June 30, 2014 - Chiggers!

I have a very strong dislike for bugs. So do my legs. I've never itched so much in my life. It's great. 
I used to freak out when there were bugs on me. Now it happens like everyday and doesn't phase me much. Like we go home to change. Oh there was a spider in my shirt? No big. Wow that thing was in my shoe? I hope he was uncomfortable while I was walking around all day. NBD. But yeah. I have 4 chigger bites that have swollen up to the size of plumb. They itch like they work for satan. I they're pretty common for everyone else here but yeah, I need me some bug spray.
Speaking of bugs! We went hiking for Zone P-Day last Monday. I know hiking in Kansas. I laughed too. But they have some pretty nice hill and trails to walk here so it was fun :) But I did get a tick. It was a living nightmare. After we got him out of my leg I took the pleasure of escorting him to the toilet where I dangled him and taunted him before flushing him. I love all of God's other creatures. :)

Well not a whole lot happened missionary work wise this week. We decided to help get the members pumped and so we're going to try to meet with as many as we can and teach them how to USE preach my gospel. So there was a lot of planning :)
We did however find this super awesome atheist couple. Well he's atheist. Patricia and Samuel. They've got a baby on the way! Her name will be Aphrodite. So we'll see how that all goes! We met with them Saturday and got to know them and introduced the Book of Mormon. They seemed pretty interested. Patricia more than Samuel, but we'll see how they progress :)
OH! and we finally met with Michelle again! She set up a blanket outside for us to talk and her neighbor Amgad from Egypt came out! He's super cool! Talked to us for the rest of the time! But we had to kind of cut it short because Michelle started to take on the member present role even though she's not a member and started by bringing up polygamy. haha! So we tied it up and got onto talk about the Godhead when she throws out How Lehi is the father, and Nephi is the son. He was so confused. Thought we believed in a God named Lehi. He eventually turned to me and said, ok you're the boss. So I had to reexplain everything without bluntly saying ignore everything that Michelle is saying right now :) haha! It was good.
I can't think of anymore exciting things that have happened this week. OH! the Elder's met a man named Hector who later texted them admitting that he wasn't really interested in their message but he was really attracted to them. Awkward. :) 
Ok that's all I got! LOVE YOU ALL! Pray for miracles!
