HELLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Hey
everyone so glad I get to speak to all of you again and tell you about my
adventures here in Ontario. Not a whole lot of crazy things this week but a
super awesome exchange in London! So let us just jump right to it!
Monday
and Tuesday weren't too exciting just some service and visiting with people.
Cool thing that happened on Tuesday was that we were able to go and bless a
member’s home that they recently purchased. It was a super sweet experience and
they were super grateful for our willingness to come over and do that for them.
OH! The Dad had this super sweet remote control truck that is gas powered and
can get up to speeds around 50 mph!! The thing was freaking wild I couldn't
believe it!
Wednesday
we had District Meeting and interviews with the Mission President. I am so glad
I get the opportunity to talk to him because he gives some really good advice
and always has an answer to some of my questions.
After
that the legendary exchange took place. I went to London with one of the Zone
Leaders Elder McBride and let’s just say crazier things have happened. When we
got there we needed to go out and visit some people so we were walking around
town and this guy started yelling at us about how we have been brainwashed and
that we have no right to talk to people about something we know nothing about.
Well there was nothing I could do except tell him to have a nice day and to
just keep on walking. I think it is absolutely hilarious when things like that
happen because it just shows that at least people know what church I am from
even if they got all the facts wrong. 😂😂
That night was super awesome!!
We had an activity lined up with the Young Men and we were going to play kill
ball. Basically kill ball is just a game of dodge ball but on steroids. The
deal was that if Elder McBride and I could beat them than they had to come and
be a missionary with us for an evening and if they won than we had to bake
them cookies. The stakes were definitely high because I suck at baking. So to
give you an idea of how difficult this was it was just Elder McBride and I
against 25 Young men and the leaders. The odds were definitely not in our
favor, however God was definitely on our side because WE WON EVERY GAME THAT WE
PLAYED!!! I was just dodging and weaving and pegging people with the ball! We
even played a free for all at the end just for fun and I won again!! Guess
those years of baseball weren’t for nothing. So this coming week the Zone
Leaders have scheduled a night for the Young Men to go out with them and I
can't wait to hear how it goes!!
The
next day we had to go to an apartment that the missionaries are no longer
living in to patch it up so that it looks really nice and clean for the next
people that come in. That didn't take too long, only a couple of hours. Then we
went to KFC for lunch and had some delicious chicken. Then we went and met with
a couple of people.
Now
comes the horror story of the century so everyone hold on tight and don't let
go because we are about to go on a wild ride!! We went to go visit this less
active member who lives in a group home because he is not all the way there in
the head. We got there and this guy was just creeping me out. He started
showing us this death book that he had. Basically it was everyone who he has
ever known and their records of their deaths just laminated and put into this
binder. Now that wouldn't have been an issue but the problem was I could never
tell if this guy was being serious with the things he was saying to us. So
after about 30 minutes of random and uncomfortable conversation we decided to
get going. The door that leads out of his place doesn't actually go outside, it
goes into an enclosed cement walkway that leads to the actual outside door. So
we get into this walkway and we were talking about how we had KFC for lunch
that day and he closes the door behind us and everything gets dark and he says
and I quote "You didn't bring me any KFC, now I can never let you leave!"
And this guy has a laugh that is straight outta of a horror movie. Just imagine
a vacuum trying to suck up a soggy piece of pizza, yeah creepy right! So as
soon as he said that you best believe that I was outside in about a millisecond
because I aint putting up with that crap. So after we left the house of horrors
we went back to doing regular missionary work.
That
is about all that went on this week. Thank you for all the love and support
that you show me I truly appreciate it. Hope you all have a good rest of the
week and an awesome 4th of July!!!!
