A guy pulled a gun on us!!
So we were walking down the street and decided to knock a door. It was like 5:30 but pitch black outside because of daylight savings. So this guy with a massive beard and the bushiest eyebrows I've ever seen opens the door, comes out and says something like "you never know what to expect behind these doors boys" pulls a 9mm out of his pants. Points it at us, tells us to come back tomorrow, then closes the door. Strangest door contact I've ever had.
Well being the smart young men we are we went back the next day! I mean he did tell us to come back! We went back when it was light outside and he opened the door and was like the nicest guy ever. He apologized to us for the night before and told us how we spooked him for some reason. He told us how much he appreciated what we do and we were welcome back anytime we wanted. He even said he called our bishop that night to apologize lol. Pretty weird.
We also had zone conference this week and one of the senior missionaries has it out for me, Elder Morton and Elder Thompson. We pranked him last apartment inspections and now his goal is to get us back. So at zone conference he would randomly quiz us on mission rules and policies and if we didn't know the answer he would make fun of us. He is super funny. And other than that zone conference was really good we talked about finding urgency in the Lord's work.
A cool experience we had this week following the spirit was after zone conference we were driving to our area and Elder Anderson asked me where we were going, so I was looking at the area book and a name stood out to me of a part member family we were teaching when I first got here but they ended up saying they were too busy and weren't interested right now. We had tried to contact them a couple of times since then and haven't been able too. So we went and they let us right in and we were able to talk for a bit and she said we could start coming back again! I always love seeing how if we listen to the spirit the Lord will tell us exactly where he needs us to do his work at that time
Me and Elder Morton also made sushi this week, they're just California rolls but we plan on branching out
Love y’all
