We will start with Tuesday it was a pretty good day my
District told me that for lunch they were going to treat me to Mongolian
Grill which was delicious and I made sure my bowls were just stuffed
before they made my stirfry. I have pictures! after that was District
meeting and the Zone Leaders came and sat in on it which always sucks
but after wards they gave me donuts. I like donuts so that was good the
only problem is that Sister Stevenson is allergic to gluten which caused
some crazy problems later that night. Other than that it was a normal
day some members texted me and a less active family gave me bluebell Ice
Cream and Fresh baked cookies. After the cookies we went to the church
for something I don't remember what only to find out that poor Sister
Stevenson had had an allergic reaction to the Mongolian grill food,
Cross contamination I guess and that she hadn't left the chapel after
District meeting and no one decided it would be good to let their
District Leader know or anything so I had no idea. So one of the STL's
who is into this weird oil stuff came and put all these witch oils on my
sister and I guess it helped her. I don't know how I feel about the
weird Oil Voodoo but whatevs.
Other than that I think the week went pretty
standard for the most part we met some super cool people like Ruben. We
talked to this guy who didn't want to talk with us so he gave us a bogus
referral to get rid of us lucky for us there was this kid outside a
house cleaning up dog destroyed trash so we stopped him and talked with
him and he asked us if he could be baptized. He is our Christmas Miracle
I know he will be baptized he is super humble and his first Sunday
and church just so happened to be the week Tad R. Callister came so
there was that. The Lord really does put us where he needs us if we just
follow our plans and work hard.
We also talked to some drunk outlaws who have read
the book of mormon and know that in the first chapter Joseph Smith gets
the plates and they are delivered by some alien named moroni. That was
interesting. He had a hard time believing I got to go inside the big
secret Salt Lake church where no one is allowed and we keep all our
Gold. He was very drunk. It was fun though. The next time we were in the
neighborhood this car pulls up and this drunk lady was with one of the
drunk outlaws and they told us they were going to bring us Guacamole.
Then she blew us kisses and left....I love being a missionary.
This week was mission tour and Tad R. Callister Came it was super super cool I learned a lot about the Atonement and he gave a Sunday
School Lesson in the YSA where he just tore to shreds other churches in
the most graceful and respectful way I have ever seen. Like anyone who
would have tried to argue with him would have had 0 game because he
destroyed all of it it was just super incredible to me to hear. After Sunday
School he and Presidente Maluenda were just kicking it in the halls and
I was too with Elder Sanders and they asked us to come with them and
then they interviewed us both one at a time! It was super intimidating.
At the end of the interview Tad R. Callister hugged me real close and
then stared deep into my soul like deep. He definitely discerned my
being and then told me to tell my parents I was a good missionary and
then I left. I wonder what he saw in there! I hope he liked it. He
didn't like my planner too much I have gotten a little lazy some days
when I do follow ups so my companions do the planning and stuff he just
told me I needed to do better.
This week should be a good week we just need to keep
pushing forward and not give up. We need prayers and we need miracles
and I can definitely use all of your prayers. Remember this is the
season of miracles and we need to be willing to go to our limit and then
even more just like Abraham and Isaac! I love you all a ton
Elder Bassett
