Hope everyone had a great, safe week! This week was pretty good. Went on three exchanges this week. The first one was with Elder Crandell, my MTC comp. Me and Elder Hunt went to his area on Tuesday. His area had nothing to do that day so we tracted all day. One guy let us in and we taught him the first lesson so that was cool. On Thursday, Elder Chamberlain had to go to MLC and he went with the ZL of the Lebanon Zone. His companion, which just so happened to be the homie, Elder Eldredge, came with us for the day. It was a blast! We didn't have the car though so we walked everywhere, which sucked, but we were able to talk to a ton of people. Then on Friday, I went with my district leader, Elder Bush. This was another walking area--again, it sucked, but we were able to talk to a lot of people. Exchanges were great, it was good to go out with some other missionaries.
As far as our area goes, it is looking pretty nice! We have lots of lessons this week and lots of potentials we have to go and visit. Kadyn is still set for the 23rd. He and his mom (she's less active) came to all three hours of church yesterday! They are both progressing well. Angie is doing good also. She still has some things to do before she is baptized in November. John--oh man. He is probably our most progressing investigator but hit us with some bad news this week. He got in trouble with the law and so now he's on probation for three years. So, he ain't getting baptized in October. But, we're gonna keep on working with him. All of our investigators are doing good and progressing well.
This week we had some funny experiences. One night, we were just walking around and we went up to this lady sitting on her porch and started talking to her. This chicks was either high out of her mind on some meth or just really not there in the head. she was talking about some dark stuff, ha ha. She kept talking about all of this random stuff. she told us that she had eight kids at a time but since she was Amish they wouldn't let her have that many kids, so she trained all of her dogs and cats to rip open her stomach and take all of her babies into the wild and raise them ha ha ha ha! I was dying. She was also talking about seeing dead people so that was pretty creepy. Then on Saturday night, we walk by this house and it looked like there was a party going on. We walked up to this one guy outside and asked what was going on. He spoke Spanish so he and Elder Chamberlain talked for awhile. They guy eventually invited us into this party thing. We found out quickly that it was not a party but it was like a business meeting and all the people there thought we were clients or something. There were like 30 people there and when we walk in they all applaud for us and have us sit in the front row. We were so confused. Some guy just kept rambling about this business plan he had in Spanish for like 20 minutes and we were like what the freak is going on. Eventually, we got a call from someone so that gave us an excuse to bounce out of there ha ha!
So yeah, good week this week! I'm loving my mission and I am loving Oregon! It is awesome and I am ready for it to rain! I am learning so much every day and I am so glad that I can share this amazing gospel every single day! Love you all and hope you have a great week! I'd love to hear form you all so hook it up with an email! (kpjohnson@myldsmail.net)
