Something Cool

This week was fun, last Monday we played ball with the District, it was pretty good ball. But the Zone leaders don’t come every week so today we didn’t have very good ball, kind of a bummer.

Tuesday we did service for a really cool/funny member. After, he played us in pool and foosball in his man cave! He is really good at pool, and thinks he is really good at foosball. But this week I’m gonna show him a thing or two! haha He is one of those guys that used to play pool, foosball, air hockey, darts and what not for a living! Pretty cool. I’ll keep you updated haha

Wednesday we did a triple blitz in our area, so two other companionships came and we hit our area hard! It was fun, I went with Elder Dunford and he is from San Diego, so we had fun talking about that haha. We went to Eldora, Iowa it’s 40 minutes from Marshall Town but is a nice little town out in the middle of nowhere. The people were super nice but nobody wanted to listen. That night we hunted some possums with golf clubs in our back yard, because there is a ton of them! We got one tree'd but never got it down haha. And we thought we found another one, so we ran after it but it was a skunk so we ran back! I wasn't about to get sprayed!

The rest of the week we had District meeting and the car appreciation day where we walk all day long. Luckily it hasn't been hot here at all! Which is crazy for the middle of August out here. So we talked to a lot of people. We got dropped off by a member one day to go by someone and right when we got out a guy from the 2nd story of an apartment building was yelling "come here come here quick!" And we were like is he talking to us? haha So we went and the guy was pretty Psycho and talking super fast and running around putting clothes on and cleaning up his house. And he yelled I’m a returned missionary! Long story short he got excommunicated for some reason. Probably cause our WML said he got caught growing weed on his front porch and who knows what. He is pretty creepy, but I mentioned my dad served in the same mission he did and around the same time. So he freaked out trying to think if he new my dad. Then we left and were at the library taking mormon.org time and he walked in and said "there they are!" haha and came and talked to us and said he had an Elder Anderson as his companion but he wasn't sure if it was the same one. But he said he was going crazy and riding his bike everywhere to find us and doing research to see if he knew him. Haha Im sure we will run into him again so we will see what happens!

Anyways we have some great investigators, not as many as I would like, so hopefully we can change that this week. One of them is Jessi Gobble, her husband is a member but very inactive and is a drug addict. He is in a halfway house, so like half jail I think. haha He isn't a very good man idk why she is with him, but his parents are active members and that’s how they found Jessie and we have been teaching her with the Dunns, a senior couple that works in Marshall town also, so she is on date to be Baptized Sept 2nd.

Also we have Luiz who is dating a member that lives in Honduras and he just got back from visiting her, so he should be getting baptized soon also!

Sorry this is so long, I don’t have pictures this week!  Love you all!  Keep praying and going to church!

Love, Elder Anderson
