The rest of the week was pretty dang sweet!
Saturday was crazy! The Mormon Battalion was having a festival thing in Old Town and they had some missionaries dressing up as soldiers to march in a parade but me and Elder Arney were directing traffic at the Mormon Battalion. So we had to be there at 7 am to set up tents and stuff for the festival and at 9 we went to the parking lot. Things were going alright but we had to turn down a lot of people because they weren't taking tours at the MoBat so people were getting frustrated and having to turn around and stuff. One guy made Elder Arney pretty mad because he saw that Elder Arney was writing parking passes for people and this guy just drove past him and parked anyway. Elder Arney went and tried to talk to him and tell him that he needs a pass and that he needs to be back in 90 minutes but the guy was like "yeah, whatever" and tried to keep walking. Elder Arney shoved the pass in his chest and was like "put it on your windshield and be back in 90 minutes or I'm calling a tow truck". He was pretty angry haha. Its all good but he is still working on forgiving him haha XD.
After
that people started telling us that Jeffery R Holland was a surprise
guest and stuff and we were pretty excited. Then we thought about it
and were like why would Elder Holland come to a parking lot to talk to
people so we kinda just accepted the fact that we weren't going to meet
him. Then people started telling us that he already left and we were
like eh I guess he is gone. Then like 30 minutes later this guy pulls
into the parking lot and was like "Hey, I'm here to get Elder Hollands
briefcase and then Elder Holland leaned over in the passenger seat and
waved then the car drove away. Me and Elder Arney just dropped our stuff
and started walking over to the car haha. So we walk up to the car and
just start waving like idiots haha then he rolls down his window and we
started talking to him and stuff. It was pretty cool!
Yesterday
we cleaned the crap out of our apartment and we actually helped move
an old missionary apartment out with the sign language missionaries. One of them gave me a "sign name". Its a name deaf people can give you to
shorten your name down. Its pretty cool! Then we had FHE at the bishop's house
with a camp fire and stuff. It was a lot of fun.
This
morning we went to the temple had a really good time!!! It was pretty
cool. The temple workers that were leading our session were greeting us
all and I noticed that the name on their badges were Riewerts so i
asked if they knew Eric Riewerts and they were like "thats our son". They
said that Brother Riewerts told them that I was called here so they were
looking for me but who knew that we would meet in the temple. After that someone asked if we could help with sealings
and that was the first time I had done that so that was pretty cool!
That's
pretty much it! This week was weird we were out of pros more then we
were in pros it felt like! Love you and hope you are all doing great!!
Love
