Week 81

So my first week here has been quite the week, painful knees, flat tires, bike crashes, random meeting of members from Utah, RAIN! Blessings, white supremacy flags, hot, cold, a sister missionary going to the ER. a swarm of young women exited to meet the best looking Elder they have seen in years! Just to name a few of the things that happened this week.

Day one we biked, AND IT HURT! More then ever before! I could not even sleep that night! But it was gotten much better sinse then.

Our area is small, so that's a thing, not a whole lot to do, and we DON'T EVEN LIVE in our area! So we have to bike like 2 miles just to get there.

We have this Less Active guy, he is like a real life Clint Eastwood! He is a white guy that lives in the hood but takes no.... How does a missionary say this... flack? from anyone!

I have helped my comp who has been here for months discover that there are better ways to and from our area! And that we have more area then he thought...

We SAW JACE ROBERTSON! The fun son! IT WAS SO COOL! You all need to pray that the Lord will give me a second chance with that, 'cause we didn't talk to him at all! He was busy taking pictures with people.. Lame! We still should have said something, I WILL CONVERT THAT FAMILY!

I met the craziest person in the history of the WORLD! She was once a member and the missionaries talk to her from time to time, My comp brought me to meet her... One of the first things she said to me is, "I'm a witch.." Ok, that's cool, She was wearing a pentagram on around her neck... this email is getting red listed for SURE! 

Anyhow, she told us all about how people from mars came to this earth 'cause their planet was dying.. Cause they forgot how to love, and NOW they are the rulers of the world, And they are the ones that made the pyramids... And something about how there were 8 Presidents before Washington, which, kinda true, but I will let you look into that, but she said that "they" covered that up! So I asked, why? how would covering up that there were governmental leaders before Washington do anyone any good? She had no real answer for that! Other then "THEY DON'T WANT US TO KNOW!!" Oh! Right, why didn't I think of that? She also asked one of those "HOW BOUT THIS ONE!" Questions, thought she would stump me, She asked, "If we were created in Gods image, where did dinosaurs come from? " What? I guess she feels she always stumps the missionaries with that one, I think they just don't know how to answer a question that's not really a question.. I told her the same place Lions came from.

She was nuts! Lived in a trailer park, with all the other crazy people. 

One of the hardest times I have ever had not laughing when someone is telling me what they believe.

That night we got a call that Sister White, one of my Sister Missionaries, needed a blessing, found that odd, cause we saw her 2 hours earlier and she was fine, but I guess this crazy stomach bug thing came and came quick! She was throwing up all over the place! SO! We gave her a blessing, and went on our way, Then at 12:30 AM I get a call! From the sisters! They had tried to call the Mission pres AND his wife, which is what they are supposed to do before going to the hospital, but they could not get a hold of them, SO THEY CALLED ME! And that's fine, they asked if they could go to the ER, Sister White was throwing up still and now there was blood, I said GO! I think they only called me so that if they got in trouble for going with out permission (which would NOT have happened) I would be to blame, not them.. ANYHOW! She is doing much better now, poor thing!

We were out biking about one night, and it started to rain! So I said, lets go eat at taco bell. Maybe the rain will die down, NOPE! Got worse, BUT THE LORD WAS LOOKING OUT FOR US!!

As we were eating, this guy comes and sits by us and calls us Elders! When someone does that you know they are Members, He told us he was here on business and from Utah, And HE served in this mission 15 years ago! COOL! Anyhow, he gave us a ride home! SO THAT WAS GREAT!

Yesterday we had interviews with the President, on our way how to get ready for that, I noticed my brakes where not working very well... SO I was in a hurry to get home to fix that, (they still don't work) When crossing a street, I did not just go straight across I instead cut the corner and went into on coming traffic, when the traffic got close I decided it was time to get on to the side walk, my bike, was thinking otherwise! The difference in opinion mixed with the oncoming cars  resulted in a catastrophic event!! My near death! SOMEHOW! I ended up in a parking lot... My bike was with me, but turned to the side that I did NOT fall, not sure how it all happened, newton's laws tell me it didn't happen at all! BUT I KNOW MY TRUTH! 

My hand took most of the blow of the fall, luckily I was wearing gloves cause it was cold, they saved me! My hands would have been shredded if I was not wearing them!

WELP! I will have to tell you about the other stuff next time cause I'm out of time! 

MUCH LOVE!
Elder CamCam Martin!
