Ya'aat'eh!!
Got about 4 weeks left here in Cortez and I have a strong
feeling that Im leaving so we'll see what happens! I am gong to miss free Coldstone ice cream and Dairy Queen. We had one cool experience
this week and not much has happened other then that...but we were
wondering what to do for about 2 hours because our appointments canceled
on us one day, so we decided to go knock on this one door that we have
had a lot of news to stay away from! Well we drive over to the house
and kinda park in some bushes away from the windows and act like we were
walking all day. The wind was blowin about 35mph and it was
FREEEEZING! So we walk on up to this huge monster of a house and knock
on the door. Immediately the little yapper dogs go nuts as usual and
they made me want to kick them for their annoyingness. Anyways we were
expecting to get yelled at, cussed out, told we were a cult, ya know
all the good stuff but this man opened the door and he was very
nice....we kinda gave our little spiel and then he said oh man you guys
look freezing come on in! WHAT? we looked at each other like, this is
completely unexpected. We walk in and sit down and talk with him for
about 20 min about random stuff. Then we started talking about his
beliefs and whatnot, he literally said this...." I've been to a lot of
churches and they have all rejected me and told me im crazy for this
theory that Ive come up with over the years....that we lived with God
before we were here on earth, and that this life is a testing grounds,
and then we go back home to him" wow.....didnt see that comin. So i
whipped out my plan of salvation puzzle and we all talked about that for
awhile. Good stuff, but his wife didnt want to see us again. We gave
him a plan of salvation pamphlet and wrote our number on the back of it
hopnig he will call back sometime.
Yes we made chili with some of our investigators last week and
entered into the 3rd wards chili cook off! We thought we did alright
going into the contest. We get a call the day of the contest from the
Elders quorum President asking us to be Judges for the
Contest!!!....because that way if there are any hard feelings they wont
be taken out on any of the ward members, so we are just punching bags
for everyone else to beat on i guess, which is ok. But ya..no, we didnt
cheat and choose our own chili! Actually, our chili was the worst of
all 20 of them. It was terrible haha. The winner was this awesome
sweet chili that had barbeque sauce and bacon and maple syrup in it.
They won me over with just the bacon. But ya we weren't beaten or yelled
at to much but it was good!
Relanda came to church last week and was confirmed a member! so that's all good now. Glad we got that taken care of.
Heres a random thought that I learned about....(WELCOME) Means "We.Especially.Love.Cussing.
