Oh
man it was healthy to hear from all of you! thank you! Ella I am so
excited about your MMA training I don't even know what gym your at or
how many people you are training with (which is important, because of
the quality of the learning is effected accordingly). Do they teach you
submissions or are they teaching you just the stand up and when
grappling the ground and pound style? Oh man you better learn quick
because I really get neglected out here because no one wants to fight me
=(. I even brought my mouth guard and boxing raps...
I
am not going to lie this week was a week... Our teaching pool took a
beating, all of our lessons canceled on us before we could teach any
one. All we really had to do was pound the pavement and pound the doors.
Door knockin for days! And all we really got was a few potentials, but
some seem promising. All of our lessons but 2 was from door knocking I
really could leave it at that for this week.
While
we were out door knocking we walked by a ice cream joint and you are
only in Michigan once, YOMO you know so we got some Ice cream and tried
to fellow ship with a lot of people. Man it was so funny this lady keep
looking over her shoulder to see us and was super obvious about it and
before we walked away to keep knockin she came up and she ITL'd us!
(invitation to learn) She gave us a business card that had a picture of
her and her information and said she would love to see us at a certain
coffee shop. It was so funny! But she obviously didn't want to learn
about the gospel so, I don't think she intends for us to teach her a
lesson at the coffee shop so we didn't commit to anything.
But
it's so cool now because Elder Hartley basically understands how to
create a need while trying to find people to teach and so I have been
working on things like bearing testimony and discerning their real need
instead of talking the whole time to find it. We sent out like 3
referrals this week from it.
So that little
taste of me riding bikes was awesome and we both have been dying to ride
some more but we didn't want to have to ride the same ones that we
borrowed last time. So we talked to the ward mission leader and he knew
just the place to go. We got permission to go and so we went over to MSU
campus and went to the MSU surplus store! It was freaking number one!
It was like GoodWill on steroids! They had all of this Lab equipment
that was out dated for sale, they had loads of computers for cheep, they
had a billion and a half mini fridges and chairs, foot ball jerseys and
pants, But the part we went there for was the fact that every bike that
gets left locked to something way to long gets it's lock cut and they
sell the bikes there. There was a lot of Gander bikes that was eaten
away by rust and the chains were frozen solid by it. But it was sweet! I
got a mountain bike my size with new breaks front and back, all of the
gears work, it has a big seat way comfier than our tandem bike seats
(and those are good), it had a water bottle holder, both tubes were
good, and it wasn't even rusty. All for 25 bucks! UMMMM YES PLEASE!!!
Church is true with a find like that! My companion got this sweet
oldschool road bike that has front and back head lights and had a
generator on the bike that you could flip on so when you spin your
wheels it powers the lights! perfect condition and all gears work,
bottle holder, and switches all gears. The only thing with that one was
one of the tubes were popped, but that's a small price to pay for only
60 bucks for the thin! We are so excited to go ride our bikes! I even
scored a bike lock recently after a member said if I could pick it I
could have it, 2 minutes later it went in the satchel =p.
Our
apartment complex has been infested by ear wigs, spiders, and
occasionally Ants of unusual sizes! It is so gross! And because of the
dire circumstances there arose a need for a hero to rise up, I am not
the Hero Holt needs, but the one it deserves (I forget how batman says
it). I have taken to grabbing my PVC pipe and nerf darts to fend off the
terrorist attacks. After one is spotted there is normally a sudden
shriek "NIIIIIIIIGHT EEEEEEEEEEEYYYEEE!!!!!" which is normally followed
by the spraying of honey nut gas (freeze) and a endless barrage of nerf
darts until we have a confirmed kill and several tries of running/
jump/ dive shots. I have just started to film the combat situations, I
wish I had thought of it before, I already have like 13+ tallies on the
blow gun and I only started counting yesterday.
Well were off to go play some ultimate Frisbee,
we'll catch you later
Bye I love you have a good day
Don't get shot!
NIIIIIIIIGHT EEEEEEEEEEEYYYEEE!!!!!
