Warning- if you have a weak stomach, don't read this.
I'm serious.
Ok so on Friday morning, I had the flu so I was laying in bed. at about 9.00 am my companion brought me apple juice in a thermos. It was such a nice gesture!
Well I was drinking this juice and it tasted SO funny- but I didn't want to say anything because she had just been so nice and made it for me- I felt a few chunks go down but I just assumed that she hadn't mixed the juice all the way..
Finally, at like 10.00 am I couldn't take it anymore- The juice tasted SO weird and these chunks tasted weird too! I opened up the thermos lid....
there were a bunch of little black pellets.
yep.
yep.
yep, your daughter ate/drank mouse poop.
My companion and I were DYING of laughter- it was so gross but so funny! (I will send the video soon) We called our Zone Leaders because we didn't know what we were supposed to do!
who the freak eats mouse poop?!
They laughed......and laughed....
they had no clue what to do either so they just told us to call our Mission Presidents wife- we did and she laughed... and laughed.... and then told us she would Google it to see what we needed to do.
She called us back and listed off all these diseases I may contract.. awesome. She also told us about how she contacted poison control and they said that I may just get food poisoning within the next few hours.
sure enough- about 4 hours later, I was reunited with last nights dinner.
I haven't gone to a doctor yet, I feel fine- but if I start to feel gross again then I'll have to go get tested. oh man it will be so awkward if I have to tell a doctor that I ate mouse poop.
Anywho- that's exciting.
But more importantly- we had tiffany's baptism on Thursday!
(oh and I forgot to tell you last week, that last saturday was Tabby's baptism!!!!)
Bam I have only been out for 3 weeks and already the Lord has prepared 2 people for my comp and I to baptize!
Both Baptisms were AMAZING!!!! I will send pics on a cd later.
I swear I never have time for anything! even on our P-days, we are running around like chickens trying to get everything done! but holy smokes i LOVE getting letters and emails from everyone telling me about how THEY are doing! It's so awesome to hear! cute Tina wrote a letter and had her kids draw pictures on it! it was the cutest thing ever to get in the mail! I have received loads of letters and I really am so grateful for each and every one! I apologize if I haven't written back yet, the Lord has blessed us with so many investigators that I never have time too!
So two weeks ago, we tracted into a guy named Dwayne. Dwayne is a math & science genius. He has some very interesting views on God and Jesus, and even more interesting views on the Holy Ghost. He believes in Galactic Forces and Cosmic Forces.... aka he makes my brain hurt.
We started teaching him and even committed him to read the book of Mormon. It's so funny cuz I honestly don't even know what he is talking about 1/2 the time, but the spirit always whispers things I need to say or it reminds me of something I learned in science back in high school- oh man, that Holy Ghost is one awesome man.
Anywho- on our 2nd visit with Dwayne, I committed him to baptism. He said yes and we planned it all out.
on our 3rd visit with Dwayne, he asked "so how many times can I be baptized in the mormon church?"
Me- ..."dwayne? why do you ask this?"
Dwayne- "well I've been baptized 3 times now..."
Me- "in our church?"
Dwayne- "yeah, but by two men, not women"
What the heck right?! turns out (after TONS of research) Dwayne has changed his name multiple times- it just so also happens to turn out that Dwayne is Schizophrenic (I have no clue how to spell that).
So "Dwayne" is also "michael" "benjamin" and "Derek"
oh yes... this is real.
He came to church with us yesterday and had a freak out in the middle of sunday school- we tried to calm him down but he ended up leaving church and just walking home.
oh man- missionary life is crazy.
Oh by the way- I spoke in Sacrament yesterday! My topic was "how the gospel changes people" I shared in Mosiah 27 about Alma the Younger and about how he was evil and after much prayer from his father, he was then visited by an angel and told to knock it off- he was then struck dumb. (I would finish the story, but it would be way cooler if you did)
so everyone should ready Mosiah 27 on their own! then go read Alma 36 (it's Alma the younger telling his experience to his sons later on in life)
I then went on to talk about how the gospel changes people- it was cool cuz I was able to use friends/family experiences that I have seen in my life. I then bore testimony. man I do not like speaking in sacrament, however- it is so rewarding to be able to get up and share what you have learned as well as to publicly give thanks and bear testimony to everyone.
In case you don't know it, in case you are questioning it... The church is true.
It is truly reconfirmed to me every day! Just give up fighting it, give up sinning! haha the church is true! just face it!
I hope you all have a lovely week and I will email soon!
