader of the conversation. But as it went he got more comfortable and stuttered less. He was probably at a 4 when we left.

Sunday was church and dinner with one of the funniest guys ever hahah! Just one of those members. hahaha

Love
