What is up YALL, I'm coming to you all from the great town of ELWOOD Indiana!!! Its pretty lit out here I gotta say. Might not be that many people and might be the smallest town I have ever been to in my life BUT it is still sick and I love it. The church is true everywhere you go! The little branch I am serving in is small, but it has some great members in it. This past week had been fairly busy which is good. We have been able to have a decent amount of teaching appointments which is solid.
We have been meeting with this lady named Peggy. She is probably in her 60's and she is the nicest lady. She was open to hear what we had to say so we just jumped on that opportunity. This last Thursday we had the opportunity to sit down with her and teach her the Resto. Now before I go any further I have to explain that this lady does not speak that much, she is super quiet. When ever we ask her a question she mainly just replies with a simple "yes" and that is it. It is hard to get her to talk more than a couple words but I think that she is getting it and she believes what we are saying to be true. I was able to talk to her a little bit about baptism and the importance of it and vaguely asked if that was something that she would be interested in and of course she replied with the simple answer of "yes" But that's good! Next time we meet with her we plan to get her on date. She's a super nice lady though and we like meeting with her!
Alright Alright Alright...., your probably wondering what the heck the title of email is all about. I can explain...dont worry I'm not that JACK of a missionary. Lolz. So there is this guy that the previous missionaries have been teaching for over a year now. His name is Bryan Z. but he goes by BZ. He is a super cool guy and he reminds me of Dale C.(a guy I taught in my last area). For starters I hadn't even met this guy yet. My companion had but he wasn't with me... I was with another Elder that was fresh from the MTC and I was taking him under my wing in the area. So obviously neither of us knew what we were going into haha. But anyway back to the story, we are welcomed in by BZ and we just talk for a little bit and get to know him. He's a super chill guy and has lived a pretty dope life. Now I feel like everyone out here in Indiana freaking is obsessed with there cigs. Everyone loves there cigs. It's really annoying. But yeah that's an addiction that we will help him get over. But we just talk with him for a little bit and then he asks us if we want to go into his garage and chill out there. So we were like sure, why not. By the way he's got a pretty sick garage. It's a dope man cave. But we sit down in the garage in some lawn chairs and just get to know him and talk to him. Of course the whole time he is smoking so it begins to get a little smokey in there. No fan, no nothin. It was gettin' rough. But that's not all... he then pulls out this little baggy from his pocket and of course what is it?? Yep you guessed it, some good ol mary jane. I was just thinking in my head, he's not gonna light that up in front of us? Right? Nahh fam I was mistaken. He sure did. He just began to smoke it and blow some fat clouds and the smoke was gettin heavy. It was a lot of weed haha. I just got up and said to BZ, you mind if I use your restroom? And he just said yeah go right ahead, I needed some air or I was about to die haha. I forgot about the greenie though, poor guy I just left him in there to fend for himself haha. But I just left the room to get some air then I came back and told BZ that we needed to get going. So yeah, then we just left and told him we'll be back next week and that we would read from the book of mormon with him and he was okay with that and is excited for us to come back. So yeah we'll being going back there this wednesday haha. Hopefully not to get hot boxed again.
But yeah that was about the highlight of the week I gotta say. Pretty funny. Oh besides me bowling 145 today, hahahaha I was pretty proud of myself for that. Anyway I'll see yall next week with maybe another wild adventure.
Love you all, and dont forget to SEND IT FOR THE LORD
