Transfer 9 Week 3

So this week went by pretty fast. Last Monday night we went out and talked to this one guy named Shaquil for a while. He wasn't too interested in hearing from us, yet talked to us for like an hour at his door. He was smoking and playing video games right when we got there and it made us laugh. We enjoyed talking to him but he said some real interesting stuff. 

We also met another guy this week, Johnny; he was a character as well. He had us help him move some stuff in his apartment and stick some stuff in his safe to keep it protected from robbers. Pretty funny. They were boxes of old coins. He gave us some bottles of protein shakes which made me laugh too hahaha. He also said he fell on his hip a couple of weeks ago and it's been bugging him ever since but hasn't seen a doctor about it yet. 

We've also been working with members of our ward to go out and do some work with us recently. They have been a big help. 

Also something funny happened today. We were asked by some Elders to pick up their bikes from the mission office to get repaired. We got to their apartment and they weren't there and the door to the apartment was locked. So we went around back of their apartment building and I jumped up and climbed up to their balcony and the door on the back was unlocked. So I went in and unlocked it and we laughed cause right over the fence was a school and the kids were out for recess and probably saw me breaking in. Pretty funny. 

We also had a big meeting this week for the leaders and they fed us pizza during the middle of it. I ate a lot. But we talked about some really cool stuff and President Johnson inspired me and really touched me with his testimony of the Book of Mormon. He is a very spiritually powerful man. We are lucky to have him as our mission President. 

Oh another funny story from me breaking in somewhere today. We were in the parking lot at the mission office and throwing a frisbee, and I accidentally threw it over a fence and it went down like a three foot window well. So I see there's a gap in the fence and run around and get it. Right as I get in their backyard our Mission President and his wife Sister Johnson pull into the parking lot, see me, roll down the window and asked what the heck I was doing. I told them and they just laughed at me. I retrieved it and eventually went and apologized to the house owners and they said they had no clue but that it was fine. 

Well I have to head out now, but I want to let you all know that I love you, but more importantly God and Christ love you. Speaking of which, here is one of my all time favorite verses

John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

-Elder Golden
