We went to 5 guys, and we had a
"surprise" party for him. The reason why “surprise” is in quotations
is because it was crazy! Basically, the plan was to go to 5 guys on his
birthday after district meeting. Right
after district meeting, Elder Scorrato (one of the zone leaders) pulled me
aside and told me that the Agardy's had a surprise lunch planned for him. So I
was like great! When are they expecting us? And he said "now”! “So you need to find a way to get Elder
Bradley to Danielle's (one of our recent converts) house."
Oh dang...... How am I going to
sidetrack Elder Bradley from 5 guys? So I lied... Yes missionaries do lie
sometimes too.... ha-ha. I pretended to
get on the phone and then I walked away! After awhile I came back and told
Elder Bradley we had to go to Danielle's to help her with something, of course
the answer was yes. But as we were driving he was going to turn (to go to 5
guys) instead of going straight to get to Danielles. I told him not to turn; we had to go to
Danielle's! He was like, "Wait, now?! We are going to 5 guys can't it
wait?" Oh he was angry! Ha-ha. This
would not be the first time that I told people we could do something that we
really had no time for! And, to make it
even better, when we got to Danielle's........No one was there! Ha-ha. Only Danielle! So the two of us and the other
missionaries went into the other room to play pool. Of course we had to tell
him what was going on and that everyone was coming.
Everyone did show up soon after! The
Agardy's, the Belnaps, the Flores' and most of the zone! It was super fun! We
had an amazing lunch and everything was awesome! We also had institute that
night and Danielle came with us for her first time! It was a great lesson and
it was funny that it seemed to go with exactly what we had been learning about
lately! It's cool how that happens!
Last night we had Family Home Evening with the YSA and we
had Christmas in July.....meaning we make cookies, decorated them and then
went caroling to people in the ward! Yes, that was interesting! People were
pretty shocked when they opened the door! Ha-ha. It was really fun though! We had some good
time to chat with some of the members and they are beginning to really like the
two of us.....but really....who wouldn't?!! Ha-ha. It is good! We got to know a non-member that
was there last night pretty well! Hopefully we can see him again sometime! Last
week we actually had FHE with Danielle and her brother and mom, both
non-members! It was fantastic! We had a great dinner then gave a short lesson
in which they were really involved! I really like that family!
Well that will be it for now!
Take Luck!
