Sweet! I’m glad the package arrived ileso. Let me know how the pics are received.
Oh, and I would like it to be publicly known that I made an effort to write a heartfelt letter to every sibling, and Jason is the only one to reply. Come one! JASON even replied! You know, the younger one of the family who gets on the family website once every leap year. I hate to say it, but you have all been burned by your youngest of kin.
Well done lad.
Back to the mission thang...
I think my favorite quote for the week was what Elder Wallace said in english classes. We teach the more advanced class and we were talking about vacations and so naturally we got on the topic of Disneyland. Elder Wallace made the comment, “Disneyland is the funnest with little kids...” then after a short pause, “and Elder Carr.” I am the oldest Ï have ever been (duh), and people still call me a child! Its okay, I will kill them later.
Oh yeah, I visited the coolest place last week: BABYLON! After we taught this atheist guy we were hanging out talking to the rest of his family and they thought we were cool (totally fooled ‘em) so they invited us to their daughters birthday party. She was turning 7. Totally harmless, right? WRONG! We walked into their apartment, and as any good host would do, they handed us some beers. I was super thirsty so busted them both down immediately. Ha, JK. They were shocked we werent accepting free beer, I mean, this was heineken for heaven’s sake, HEINEKEN! Their interest was peaked at this point. To fuel the fire, I am shameless, and even moreso around sinners, so I got to preached my first repentance sermon, Elder Carr style. It was cool, they all migrated to the door (since we just hung out right there, you know, easy escape in the case of stoning) to get a load of the show. One of my favorite little Dominican bombshells was there and she yelled out, “you dont even know what your missing!” and so i said, “your right, because none of you will be able to tell me about it since you wont remember a thing.” It was so much fun, but one of them actually asked if we would let them in to the church if they came on Sunday. Only if they were sober. We actually went back a couple days later and they said it was no fun after we left and invited us to the grandpa’s party next month. They even asked us what drinks we like so they could have something ready just for us. It was so sweet.
I know it is hard to believe, but we do actually do real missionary work. The other day we were stopping by an investigator but he wasnt answering his intercom. Some guy came walking by and since I say hi to everyone, i gave him a shout out. He stopped, thinking we were his friends. When he saw us he realized his mistake and asked if he knew us. Wrong move. We jumped him and now we are friends. We got to teach him and his son on Saturday and it was awesome. His kid is 10 years old and he is way sharp. I love how the parents learn more when their kids learn more. We pretty much taught everything to the kid. When we went to pick them up for church the kid showed us that he read what we had given him and he really liked it. The dad was blown away that his son was so into it, he hadnt even opened the book yet. I looked over in sacrament meeting and he was reading through what we had given him, and the best part, he had one of those “WOW” faces on. They are sweet. Their names are Angel and Angel. We will be going tonight it he gets home on time from work.
Well, things are good. I am healthy (one of the only missionaries who is not sick), happy (not too rare), and fightin’ hard.
Loves,
Elder Sky
