Gallivant as a Noun

Dear Family,

I don't even know really what to say about this week. It was interesting. We had a district meeting on the law of chastity, that was fun... We did find a new investigator this week named Tom. We met him at the begininng of the week and then taught him near the end. When we got to his lesson it was cool because he said he didn't feel like the Book of Mormon was false. Halfway through the lesson his son came out and said "Dad, the food is ready!" The dad started laughing because that is how his son saved him from the Jehovah's witnesses but he said he wanted to hear what we had to say.

So we went with one of our recent converts (who got baptized at BYU-I btw) to go help this old lady. She was on the 6th floor of an apartment building and is moving to the 2nd floor and just waiting to die. It sounds sad but she is pretty okay with it. She smoked for 50 years so she knows it's time. But anyways she had us clean her old apartment because she couldn't. She warned us before hand that she had Hepatitis C. Not good stuff, so we were really careful and had doubled gloves. We didn't have any cuts so all was good. But we had to clean the toliet and of course all of us being teenagers we were arguing over who had to do it, Sister Homan ended up doing it. After Jacob posted on facebook that we had cleaned an old ladies toliet. We had correlation that night so we were at our ward mission leaders house and his wife asked us what Jacob meant when he posted that. So we told her we had cleaned a ladies toliet who had hep c. She freaked out, hardcore. She made all her kids get away from us and had us sit in a corner and no one could give the sisters and handshake. She then went on a huge search on google to see if she was in any danger. She ended up coming to the conclusion that she wasn't. We didn't know what to do though, it was pretty funny because her husband was just laughing. She then spent the rest of the time upstairs. Fun times.

We went to dinner at the bishop's daughters house. It was great, they have 4 crazy kids that were just wrestling and teasing and beating each other up. And one point we heard a thunk that sounded pretty brutal when the kid walks in and tells his mom, "Mom, Jacob just hit me reeally hard in the head. It hurt, but not too bad. But it is all ok because I am ok!" Then gallivants back on in to wrestling. It was so funny, I have never seen a kid do that. Usually they cry or try to get someone in trouble. Nope, he just wanted his mom to know he was ok.

So Friday we held a fireside. Our mission has implemented a CD to help members be effective missionaries and it is called "The Missionary Next Door" So we held a fireside based on this CD and spent a lot of time putting everything together. We had 14 families helping. It was supposed to be awesome. Half the people dropped out less than an hour before and some others didn't even show up. Some people came, but then it was mostly put on by the missionaries and no one wants to hear from us. Well the lady who made the CD, her dad was there President Hassler. He is in the mission presidency. He told her we worked hard and it was good but we were kind of upset with how it turned out. The lady called us and talked to us, that was pretty cool. She is like a mission celebrity, but yeah.

So really not to much happened. I am glad you guys are doing the Book of Mormon challenge. I finally caught up the other day! It is pretty neat. I enjoyed 2 Nephi a lot with the focus on the atonement! It was super red and green! But today we hit Jacob 5... I still gotta finish :)
Well I hope you all have a wonderful week! I love you loads!

Love you more than there are cows in Wisconsin!
