but this week has been pretty good, we spoke in 2 sacrament meetings
this week and all i did was pretty much speak on member missionary
work. it always seems that is always what i speak about...but i guess
that is because i am a missionary, but we have our
investigator, clara getting ready to be baptized this upcoming
saturday and we are really excited for that. but anyways she and her
husband tyler are awesome, i love them, i can honestly see myself
hanging out with them after the mission, but anyways  yesterday was
halloween and we had the night off, and so we got together as a zone
and we like spent the night playing pool at somebody's  home and we
watched the movie 17 miracles. 


but anyways nothing really cool happened this week, other than that we
started teaching this dude in this nursing home named sam, he is
really cool. he actually has quite a story of his life where he was
working at 7-11 and that some dude stabbed him with an ice pick in his
ear and then the guy just decided to stab him in his other ear... but
that happened like back in the 70's and kind of messed his head up,
but anyways he is so prepared to be baptized, he has actually been
going to the branch in the nursing home for a while and actually just
needs to hear the lessons to be baptized! so anyways we set a
baptismal date for him on the 19th and we actually met with him
yesterday and he already has someone planned for him to baptize him!
so we are super excited for that, but anyways when we were in the
nursing home we talked to this dude because he wanted to start talking
to us, and so there was this wall of all the people in the home, and
he was pointing us his picture and  there was a picture of this lady
who had a dog, and so i asked him if they were allowed to have their
dogs live with them and then he went on about how he had been married
for like 60 years and then i asked him again if they were allowed to
have dogs, and then he was like we have 19 great grand children and so
i was like ohh! that is cool, so are you guys allowed to have dogs?
and then he like didn't even answer my question and was like ahhh (old
man sigh)... but anyways when i walk in that place it just reminds me
of the happy gilmore nursing home.
