Back to the field!
So last night I finally moved. I was
hoping to be in my area by the afternoon to plan a little with my new
missionary, and meet with the ward mission leader. Then things started to get a
little complicated. The new office missionary is in the hospital and hasn´t
left yet. So yesterday i had to go into the office and put all the new minutes
on everybodies phones, and the system had some problems so that was a bit hard
and took a long time. Then I also had to give an english test to one of the
missionaries that was finishing his mission yesterday. By the time that was all
done I didn´t have my truck because other people were still looking for all the
missionaries and bags and stuff. So one of them had all my lugage so we
couldn´t go to our area until someone brought me my stuff. We ended up having
dinnner in the mission home and then after i had to run even more errands. We
got to the house at 9ish. It was a mess. They have just finished building the
apartments. So it was just so dusty and dirty. We had to set up all the stuff
like beds and stove and fridge, but it was nice because all the office elders
helped us. We got to be late and this morning we had to just clean because it
was so messy and all our stuff was still packed up.
This last week was pretty busy we
were finishing up all the moves and little things for transfers. We were just
passing the members house to say goodbye and to take a picture with them. We
were just done and we were going to go and contact a little to try to find more
investigators, and just as we were about to leave a member showed up at the
house. It was a member that i recognized but didn´t really know because he only
came ever now and again. He walked in and stopped and just about fell on his
face. I was right there so i caught him and caught a huge whif of rum. So i sat
him down on a chair so he didn´t fall over. He was so drunk. He grabbed me so I
just sat there next to him and he told me that he wasn´t going back to church.
I tried to just calm him down because i knew he would remember if i tried to
teach him anything. So I just told him he could and that we would help him, and
by the end he was telling us that he can do it. After he did that he started to
cray. He grabbed my arm, which drunk guys are pretty strong and tried to rip my
arm off. He was pulling and hugging my arm, and crying. then he kissed my arm.
So i told me that we could take him to his house to go to sleep. So we took him
to his little one room house. He was starting to keep a little angry again. I
was talking to him and then he just started yelling and turned from the door as
if he was going to just beat the crap out of me. I just braced for the impact
of his fist in my stomach and tried to step back and my companion thought so
too so he stepped closer to try to grab is arm, but he didn´t we put him in his
house and left him there. then we went back and washed our hands and when we
came out of the bathroom he was there on the porch again in the chair. So we
just left hi with the members there. He told me lots of time the he just loved
me lot. It was pretty crazy.
Well I hope that you guys have a
great week and that you guys are loving school! Amanda´s house looks really
good and it seems to be coming along really quickly. I love yu guys Tons!!
