Sorry, I forgot to tell everyone, because yesterday was Columbus day that all of the library's are closed. So that is why I am emailing a day late.
That is awesome that Jackson got his mission call!! Tell him how cool that is from me and I wish him the best of luck. Or he can email me too that would be sweet.
This week was really good. Everything is still pretty slow, but we were able to go on exchanges with the Assistants to the President. Elder Green and Elder Farley. I went with Elder Farley. They are really great missionaries! I learned so much from them with even just being with Elder Farley for a couple hours!
Last Tuesday we had a really late dinner with a member. His name is Danny Tanner. We went to this place called Rubio's. It is basically a fish taco restaurant but I was able to get some enchiladas. As we were finishing eating and about to leave this lady walked up to us and started saying how we "have such a good energy" and that she felt comfortable talking to us and asking us a question. She asked us if we could give her a ride home. Of course as missionaries we can't, but Danny said that he could & she said how grateful she was. Then she said, "I have also been training to be a spiritual channeler." As soon as she said that I knew that it was going to go downhill from there. So she started off by "channeling" Elder Wight. Saying how much his mother loves him. And how he has a beautiful girlfriend and how she loves him too. Then she went to me saying pretty much the opposite of what she told Elder Wight. Then she went to Danny, saying how he doesn't have a girlfriend, (which is technically right because he is engaged) and how he will meet her in exactly 4 months. Then she grabbed all of our hands and said that she is sending all of us love through her touch. Then she went to the bathroom and Danny was freaking out saying how he wanted to leave and how she is going to kill him. But we told him that we would follow them to make sure nothing would happen. So she came out and we got in the cars and started driving. They ended up pulling into this dark alley that was lined with apartments so we just pulled off to the side of the road and waited...
This is the account from Danny of what happened. She was telling him how jealous she is of this girl that he is going to meet because he is so good looking. And said, "Can I at least have a hug before you leave?" Then Danny replied, "Uhhhh I .. guess." So as she was getting closer he realized she didn't want just a hug. She was going to try to kiss him as well. So he turned his head and she pretty much made out with is ear. Gross!!! Then she awkwardly got out of the car and went inside. Then Danny called us freaking out!... If it doesn't sound funny as you were reading that, it was hilarious in person because this lady was absolutely nuts! And her shirt said "love at first sight." So yeah she was pretty weird.
So that was one of the funny parts about this week.
Another good part is we have another member who has a girlfriend that is starting to get interested in the church and we are going to start teaching her here in the next couple days. So that is going to be solid. But other than that things have been pretty mellow.
But I have to go now so I will talk to you all later!
Love always,
Elder Miles
