Sometimes Awkwardness Happens

Jan 29^th 2018

I can never think of how to start these things to hook you guys into actually reading them.  What can I say?? Words are hard sometimes.  

So my week... so basically on Tuesday our dinner was suuuuper awkward it was funny haha so we called earlier that day and we set up the time to come over at 6 so we swing by at 6 and they’re like we totally forgot… haha!!!  So they round up some food for us and like sat there and talked to us while we ate and then come to find out he forgot because he took a nap. So funny! It was probably one of the most awkward dinners of my whole mission.  It’s all good though.  We’re just grateful he was willing to feed us even though.

Then we had our interviews with the mission president so that was super cool.  We talked about my mission and all that and how I’ve been doing.  All the good stuff.  Then our water decided it wanted to be difficult and so it decided to not work for us so we’ve had to shower at the zone leaders place lately, haha!!! Good times.

Then on Friday we went on exchanges with the zone leaders and that was fun.  I was with Elder Wright and it was good to catch up with him since we’ve been comps.  But then he tells me that they’re pranking him at dinner so we waited till they were done with dinner and called them and got all the details and it was awesome.  Basically an Elder faked being allergic to olives and like fell on the ground and “passed out” totally got Elder Phillips even tho he won’t admit it.

Next day we went and did some service at a thrift store and helped them move locations so that was cool.  Then that night we met some super sweet members at dinner!!  Like we talked and stuff about other Elders and her conversion story.  It was super cool!!  

Then Sunday was a blast.  Went to church and our investigator who is getting baptized this Thursday was at church and so that was super cool!!  Then this kid in our ward asked if we could help him with his home teaching and so we’re like yeah we can go with you.  So we set up that we would meet at 3 at their place and so at like 2:50 we get a call from him asking if we’re coming and we’re like uhh yeah we are leaving right now.  So we show up and he’s like do you guys have anything you want to share??  And I’m thinking uhh no bro this is your deal.  Well this guy decides to be silent and Elder Phillips is being super quiet because this is such a weird experience.  So I’m talking to these guys about anything and everything I could think of trying to think of something I could share when finally I get a break and the dad goes to talk to a guy out in their front yard real quick and the guy we are with leans over to me and tells me that this is what he wants to share and slides his phone over to me on an article in the friend about Thomas s Monson.  So he comes back and I wait for this guy to bring it up... nothing.  So I bring it up and start talking about it then finish up with a prayer.   

Haha anyway that was the end and today we all had a zone p-day so that was a blast!  Came down to worland to have some fun!!  It was a blast!!  Anyway so that was my week and it was pretty funny.  Anyway take care all!!

Love,
