We had a blast this week. It started off pretty tough though. I had
this horrible runny nose which is still persisting today. I have gotten
up a few times just writing this email to blow my nose. On Monday we
had a Zone P-day and played Mario Cart Balloons where we tied three
balloons around our ankles and tried to kill eachother... I mean pop the
other missionaries balloons. I had a killer headache and so I had this
other missionary hand me like 3 ibpros and 2 advils. I think they may
have been trying to kill me.
We also were able
to hid from all the others that we had made two cheesecakes that
morning. Elder Farnsworth made a Peanut Butter Oreo cheesecake and I
made a Chocolate Marble Cheesecake with Strawberry filling and Chocolate
fudge on the top.
Tuesday we took them to our
District meeting where we also had our mission president, President
Winder, and his wife there to have interviews with us. Needless to say
they really enjoyed it. So did we and our District. Later that night we
taught some investigators that a member had been working with for the
past 4 months or so and they agreed to be baptized. Now we just have to
set a date.
On Wednesday we had a new
missionary training meeting for Elder Farnsworth. They gave us some
really great ideas on how we can better do street contacting which we
have turned into tracting. Well contacting names that missionaries left
behind. The reason I say names is because they had two full sheets of
names and addresses with no information. So that is a bit annoying. But
hey we have had a great time getting the door approach down.
Later
in the week we had a non-member give us casserol, a European squash,
some apples, and some baked potatoes. It was great. I am not sure how
interested they are in hearing the message we have to share but they do
love the missionaries. I have found that there are really two kinds of
people up here. Those who hate missionaries (not just LDS ones but any),
and those who think it is really neat that we are out here serving the
Lord. There might be a small minority of people who really don't care
what we are doing.
Other than that we really didn't have much else happen this week.
Love,
Elder McCallson
