"WAAAAAALLLLK PLEASE!!!!!!!"-Elder Tucker

So this week was pretty norm, most of our appointments bounced us, so we did a ton of contacting, however I do have a couple funny stories for you, cause to be honest some contacting stories are great.

Number 1: Once a guard always a guard

One of our investigators we met with was near a pool (not very common in Kenya). It was very nice though, and brought back some good memories. However, I had a crazy bad flash back cause this little girl, gets out of the pool and goes booking it down the deck; without even thinking I went into guard mode, and yelled "WALK PLEASE!" This not only made the girl look but about three quarters of the people in the pool all looked at this white dude yelling at this little kid to not run on the deck. To make matters worse I said this in the middle of the lesson while the investigator was reading from the Book of Mormon.  So my companion and her are just staring at me.  I guess some habits never die. On the bright side nobody else ran the whole time I was there.

Number 2: 'Is this man is a preacher, he needs the restoration' - Elder Ochieng

So whilst in our crazy amount of contacting, my companion and found a park where all these pastors from different faiths come and take turns preaching to all the people in the park.  What my companion likes to do is we will go, listen (most the time they are really good sermons), maybe learn something or two, then when they finish we go give them a restoration pamphlet.  So far this week I have met an apostle (self acclaimed) , about 3 preachers, and one lady who gets paid to pray in public.  We told her that that practice was not really good and referred her to Mathew chapter 6.  But other than that very successful, one even came to church, so that was cool!

Also congrats to all the awesome performances at Grass Relays this week. Keep up the good work!

Mom,

You were not supposed to hear about the building, that was supposed to stay between the siblings. But if you have to know 1. I really wanted to climb the building 2. We had to to get in the house, that was the only way. 3. No one else could do it. 4. I would rather risk my life than someone else's, 5. My comp was going to catch me. Plus that was like six months ago. Teron

(This was in response to a "Howler"(Harry Potter reference screaming letter)-Do not ever, ALWAYS SEE TO SAFETY FIRST. In the words of Teron's Coach Zach "Teron, no just No" said while shaking his head. Teron had wanted to play on the indoor flying trapeze at the Olympic Oval between his track events. 

His twin did the same thing up 3 stories, near the same week, 6 months ago. But "he had 4 missionaries holding the ladder ,so he was safe to get to the balconey". The missionaries had already taken the handle off their door and it wouldn't budge. Jeron's apartment manager gave the missionaries the ladder. AHH! Both twins got this reminder letter.) Mom
