August 20,2018
So this MSF cycle was kind of long, and we ran out of some breakfast foods like cereal, and someone, broke all the eggs on the floor one morning. Luckily we had things for cookies. We had snickerdoodles for breakfast and basically every other day after that at some point in the day we have cookies. It has been really good, probably not good for us though. We did eat a ton of oranges though so I think they cancel out. Any who on to stories.
Story Number 1: What can I do to get baptized?
This week we had no people on baptism date, now I know in some missions that is usual, but for Africa its pretty easy to get people on date. Now this week we were at a lesson and we were teaching the plan of Salvation, and as we were closing up the lesson he asked this question. So we opened up into the scriptures to Doctrine and Covenants 20:37 and discussed it. Then after we had expounded the scripture, my companion extended a baptismal invitation. He accepted and we set a date for him. The coolest thing about that was it was my companions first Baptismal invitation ever on his mission. He was on a different level after that. It was kind of scary. He was very excited, as was I. That was a powerful Lesson!
Story Number 2: It's funny what you see at a bus station bench.
This is what I told the elder that I was on exchanges with. We were having a day full of drops, so we sat down at a bus stop and just watched people walk by. The best thing we saw was, wow that is a palindrome! Sorry, any way, the thing we saw was this little tiny dog that thought it was the big dog. Hated passerby's so it would bark and nip at them. We watched this dog go at a few people until we saw this wonderful gentleman coming home from work swing his lunch box ever so nonchalantly down the road. Then the dog came at him. I have never seen anyone give less care than that man. He just gracefully picked up a pebble, not a rock but a pebble, and continued to walk by swinging his lunch box. After the dog started coming back he just lobbed the pebble with a hook shot and kept walking. Me and my companion were laughing so hard. I love the care this gentleman gave.
Congrats to my grandpa! He is a 100! I could never ever seeing him like attention Ha Ha. That does not sound like grandpa at all. Open house sounds like it was fun. Here was a very usual week, nothing really happened except I am finding I am way more upfront with people about their questions, especially drunk people. Then I mess with them, my comp. told me that you can tip them over by swaying. I hope I can try that this week. It will be funny. Dad sorry no travel plans this week.
Well I love you all, have a lovely week
