Week 37

Shreveport is the BOMB.COM!

 

I love the city, and its not TO big either, only like 202thou! (that's slang for thousand!)

ANYHOW!

it was a good week, I drove to shreve with Elder Canaan, great guy! Elder Summsion, who, is super tall, and a new guy, who.. made me laugh..

it was a good trip, lots of trees... like everywhere else, just, trees.. so, much, trees! I am so sick of trees,

got to shreve, met my new dist, good guys, went to our pad, AND! its a town house.. I CANT DO STAIRS! not after a long day of knee burning! oh well, nothing can be perfect, and shreve almost is!

 

anyhow, there is this crazy girl that lives by the other elders, she is just in love with all kinds of missionaries, but is always saying FALSE PROPHETS! and the like, she craycray (as they would say it in the hood!) but the other day we were talking to her, and she was all like, "why would you even need another book, why would you want that?" so I used something I once learned form an old singles ward home teaching comp, and said "If God sent you a letter, what would you do with it?" she replied, giggling! "I WOULD READ IT!" I continued, "so, if he sent you a second letter, what would you do with that?" no answer, so I answered for her, "you would treat it just like the first" then she said, "see, my preacher told me you would try to confuse me!" good stuff, gotta love preachers,

 

Saturday, a member called us and asked us to help her move a tree that fell down near her house, little did I know, that the tree was BIGGER THEN HER HOUSE!! IT WAS HUGE! someone had already used a chain saw to cut it all up and such so it was movable, so when I went to the back yard all I could think was, 'HOW MANY TREES WERE THERE!' there was just one camcam, just one, we have like 7 guys moving it all, it took hours, and still didn't get 100% done,

 

sunday was SO different, first, there were MORMONS! I had not seen that many mormons in 9 months, so, it was crazy, also, not even a big ward, just more than 50 people is HUGE for me,

ALSO, they didn't even really acknowledge us, like, in my last to areas, a new missionary is big news, they always have them get up and give a short message on day one, here, we were not even introduced, it was very different,

 

hmm, OH, we play basketball! YEE!! I am so happy, every Monday and Saturday morn! not only do I get to do something i love, but I get to lose this CRAZY big belly I have found on myself!

 

WELP! that's all for now folks, keep on lovin!

LOVE

Elder CamCam Martin!
