These blog post titles are incredibly dull, I apologize.

  So a couple of fun things happened this week.

We had to drop a seemingly elect investigator. We'll call him "Jamie". We found Jamie while out knocking doors while he was riding by on his bike. Hna Elizabeth Calvo (coolest RM ever! And she's Cuban!) helped us out and he got really excited about coming to church and getting baptized. And later on, we found out that he was a little... attached. He didn't really want anything to do with church, he just was obsessed with a "muchacha". Namely, one of us. It got really creepy and awkward really fast. We passed him to the YSA elders but he just became a headache for them and didn't want to do anything with them. We're done with him.

   We've had to stop teaching another investigator (so now we are down to zero in our teaching pool). But her last lesson was HILARIOUS! So we had a Member Present Lesson with her once before with Yolanda. And this investigator has three rabbits that just roam around. And during our lesson, one rabbit kept trying to chew up Yolanda's shoes and my bag. So this last Friday we brought Yolanda's husband, Isaac, to teach with us. We had to show him were to park, but we left our car a little further off (due to our shortage of miles) and we couldn't ride in the car, so we walked ahead of him for 2 blocks to show him where to park. Isaac is driving really slowly behind us, and we're in a less-safe area. So this black mustang pulls up next to us and the guy rolls down the window and says to us, "Hey! Do you know that guy behind you?" We assured him that we did and he drove away. Then we just BUSTED up laughing because we realized just how funny/awkward/sketchy the whole situation looked! Our poor member!

    So we parked, said a prayer, and walked up to our investigator's door. I warned Isaac about the bunnies. But then the door opens, and there are TINY Styrofoam balls EVERYWHERE on the floor! And the investigator's half-naked, 2-year-old granddaughter comes running out excitedly! She was trying to entertain her. So this whole lesson, the baby is running around and sweeping, throwing and blowing bits of Styrofoam EVERYWHERE! SO FUNNY! We left and I had to dump the little balls out of my Book of Mormon and sweep them off my skirt! It occurred to me later that I hadn't even bothered to warn Isaac about the granddaughter LOL!

   But yeah. That was it for this week! And also always remember this: The love is more important than the KIs. Love y'all! Talk to you next week!
