Soooooo FUNNY!

This week we were really bad missionary but we had a lot of fun! So don't get mad that I;m a slacker. I repented and I'm  going to do better.

Monday- uneventful really

Tuesday- we did hoarding buried alive again and then we had a lesson with the guillorys and bro G got in a sass fight with me about the stupid catholic church and all of the artifacts that they have and about how they are the true church. it was so annoying and i was just like whatever dude. maybe you should pray about your church and ours and you will see that it is not the true church. it was annoying but we had a good lesson besides that. Then we had dinner with a less active lady, Rose who is kinda crazy and lives in the ghetto but she is really sweet and she gave us a bunch of edible Easter grass for Easter  it was cute. She is really nice and she has a son who is serve Add and ADHD so he is always off the wall. but they are fun to be with. she cant read so we have been trying to get her to listen to the Book of Mormon on cd

wed- we met with Lee the cute little old man. he almost died the night before casue he was having a heart attack but he took the time to write us a note and leave it on the door. it was so shaky you could barely read it but it said " LDS Mormons. i didn't forget about our meeting. i will be home @ 11. i will be on my way back from the ER." He is so cute! he didn't want us to think that he forgot. what a little cutie! Then we did a bunch of random stuff and we had dinner with a less active sis Harper and her family and that was good. then we went to meet with the less active that we found Leslee, and she gave us cracklins. The grossest thing that everyone loves down here. It is fried pig skin and fat that is supposed to taste like bacon. its so gross! I basically barfed but i ate a piece to be nice cause she got them just for us cause last time we were there her husband asked us if we had ever had them adn we said no. she is so lonely i feel so bad for her. but she is super nice and she came to church yesterday!

Thurday- Travis cancelled on us, kinda. he just wouldn't get out of bed when we went over for our appointment. so that was rude. sis Beveridge even came with us. so then we went to help Susan again with her hoarding. we finished cleaning out her bedroom so you can get to the master bathroom now and everything is out of it so it can be used! there were probably about 15-20 huge dead roaches in the bathroom when we finally got to it. way gross. but it was good to get it finished. after we were done they took us to this restaurant called McFarlans. which is an Irish pub. you have to be 18 or older to go in and it was sooo cool! The food was amazing! The waiters wear kilts and bagpipe music plays. its so funny! They have this chair called the butt chair. i will have to send you a picture. actually send you my camera since i cant get pictures off. but it was soooo funny. I love the Lauderdales! they are so awesome and i want the dad and daughter to let us teach them so that they can all go to the temple and be sealed! we are working on building a relationship so we can teach them. Then we had our hour of power and placed my fist BOM! It was funny. we were tracking on the same street as a missionary from another church and he tried to sell us these books so i was talking to him and i was like well we want to give you this book for free so i gave him a BOM and and article of faith card. It was good. haha Then we met with Susan again and a couple in the ward for her new member lessons. because she is a hoarder she doesn't want people in her house so we went to the couples house and it was good. we had a good lesson with all of them.

Friday- district meeting was good. my DL winked at me and was being super awkward. I'm creeped out now. we checked up on a less active and then we took some clothes that we got from Susan's to the women's shelter and that was good. Then we went to dinner at a members home and the dad was sitting there picking his feet the whole time we were giving the lesson! so gross and he wasn't even paying attention! so nasty. then we had an appointment with the sassy black less active lady but when we went she was eating so she wouldn't let us in. so then we went home and went for a bike ride to scope out some areas.

sat- we went all the way down to the coast in Cameron which is part of our area for a craw fish boil! It was soooo fun! craw fish boils are crazy! they boil like 50+ pounds of craw fish and you just get a bunch on a cardboard tray and just sit there and crack them open and peel them and then eat them. it was lots of fun! i even sucked out the heads like real Cajuns! haha it was good. i love craw fish. then we went to the beach and i found a huge dead fish that i named Terrance and a hermit crab that i named Oswald and the beach looks like an Apocalypse from the hurricane so that was kinda creepy but it was fun. i took lots of pictures and videos of me catching Terrance. then elder Decker rode a donkey and got bucked off. it was sooo funny! i love that kid. he cracks me up. then we came home and had dinner with bro Boise the old guy that i am going to adopt and then we had dinner with crystal. she is so funny but i love her. it was a good day and we had lots of fun. I got your package and that was a good surprise!

sun- during third hour the 4 of us went and sat in primary so all the adults could meet together for 5th Sunday. it was soo bad. all the kids are out of control and we cant touch them or anything since we are missionaries so that was hard cause they were out of control . then we had our Easter lunch in the gym and that was fun. lots of good southern bbq. yummy. then the elders came over and we colored eggs on the porch while it was pouring rain. it was lots of fun. and i got them Easter presents. they don't have chocolate bunnies down here, they have chocolate crosses, so i got them one. I take care of them while they are away from their mommy's. it was a good Easter.

I am so thankful for the atonement. the Easter message we were sharing this last week was a Mormon message by Elder Holland. yall should watch it. I love how he talks about the savior and how he walked totally and completely alone so that we wouldn't have to. i know that the savior is always with me. i have been so lonely being away from home and i have felt his presence with me so that i am not alone. I am so grateful for you guys! i have the most amazing family! I am grateful that we are sealed together forever. I am so grateful for this gospel. i learn to appreciate it more and more everyday. I miss you guys sooo much and i hope you had a happy Easter! Love yall!
