Nerf Gun Repentance

10/2/2017

Words to the wise... nerf guns and eyeballs don't mix... so anyway I'll explain later on because I've gotta get people to read my weekly somehow and not just look at the pictures haha.

So anyway, last Monday just as a recap we had an epic nerf war and plans are that the same thing is going down today just bigger proportion.  So that's going to be freaking crazy in a good wayJ  So then on Tuesday we decided to go out to Lima and meet some more people there so we hopped in the car and took off and on the way the mountains looked so awesome!!!  Like I miss snowboarding so much right now it's ridiculous... and of course I took a pic...  it's a super low quality pic but that's what happens when you take one through the car window driving at about 80 mph. 

We went to Lima and had dinner with a member family and her son is taking the discussions so it was good to meet up with him.  Anyway then on Wednesday was district meeting and not a bad one if I do say so myself.  We got some good training done and it was all just a real good time.  The district decided to joke around and mess with me a bit since my suit didn't match a few weeks ago and everyone wore a suit that didn't match to district meeting so that was pretty funny haha.  After district meeting we went and ate at this place in twin bridges and it was pretty good!!  Can't complain at all!!  After that we tried contacting a few people out of the blue and it went decently well.  

On Thursday was our planning day so we just planned for our week and then had dinner at this super good place where they legit have a mac and cheese burger!!!  I'm pretty sure that as I was eating it I experienced nirvana… 😂 ... it was so good!!  Then later on that night we had a lesson with Sarrah, one of our investigators, and this was an awesome lesson!!  We taught about the gospel of Jesus Christ and she asked all the right questions and it was awesome!!  Pretty funny though, but I lost the phone Wednesday night and couldn't find it until later on and I had missed a call and a few texts from the member that helps us in the lessons asking if we were still good for Wednesday night... I was super confused because I had it in my books that it was going down on Thursday night.  Anyway so we still had the lesson on Thursday but I realized that I had to have put it in on the wrong date... rookie mistake… opps, haha!  But it was super funny because I was super confused about the whole thing but it is all water under the bridge now!!  Then on Friday we went street contacting for a little bit.  Then we tried visiting the people in our book.  When everything seemed to fall through we decided to take tripanionship pics at this rock place since we didn't have like any together.  So basically it looks like we're about to drop a fire new album which I thought was funny.  

Saturday conference had its big kickoff and man was this conference one for the books!!  I felt like a lot of the time I was being spoken to directly!!  Honestly my biggest take away from conference was the whole concept of being in a spiritual eclipse.  I absolutely loved that way of putting it and teaching a lesson that's not easily learned.  So that was super awesome!!  And then priesthood conference was super good as well and Sunday finished it right off!!  Just this whole weekend strengthened my testimony of the prophets and apostles that much more and I just loved every second of it.  After conference we had another really awesome lesson with Sarrah and we taught the word of wisdom and she's like yeah I don't see a problem with this at all.  In fact I've stayed away from these like my whole life so it’s no problem.  Which is exactly what you want to hear as a missionary!!  So that was just super freaking awesome!!  Then we drove up to Butte for today's shenanigans.  

I'm sure that you're wondering about the whole nerf gun in the eye thing (or maybe you forgot)... well you see I think Thursday night we were all chilling and Elder Escobar goes to the bathroom.  Well, I decide that when he comes out I'm going to pepper him with his own nerf gun.  Pretty good idea, right???  Well I also grab his little pistol because why not right?  I have the pistol in hand and decide that I'm going to do a no look shot right at Elder Montoya... this was a bad idea.  But there was no little voice in my head saying that it was a bad idea or anything like that, which is what normally happens but this time nothing.  So I let off a shot at Elder Montoya and I look over right as it hits him right in the eye and I swear this is all going in slow motion.  Well it puts him down and I immediately feel suuuuuuuper bad... and to this day I still feel really bad...  

That's my week in a nutshell thanks for listening and tune in next week to find out how the nerf war went!!
