Monday 9-12-11
Stupid and boring P-day.
I had not too good emails coming my way which put a damper on my day but i tried not to think about it and the rest of the week went ok. But its crazy whats going on back home... I hope everything is ok.
No mail
No money
Ate dinner at the Bishop of Santa Sussana Ward's house.
Tuesday 9-13-11
I woke up in a bad mood. Every little thing was making me angry. I hate that feeling where i just want to blow up on every little mistake. And seeing how my companion is a champ at making mistakes, i almost blew up a million times!
In comp study i spent the whole time trying to help my companion believe in what we teach... He doesnt have a testimony of these things and trying to explain it to him was like talking to a wall. He doesnt listen. Just has pity parties.
We went to District meeting
Ate at Yolandas with Brother Penrod who has agreed to take us to lunch EVERY SINGLE DAY until Jenkins goes home so that he has something to look forward to every day... Bro. Penrod is gonna be broke, i hate it... i try and order the thing that costs the least amount of money, he's an old retired school teacher how much money can he have? He doesnt need to be supporting missionaries.
We did a little service for a guy... helping him put up a fence.
We showered and went to dinner, after dinner we went out with brother walter to go teach a little girl a lesson. He was driving me nuts. He would dominate the lesson and confuse the heck out of the girl ... I wanted to just get up and leave because we werent doing any of the teaching...
Wednesday 9-14-11
Went to Staples to get some things and to see a Less Active lady who works there.
Comp wanted to go out but i wouldnt let him, there is no way we can teach people if he doesnt even believe what we teach. So we stayed in until i was too angry to stay in any longer.
We ate lunch and watched the Preach my gospel video at the Parkinsons home.
We went out to invite people to the ward picnic we were having.
WE got bored and my companion chose to just walk around. He doesnt even talk to people! He just walks around aimlessly in his own little pity party.
We went to the picnic. it was pretty lame and pretty boring.
Went walking FOREVER. No success. No Progress.
Thursday 9-15-11
Did studies but gave my comp the silent treatment ALL day to see what he would do. So needless to say we didnt have comp. study. he was waiting for me to have it... but i just kept reading.
Went and tracted ALL morning. Found no one. But i did place one book of mormon. And also met a Satanist! Guy was crazy!
Went to lunch at the "Junkyard" Some mexican less active lady took us. It was a crappy place to eat, the food was good but it was literally like eating in a junkyard...
WE went and did more contacting and met with sister starn (less active) who was smoking in her garage! We taught a lesson and i have her my horse liniment because she was having some neck pains.
we wealked around a park, and i still wasnt saying anything, just wanted to see what my companion would do... nothing of course. We just walked.
Our dinner cancelled but they brought us pizza and bread sticks. It was ok i guess? We eat a lot of pizza... its the fast excuse to feed missionaries dinner.
We went on splits and went to this less active ladies house... oh my it was a crazy experience... Smelt like smoke, and poop, the lady is only 52 and she was holding her denchers... she looks 80. Her daughters were walking around the house half naked... the dog was stoned... like it was bad.... What a story.
Friday 9-16-11
Hit my 7 month mark.
Went and did weekly planning at the church. Had a funny Comp inventory for the Spanish elders. We hosted it for them. Providing music and narraration.
Then we went to Toppers Pizza with brother Penrod of course.
Went to the Guidos house to watch a movie with sister starn but by the time she got there it was too late and we had to leave...
Then we had dinner with the Pettey Family. They are way cool. Their little daughter was so funny, she's so smart for how old she is. We had a good time there.
We went to the Regis' home. (investigator) and i was able to answer all of his questions and they were all excited, they said they would be at church, they set up another appointment, and they want to go with us to the visitors center at the LA Temple. It was a way good lesson!
Saturday 9-17-11
I was on splits with Elder Coles
We went to another elders service project in the morning.
Came in and showered and Barry Thomas took us to lunch where he embarrassed me in front of the Cash Register girl. He kept on talking about me with her, he kept calling her over to the table... Oh jeeze... Then we went to his house and he gave me a new pot of protien... Isopure. So now i'm good. I dont need protien.
We stayed in and studdied more because greenies (elder Coles) have to stay in an extra 2 hours now... mission rules. Its so dumb.
Then we went to a potentials house. She was very excited to see us and had already begun reading the book of mormon! So I'm way excited to see where it goes.
Then we went to dinner on the other side of town. I kind of set it up that way to see elder Coles struggle. He's kind of a "know it all" or at least he thinks so. So i really wanted to put the hurt on him. haha! He didnt even know how to switch gears it was so funny. I had to teach him how to ride a bike and he was all angry and pretended he knew how to do it the whole time.
We ate dinner at the Lindseys home and had Tri-Tip. It was way good. One of their kids was playing with my watch and changed the time an hour early so i thought it was 9 when it was 8 so we tried hurrying home but got stopped by some crazy lady who wanted to talk to us... who was pretty much falling out of her shirt... ugh... californians are nuts.
Then we changed back to our normal companionships :(
Sunday 9-18-11
Church was boring. The Regis' Didnt show up and they cancelled our appointment! GRRRR
I was able to give a blessing to a guy in the hospital who has blood cancer. Everyone in the room was not a member so they thought it was awesome. It was really spiritual.
Then we went to dinner at Active/Less Active/Non member home... they have it all. it was a lot of fun. I got everyone talking and stuff. We all had a way good time.
Sorry i would have written more but our ride was late.... We could have been here at 11 but we got here at 12 instead... only giving me a few minutes to write this email. If you happen to see my video journals i sent home they will have more information on them.... So enjoy. Other than that.. i'm AUDI!!!!
Love Elder Crapo
