Week 70

And hello friends!

 

I just talk to you! So thats fun!

 

Well, its been a good week, but a weird week...

Monday I went to my old stomping grounds at the Shreveport stake center, (My ward building when I served in Shreveport) and had some good times there with the rest of the zone for Pday, not a signal person in the zone is left from when I was here last, so ALL new faces, I already knew a few, but some I had never met, though, everyone in Shreveport seems to know me.... odd...

 

Christmas morning we went to a members house to visit for a bit, and when we pulled up we noticed a house down the street had the police tape all around it, and there were a bunch of news crews there, odd.. So we asked the members if they knew what was going on, and they had no idea that was ever out there, so we all went out and went all rubber neck! We just kinda watched for a while, it didn't seem like anything was going on, there was one cop car, but there was also a detective out in the yard, so it was something! AND THEN WE SAW THE CORONER VAN! As it backed up to the house, at this point the members sent their younger ones back inside, good choice, cause before long came the body... huh, kinda creepy, the member wife was like "ITS TIME TO MOVE!" I said, well it could have just been natural causes.. But then things got real weird as the members explained to us that the house had been vacant for months! OH!!! Ok yeah, that's creepy! It didn't end there, cause after the guys carted the body to the van and got it in, they went back in.. and left the van doors open, ANOTHER!!?? Yep, before long body number two came out. ahhh, this just got real awkward. That was the last of the dead folk, and the "party" was over, one of the news guys walked by us and looked at us with a depressed kind of face and mumbled in a very sarcastic voice "Happy holidays.."  I thought it was kinda funny and let out a quick HA! and then thought that was probably in bad taste and shut up real fast!    Turns out there was some dude and women in there camping out, they heated the house with a generator.. They had it in the house... All windows closed and doors shut.. That will kill you every time, its like its like sitting in a garage with the car on, poor idea.

SO THAT'S HOW MY CHRISTMAS STARTED! I feel like it was all up hill from there though!

We had a wonderful Christmas lunch with the Bishop and his wife and a few other lonely members, and was great time!

Then we went to our favorite family the Glass family to skype! And well, that is always a good time! Loved talking with Y'all!

 

Saturday we had interviews with President.. again.. BUT IT WAS GOOD! It's always good.

OH! We also had a baptism! haha, young man named Andrew Wilcox, good guy, I only taught him one lesson, he had already been taught everything but the law of chastity... I don't understand why missionaries always save that one for last..

 

Sunday I gave a talk, I went last, and the Bishops wife went first, and talked for a good 35 minutes, leaving me like 8, I am good at making my talks longer then I planned, but when I only had a few minutes, I had no idea what of all the stuff I was going to talk on to use, so it was kinda rocky, or so I thought, a few people liked it a lot, so that will work, I did use a Ski analogy for the second time in a row, those are always good.

OH! ahh, so in the program, It had me talking, but between me and Bishops wife they had down that there would be a musical number, normal, but this was was a bit odd, for a few reasons, ONE! Its said piano solo, and then had two names.. How does that work? And then there were the two names, Elder Rose, my comp, and Elder Thomas, Who? First of all, Elder Rose had never heard anything about this, and there Elder Thomas? There is one in the mission, but he has never served here, nor is he anywhere near here.. No one we talked to about it had any idea why that was there, haha, this ward...

 

WELP!

This is was WAY to long!

LOVE ALWAYS!

LOVE!!!

Elder CamCam Martin!
