This week has been a very interesting week. As for business, I received the prescription and should only have to go one more week without glasses, which is good. The pants should work, I really hope that they aren't too big. The ones I have now are perfect size. Anyways, I think that's all for business.
As for this week, let's start out with Tuesday. I had Zone Conference this week so we had that on Tuesday. We had a training in Spanish for the first time, which was really interesting. We played a game where you have to get an oreo from your head to your mouth without touching it with anything but face muscles.
Then on Wednesday we had a pretty regular day. The only interesting thing that happened was that night, when my companion was at an missionary coordination meeting, so I was visiting people with a member. The member ended up playing chess with a investigator kid, which was pretty funny.
Thursday was a pretty good day as well. We had an appointment with an investigator that night where we helped wash her car and then feed these tiny baby kittens with the things you use to put shots in people. That was very interesting.
On Friday night, we had a pretty great night as well and this is where my title comes from. We went to teach these kids and their mom. We are trying to help the mom to open up to us more about everything that is going on with her, but we love to play with her kids, so we were playing games with them like freeze tag and some other things and then this kid turns on his hose and they started filling up water bottles and throwing water on us, So we got them back by putting him under the hose and soaking him... He wasn't about to let us get the last laugh so he started throwing mud at us, haha. It really was a crazy night. Hopefully it helps the lady open up a little more now that she knows we are really just a bunch of fun kids.
Saturday was just a regular day.We tried some people that we want to teach because we are looking for a lot of new people right now and then we had a pretty regular night on the bikes.
Sunday was a good day as well. We had church which is always good. I woke up a little sick that day and so I was worried I was going to get something bad but I blasted it with all kinds of medicines and remedies and I think I am not gonna end up getting any worse then I was Sunday morning. We had a really great lesson with a new family that night which was cool. He gave us some plants, then we talked to this guy on the corner where we live who was watering his lawn.
Today one of the members took me and this other missionary to Fresno to play sports with a whole bunch of missionaries I don't know. It has been okay pretty far, but everyone left a little while ago so me and him are just chilling in the gym. I got to have Wendy's for the first time in 5 months!
Anyways, this week has been pretty great. As for a short gospel lesson, I started really studying the Book of Mormon this week and I have gotten through the beginning chapters of first Nephi. This is the second full read-through so far on my mission, and it really is exciting. I cannot begin to describe the power that the Book of Mormon has and the importance that it should have in each and every one of our lives. The gospel is true and I am so blessed to have the opportunity to serve a mission. Don't every forget the love that our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ have for each and every one of you! I love you all!
Love,
Elder Murray
