on thursday we had a meeting at the church with the zone and as we were leaving me and my comp went to the bus stop with two other elders and as we were walking this drunk guy with bandages wrapped around his head, thats super swollen, starts yelling HEY MORMONS TALK TO ME ABOUT GOD! and starts throwing little rocks at us haha so we start walking a little faster thinking he'd just stop ( this happens a lot and we walk away and the normally stop) but then he starts running at as haha! so we take off into the city and i look back after a minute and hes on the floor. so like a bunch of missionarys we come walking back to see if he needs help haha well he gets back up and starts chasing us so we took off until we lost him in the middle if the city and took a bus to our houses! crazy stuff! it was funny cuz everyone was just looking at us like "why are these mormons running for?" haha
on friday we had an activity with the youth and we played minute to win it with them and the zone leaders chose a sister missionary who has less than a year , a sister missionary who went to copper hills who was less active most her life and me ( that mormon kid whos been a member his whole life and never went less active ) to share our testimonys about our conversion ! i talked about how even though i was born in the church i had to still be converted, i was just blessed cuz i never had to talk to missionarys i just had awesome parents who taught me to do the right and know for myself. i was a little nervous but i think they understood.
on sunday we shot a reenactment of a nephite laminite war with the elders and high priests on the beach haha. it was crazy cuz we were using real machetes haha we did it for a activity for this sat and i also have to be oliver cowdry! ill tell you guys more next week!
