16th Letter!!

Hey everyone! haha

This past week has been a trip! that's for sure!! we washed our car this last week and it flooded our trunk... so that sucks! we had to throw some stuff away... I officially suck at role plays! like for realsy! like in front of other missionaries i should say. i choke up and freeze! its like when i have to give a talk, i freeze and blurt things out! so embarrassing! blaah! this week was also a LONG week. :P but when im looking back on it, a ton of stuff happened!! first of all, i just want to let all yall know that our investigator Freddrick Walker picked his own BCD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOHOOOO! june 18!! its a tuesday. so its a wee bit different but HE picked it himself! its his moms birthday! Cute huh!! Freddrick is 33 has dreads and lives in a neighborhood that hates us! he is a cook too! oh my he is so awesome I LOVE HIM! he has had such a Hard Life! if any of yall are having moments of poor me. write me and ill tell you bout his life. CrAzY! But he wants to get baptized!! yayayayayyayayyyy!! he has come to church 5x and loves it! hahaha i love sitting next to him in church, he says the funniest things and makes the funniest faces! in gospel principals the ac turned on.(it makes an expolding noise when it turnes on.) and his face was scared! hahaha i busted up giggling. trying to be quiet but his face was priceless! Then we met this woman named Dorris. she was drunk when we met her and so she told us of her childhood and how right now she needs to change her life because she isnt worthy of Gods help. Ok first of all her childhood is traumatizing! never will i forget it... (shivers) so we went the next day to her house! she was sober, she remembered we were coming and had tried to read! she is so legit! she is 63 i believe! so many people down here dont look their age! its hard to give an estimate. but we're really good at getting close to their ages! but Dorris is so awesome! we're going over again on thursday! woop woop! Then one time this week we got a phone call from a woman in jacksonville, she needed help with something! someone gave her our number to call, she was crying and saying how she is about to live in the woods and has to have 2 more surgerys, etc. Woah! we were on the phone with her for 30 mins... longest phone call of our lives! so sad, we gave her info to the jacksonville missionaries, so hopefully they will find her and be able to teach her! but it was a shocker that phone call was. Then we had a lesson with a less active Mollie Dodd and she was crying during our whole lesson! we did all we could for her, (give her the gospel) it was really sad!! Ok then we have 3 gators named Dominique, jacoby and Bj! we went to go see them and only found jacoby but he was telling us how they were heroes! they saved 3 people from a burning house! he had a video of the house burning! it was crazy! there was like 5 people asleep in the house that didn't know it was on fire! they honked for a while then jumped in and woke them up and got them out! crazy right?? then the next day they were on the news! we know this because we called them to see if they'd be coming to church and he told us hahaa Heroes! crazy awesome crazy awesome!! alright one more story, so we went to go see a less active man named richard dean. he was a referral. his wife died 21 years ago and he turns 87 today actually!  he is the sweetest cutest old man ever! we called before hand and he said he'd be home all day! so we go, his house is adorable! its green and the sidewalk and driveway is blue, than he has gnomes everywhere! haha and he is building a fountain fish pool thing with a naked mermaid on top... awkward.. but! he was sleeping when we got there then we woke him up haha and sat outside! he was talking away! he lived a full life and can't complain because he loved his life! he is ready to die! he is just waiting for the Lord to call him lol. sweet old man! he helped get the first man around the world and to the moon! how cool is that!!!!!!!!!! then we were leaving and i shook his hand and he just pulled me in for a hug!... i had no idea what to do... so me and sis garten got hugged my an 87 yr old man. i was laughing sooo hard! what were we supposed to do! like there was no way to stop it! hahahhahaha sis garten felt real bad afterwards but i was just laughing! hhahahahahaha. oh my funny funny man! he is the cutest old man alive! and he is very active! his saying that I LOVE is as follows

"You have to be dumb, blind, and stupid to not believe and trust in the Lord. I aint stupid, a little dumb, and partially blind."

-Richard Dean
