It was a weird week. It was one of those weeks where every day you wake up and are confused about what day it is. This week's title comes from the family that fed us last night. They have a son that gets home from his mission 10 days before I go home. They kept telling me I should take him on a date when we both go back to BYU. At one point someone said that our personalities would go really well together and everyone got really quiet and just looked at me. Then they nodded in agreement. It was only a little bit awkward.
On Wednesday we had our extra pday. President Strong also had us watch a movie called Free Solo for district council. He wanted us to see it with the view that we can overcome what seems impossible to most people or even ourselves. It was a good movie.
Nothing else too exciting happened until Saturday. A young woman in our ward really likes us for some weird reason and invited us to her birthday party. So we went skating with a bunch of 13 year olds. It was actually pretty neat because her dad is less active and her grandpa isn't a member and we were able to talk to them quite a bit. Her dad even came to church the next day. Yay!
Also on Saturday was a baptism. My first transfer in Harrison we found a man named Gene. He dropped us at one point but we felt prompted to keep going by. Eventually he started reading the Book of Mormon (has since finished the Book of Mormon) and decided to be baptized. President strong gave sister Jelderks and I permission to Skype in for the baptism. It was a really spiritual experience. I'm glad I was able to be a part of his conversion.
God is good!
