Week Twenty

Holy cow this week flew by. It feels like it was p day just yesterday! I don't even remember what I did last p day though. All I know is I've been busy up here in Rockland. Here is some news I'd like to drop off right here in the beginning. Skype calls have been changed to 40 minutes now! So yeah I was sad about it the first night they told us, but I'm fine now. Next is transfers are next week! So will I stay in Rockland or will I be heading off to a new foreign land? I don't know, nothing but time can tell. Anyways it's been a fun week,it all started in the ER.

So its a Tuesday right? And you know how Tuesdays are. I feel like it's the most random day of the week. Like if a dog randomly walked into your house, and made itself your pet, it'd probably happen on a Tuesday. So, we were just walking around minding our own business when we decide to flash visit my boy C. No one was home which is very unusual for them. So we gave them a call. He answered and he said something about the ER, and I wasn't paying attention very well so I was like "that's cool!" then I was like wait hold up. My boy C is in the ER. So we decided to go and give him a visit. Missionaries, another great place to find is an ER waiting room. That was some of the most success I've seen out here in New England. We picked up a few new investigators just waiting with C! He's all good now though. Send some prayers his way though!

This week we had an amazing experience on a street l'd like to call Miracle Street. So we received a referral to visit some lady in an old folks home. Well we were going to originally drive there, but I was like "let's park at the usual spot and walk." Well we did that, and we began our walk down Rockland Main Street. On that walk down we saw two investigators we had lost contact with and set up return appointments with them. Then we got to the old folks home. And I don't know how I find myself in this situation so much, but we walk up to the doors, and this random old lady checking the mail let's us in. Well the lady we needed to see was on the second floor. And here I am again sneaking up the stairs of an old folks home. We get to the floor she lives on and it was deserted. We knocked her door and she wasn't home. Or sleeping, because she's super old. After that we walked out and acted confident that we were supposed to be there, because if I've learned anything, just being confident like you know what you're doing gets you far. No one asked any questions and we made it out without angering any old people or workers.
After that we walked back towards the main road we take to see some of our investigators. Well the day before one of the people we talked to in the ER was a woman and her child. Her kid swallowed a Lego, and she was just there to make sure he was OK. Well we were talking and she was slightly interested, and we were about to get her contact info and everything to set up an appointment when one of our nurse friends working at the ER took her away! We were so sad that we wouldn't be able to contact her that we texted our nurse friend to give her our number. Our friend didn't see the text in time, and she was officially gone into the night. Fast back forward to us walking on the street, and I happen to glance over at a car passing, and the WOMAN WAS DRIVING IT! She turns the corner and  we chase after her in the quickest walk we can do without looking creepy. She had pulled into a bank drive through. So we walked into a bank drive through. She was amazed to see us. As were we to see her. We asked how the Lego was. It passed fine. Lol. We got her number and set a return appointment. That was a crazy 2 hours.

Then we had zone conference the next day. It was beautiful! I saw my brother Elder Wendel, and my homies from the MTC district. I got a pic with the Elders in my MTC district.

Then on Saturday we had M's baptism. She asked me to play my uke during the interlude. So I brought it up to Ellsworth, and played my first gig. I was payed in sliced cheese and crackers. It was actually pretty fun playing in front of everyone. 

It finally snowed!!
