we had a lot of interesting experiences that day. We were walking
around Aliquippa and Aliquippa is an interesting place and we go to
try this old potential. And so we knock on the door and we can see
people sitting on the couch through the door. And this annoying little
dog just kept barking so we didn't hear what the guys on the couch
said until one of them walked right up to the glass door and yell "Get
steppin'" and he was not happy... so we did as we were asked we got
steppin' me and Elder McGee were just laughing the rest of that time.
Get steppin' most interesting way I heard get of my porch.
That night we went on a team up with Brother Neeley and he took us to
go see a less-active man his wife is active but he's not. And he was
the toughest old man I have ever met. He drive a motorcycle that he
made himself that has a full Corvette V8 engine! Over 600 horsepower!
He is driving a car on two wheels basically! And he has a gun
collection of over 200 guns. He only showed us the antiques he told us
the next time we come over he would show us all the collection! He had
a machine gun as his center piece to his man cave! Coolest old man
ever!
So we also had Zone Conference this week! So I got to hang out with
some of my good friends. It was kinda sad because it was President and
Sister Johnsons last Zone Conference with us. So my next Zone
conference will be with President Bednar! But it was awesome. I love
Zone conferences they really help you grow as a missionary. And it was
great because the best District ever got back together and took a
picture! Seal Team 6!
So on Saturday there is a huge car show up in Beaver Falls so us and
the sisters heard that thousands of people would be there. So of
course we went up there and started trying to talk to people. One guy
loved talking to us but when he went to go sit back down in his chair
he was so drunk that he started falling over and so I caught him and
so I was standing there holding this guys from falling and he doesn't
even try to get back up he was just laying in my arms looking at me
with this drunk face! Hahaha finally his buddy came over set his chair
back up and helped me put him back into his chair! Hahaha but at the
car show I saw a sweet 68 SS Camaro! It made me miss mine so bad!
So the Sisters had an investigator that lived in a very scary part of
town. Or what Sisters think is scary so they gave him to us because
they didn't feel comfortable going there. So we went over there on
Saturday night and he was so excited to see us and he immediately said
could you get me a ride to church tomorrow. So right there we called
up a member and set up a ride for Bernard to come to church and he
came and loved what was taught and wants us to keep coming back and
teaching him!
The most interesting day was Thursday. We visited this lady who said
she wanted to meet with us. So we went over and she turns out to be a
JW... so we had an interesting conversation with her about the Bible.
She really likes focusing on the second coming. Then we went and had
lunch with our Atheist investigator. Who loves to talk but has such
interesting views on God. Such as why are there so many ways to die?
He said God had to sit there and think of every possible way to die.
Why? And then we visited with a less-active Mormon who believes that
God is not perfect that there is no such thing as perfect. So that was
by far the most interesting conversations I have had on my mission by
far!
