So many classics this week just wont.do.it.justice.
-Kid from Mexico serving here.....really thick accent.......in our District Meeting that President was sitting in on........
"I meeen jus don't ben an apricot"
.....all of us....confused....President Bell there so Elder Ives just nods his head..."yeah totally..."
*what*
45 minutes later Sister Engebretsen leans over "........Hypocrite."
*literal dying*
-Eating dinner at Woods, Lydia (my fave 13 year old):
"Yeah we LOVE to go on bike rides, my Dad takes us all the time- wait a second---you'll just die he rides his bike every day to work, Dad! Show the Sister Missionaries your leg muscles!"
"Lydia, WHAT are you saying?" *Dad Wood*
Us: "Oh....heh ...heh......no it's ok......i mean if you want...what-no i mean don't.....great...bikes.....we walk.......car.....hmm looks like a great day outside!"
#failure
-Waiting to teach Troy....on exchanges with the Sister Leaders so I'm like "oh yeah...we got this in the bag.....oh he didnt show up.....oh its dark outside and we aren't supposed to be walking in the dark.....I mean it's fine....I know all the homeless people...so we'll be fine..........................."
Talking to Troy's neighbor RoberTOE from Cooba (Cuba) who is......totally sane...waiting for Troy.
And ok yeah big deal they live in the ghetto. So we're on the porch and I make him turn the porch light on *rookie*
So LOW ridin car-- like "Pimp My Ride" and Xzibit just got done working on it-- comes rolling up all slow in front of his house. Roberto goes RUNNING inside (he's borderline paranoid...like has security camera up) behind his SCREEN door that will save him......
Car has most tinted windows i've ever seen and they are just like stopped in the middle of the road in front of the house......so i do what ANY.one. who grew up in dah HOOD of P-Town would do.....
so i waved.
Roberto- "SHOOT GURL, you WAVIN?!? some STUHRAINger- ...asdflkja kl;ajs...like you don't even KNOWdem they, got coulda got dat gun pointed at you they gun blow yo brains out..asldfsdf...you just be WAVIN!"
But it was fine. Car goes screeching off flips around.....drives back all slow again.........and only ONE thing could come to my mind....
Madagascar.
"smile and wave boys....smile and wave...."
#oops
So yeah....then my main gurl DIANE rolls up...in a DODGE CHARGER (told me that like 40 times) .....give a quick lesson to Troy...gearing up to walk home
Diane rollin by "DODGE CHARGER GURL, DODGE CHARGER!- wait you girls WALKIN?? SHoot girl, jump in!! ISS A RENTAL!!!"
NO idea if that was even APPROVED!?! but whatever. desperate times desperate measures. Accepting rides from homeless people NUMBER ONE in my book.....ESpecially if its a rental....and a Dodge Charger.
Spent the whole time helping her decide if she should drive seat back one arm on steering wheel "rollin through hood ghetto" or up tight "urban mom style".....#greatest
Rounded up the end of the week...walking home.....dark (not supposed to tract) but 30 min left......*music coming through the air* WHAT
look over. SKATE PARK. lights blaring.
#winning
Waited at the top for like 10 min pumping up Sister E with some courage to walk down....starts backing out like half way down the hill....literally pulling pushing her on.....girl sitting on bleachers GOLDEN. talked to her forever about my EXCESSIVE knowledge of skating.................................................so then about 30 seconds later moved on to next subject.
But it HIT me. Like I used to think I was fooling people by slyly bringing up the gospel or tricking them into a conversation about that we snuck Church in to....but im like.
I LOOK LIKE A FREAKIN PILGRIM.
We are at a SKATE PARK wearing SKIRTS holding BIBLES.
Not.fooling.anyone.
And I brought up like YEAH we are on MISSIONS here and its AWESOME! and literally the most natural easy conversation I've ever had in my life.
BEST yet.
