It was a week...

Yep a full seven days. 168 hours. I'm really hyper today, so a good chance that half of this is not going to make sense. 

Monday- We totally went bowling. ECU has a deal on mondays, $1 games!!! (and played ping-pong apparently) We got pretty drenched while we were out biking. It was awesome. haha

Ping Pong is not my game

Tuesday- We were biking to do some service for one of our investigators, and my tire popped about 1 mile away. We once again got drenched. We saw Paul and Susan that night and had a supercalifragilisticexpialidocious (totally spelled that right) lesson. We took a member of the stake high council with us, and he is just a spiritual giant. He told them things that they needed to hear. Susan committed to be baptized when she was ready, but Paul of course did not. 

Pretty and wet

Wednesday- We had a lesson with a recent convert named Tommy. We're working on getting him ready to go do baptisms for the dead in October. After our lesson, he wanted us to go with him to Salvation Army. We had a lesson with Sister Hunt. She is just too golden. We taught her the Plan of Salvation, and she told us that everything we told her was spiritual confirmation for what she already knew. She also loved the way we presented it. With Love.

Thursday- Today was rough. All of our appointments cancelled and nobody wanted to talk to us. We did help a Sister in the 1st ward get some stuff moved.

Friday- Tonight was pretty crazy. A recent convert in our ward wants us to teach her son the lessons before his baptism (he's 8). We taught him the Restoration, and tied it into Football (I don't know how, but it worked). We went and saw Derrick Johnson and talked with him for a bit. On our way out, we got stopped by the cops. They were the drug force assigned to Derrick's neighborhood. They asked us what we were doing, and we told them we were missionaries. We were finally allowed to go, and one of them said "I really respect what you guys are doing, keep up the good work." It was pretty awesome.

Saturday- Sister Hunt committed to going to a baptism in Lil Washington (I'm so hood it's awesome haha). It's about a half hour drive. We were scrambling all day to try to find a ride, so we could go with her. We found one at the very last minute. Super miracle. She really enjoyed the baptism, which was super good.

Sunday- We gave the lesson in Gospel Principles during Sunday School. The lesson was on the law of chastity...so yeah. I refuse to disclose any further information about the lesson. We went out with a member to try and contact a less active on his home teaching route. We knocked on his door a couple of times, but no answer. We were writing him a note, and using a flashlight to help us see. As we were getting ready to leave, a screen door just slams open and this lady yells "Who are you, what do you want?" We told we were looking for her husband. She said he wasn't there, then she proceeded to wave a gun in front of us and said, "Don't do that!!! I saw someone shining a light through my door. I was ready to shoot someone." Pretty scary stuff. First time I've seen a gun on my mission, which is kind of surprising cause I work in the hood.

It was certainly an interesting 168 hours. Elder Zonts is super awesome. We are kindred spirits in a lot of ways. We basically blood brothers. Anyway, love you all. Excuse my hyperactivity. I don't know how to turn it off. Love you all. 

Love,

Elder (Doominator) Dumont
