That is not good about the rain. It rains so much here. I think that Al Gore was kinda right in the sense that the climate is getting pretty funky nowadays. They say that usually around this time of year there's a lot of snow everywhere, but now its just really cold and rainy.
So the lady who committed to be baptized did not come to church on Sunday, which complicates things a lot. She has been to church plenty of times, but that is where we teach her. She lives in a city called C****** which is a train ride a way and its just a pain to get out there and we have to teach her with somebody because shes a girl. So coordinating it all is pretty hard. The baptismal date is still fixed for the 18th, but we're going to be coming in pretty hot. Kinda like when Anakin crash landed that huge shapeship in Episode 3. So pray for that.
The ward treats us ok, but I think we might have accidentally drove our ward mission leader insane/inactive. like.. he stormed out of church and didnt come back. We're kind of worried. He wanted the ward mission goal to be 60 for next year. There was 1 this year. Two weeks ago I asked him if he spoke english (just trying to make conversation) and he straight screamed at me about how we were called to preach the gospel in french so he has no reason to speak english to missionaries. It was pretty horrible.
So for New Years the ward had a Christmas party, but we werent invited because they were going to get too crazy. So we just sat around and then went to a park and played basketball. We were having troubles finding one because it was night and we were just running around block to block. So I asked a man if there was a court and he said, "yeah follow me". So we followed him to a court and there were no lights, but we played anyways. As soon as I took off my hoodie, it started pouring wind and rain, but we didnt stop. And then the same man came out and said HAPPY NEW YEAR and gave us a big bottle of champagne. We were like... no. but he set it on the bench and walked away. We won. We also played on the 1st.
So on the 1st, the oldest lady in the ward invited us over to eat oysters with her. Oysters are not even a little bit good. And before you eat them, you spray juice on them to see if they're still alive and then you are supposed to swallow them whole. I was not down to have living animals inside of my stomach, so I didnt test if they were alive, and then violently chewed them. I wanted them dead. She made fun of me a lot, but I killed them all and they tasted so bad! They were squirty and salty and dirty and she also made us turkey and truffles.
So this week was kind of dead because of the 2 holidays.
The big sales actually start this Wednesday, but as they go on the sales get better, but also, the supply runs out. So its pretty delicate and its all about timing.
I'm glad to hear about the backpack, but not about the hats. How do you destroy a hat? I dont understand.
So this week we helped an investigator lady clean her house. She was wearing a RETRO Sharks shirt! I totally didnt have my camera tho, but it had Cheechoo on it!
