Hey everybody!!
Soooo. The week was pretty much awesome.
Tuesday nothing really happened, but Wednesday we did this sweet activity at the church that I set up. The theme was the "Restoration", and we had four members talk about different things; one talked about prophets, another Jesus, another Joseph Smith's First Vision, and another about the Book of Mormon. And then as the missionaries we did small activities after each short message. For prophets we blind-folded a girl and had somebody act as a prophet and set up obstacles and stuff that the prophet had to guide her through. For the earthly ministry of Jesus Christ we did a thing with the lights and had people try to read the scriptures with the lights off - meaning that without a prophet or apostles we can't fully comprehend the scriptures. We showed the 1st Vision on video. We had a big question and answer thing at the end. Tons of people came. We had a little under 50 people that weren't members that showed up for the activity. We had so many people that we had to go buy more food. :P. so that was sweet. And - out of that we received 10 referrals - which is just amazing.
On Thursday we did an intercombio with another companionship, but I stayed in my area. And then Saturday was another crazy day. So Saturday we had a birthday in the zone. Because birthdays are always rough in the mission I made him a birthday cake. We snuck up to his house in the morning. and knocked on the door, and who was there? Just the 2 best zone leaders in the world with a birthday cake. :P. It was a pretty emotional moment. The kid almost cried, but luckily I caught it all on video. So I will never forget. But that wasn't the best part, so there are 4 missionaries in my house now right - and there is a problem that we have. We don't have a microwave to pop popcorn. So for the longest time we have been talking about taking the microwave from another set of missionaries in the zone. So . . . . right after the "Great Cake Birthday Celebration" we went and pulled off the "Great Microwave Heist". We sent up the other two missionary's first. They pulled the four missionaries in that house in one of the back rooms all slick like. Then the other two of us snuck up, walked into the kitchen, snatched the microwave, and ran out. In about three seconds flat. And then from the top of the street we called a taxi and went home. In the mean time, our other two missionaries left the house letting the other 4 missionaries see them leave with their hands empty. bo-ha-ha-ha. The other missionaries didn't even know their microwave was gone for another two hours - but we had the whole thing planned. We had talked to the APs. So they still think that some guy walked into their house from the street and stole their microwave and not us. lol. It was great. But sadly we forgot to take a video of that. Then Sunday was good. and then today we went to the top of a mountain to take some sweet pictures of Barahona and the ocean.
Till next week, Elder Woestman
