My short-term missionary goes home

Hey everyone!

Verbatim:

Me: I wasn't 100 percent sure, but I think that she was a girl, her face looked girlish.

Elder Zhuo: Oh, you could tell by her chest.

Me: WE CAN'T LOOK AT THAT!

Elder Zhuo: Oh yeah, I forgot, I'm a missionary now.

 

Elder Kaluhiokalani: (in chinese) I am going to beat your pants

Me: I think you mean "butt"

 

Oh, I'm sorry, was that the Holy Ghost leaving me? It's probably because IMMA KILL YOU!--Elder Kaluhiokalani

 

Guy: I'm an English Leach

Me: A leach?

Guy: Yeah, like this (grabs the skin of my arm and makes a loud sucking noise).

Me: Oh.........you could still meet with us though.

Guy: (drives off)

Me:................

 

 

Well sorry this week didn't have that much happen because I am actually only reporting on a half of a week here. We got killed this week and most of the week we were outside just going and finding. Elder Zhuo was a really great guy and was working really hard even though he doesn't have much experience. He was really brave. It was great to see him break out of his shell and go and contact people by himself and just have a good time doing the work.

 

This week I was going and contacting and after five hours of contacting straight and not having anyone set up with me at all and getting few phone numbers I was waiting at a light to go and grab a bite to eat. I was pulling up and then I just started talking to the guy next to me and he responded in english. There were few seconds left on the light so I asked him to go to the side and he did. We started talking about the gospel and he was willing to learn more and learn  little bit right there with me. His name is Tony and he seemed really intent on learning the gospel because when I was leaving, he reminded me of our meeting time and said that he'll call me to make sure that I can still make it. It was a really tender blessing of the Lord to finally let us have a great new investigator after a trying afternoon without success. Heavenly Father will push us and try us, but in the end He will always make sure that we have what we need to be happy and successful.

Love,

Elder Siebert
