This week has been quite interesting...i can name the events and i'll give you details in a bit...1. Car Accident2. Elder Power's ever deforming hand thanks to a Spider Bite3. Went to the Hospital4...other stuff...
Well it's been like a rollercoaster this week. Lots of interesting things have been happening so it's been interesting to see...First off yes...#1 happened. We were going to go see a member, but i realized they weren't home so i made basically just like a wide left turn. As i was going back to the left side of the road a car, which neither me, robbie, or Power saw, came pretty fast and i'm assuming he was trying to pass us before we got to our lane. Well he slammed on the brakes, i was only going like 5 mph maybe...and our left front of the car hit his right driver side door. Basically didnt do much to our car but his was a bit worse of condition. He was driving a little green like smart car thingy...sorta. Well it was 3 guys, all of which i'm pretty sure didnt have a license and they immediately called the drivers dad who lived just around the corner. It was a muslim guy, and everything worked out. I'm pretty sure he's freakin rich anyway cuz the next day his car was fixed. It was just surprising, no one got hurt, but we still have to report it in. Our car is just a bit dented and paint off. No biggie tho. Just gotta be careful. Didnt take me too long to get in my first accident! K that's not something to be proud of..i wish it hadn't happened but hey couldnt help it.
My companion woke up Wednesday with a red mark on his wrist. Basically by Friday it had gotten worse and it was like a zit on his arm. We popped it a couple of times and it would have nasty white juice come out :). Well Friday we went to the Chemist and got some cream and just some pills. By Sunday it was hurting him so bad he couldnt even move his arm. We decided to leave church early and go to the hospital. We paid a bunch to see a doc for 3 minutes to have him tell us something we already knew. It was retarded. Basically every day it would be burning him constantly, and his whole hand is swollen. It's doing ok now but it's still looking disgusting. We have it wrapped up. I'll keep ya posted if he turns into Spiderman anytime soon...We took some nasty videos too, it's awesome!
For missionary work it's kinda been up and down. Thanks to Power we just chilled back at the flat and have been taking it easy this week. He cant really stay awake and focus all that much. It just drains him of all his energy.
We went to go to an appointment the other day to see this little family and the wife was waiting at her gate for us. She had the BOM in her hand. Basically when we got there she told us she didnt want this book and she didnt want us to come back. She said she had been talking to some people and they told her what we do. I asked her what she had heard but she wouldnt tell us. This happens a lot. People start brining out false accusations against us and we dont even have time to reply back. It's dumb. So she dropped us. I feel bad, but whatever you cant really help it. People rely on other opinions way too much. She hadnt even read what we wanted her to read so she has no idea what it really says when i'm sure they told her more anti stuff...well whatever i'm just venting. I'll stop...
We're just staying busy with lots of stuff...as usual. Nothing too much coming up. We might have 2 or 3 Baptismal Dates coming up so we'll see. We'll probably set them for sometime in March tho...But yeah just a heads up. One guy from Congo, his name is Sydney. I'm sure i've mentioned him before. Way cool guy. Then Sister Brinks (RC) daugther Celeste and her neighbor Alisha. We'll see tho. Well there's not much else to tell. We buzzed our heads the other night...and Elder Power did mine with his one hand...it was funny. but we look smart. We watched the Testaments for sports night...haha. Alright that's all the news. Thanks!
