This week was really busy. Our p-day was moved to Tuesday followed by Zone conference which went from 8am-5pm and then weekly planning was on Thursday. So we had three days in a row that were busy... but not productive haha
There is this house in our area that we knew some inactive members that we have never met before lived in. But we never visited because is looked super sketchy, it looked like a big storage thing or a shop of some kind an was surrounded really closely by a big fence that had barbed wire at the top. So we assumed that we probably should go there. But we were driving past it one day and we noticed that the gate was open. So I pulled a U-turn and headed back. We pulled up and it still looked as freaky as ever, but we walked through the gate and up to the front door. We noticed a little note on the door that said to go around back. So went down the side of the house stepping over lots of piles of metal and trash. In the back of the house we ran into the oldest looking men I have probably have ever met. He seemed glad to meet us and invited us into his shop to see his projects. When we went into the house I realized that his house was just a really big shop but had two rooms built as a kitchen/dining room and a bedroom.
He led us around the shop and showed us all of his little projects. He had a lot of really cool crosses that he had made out of bullets. His wife came home so we went into the living room to visit.
They were both super friendly but he said that he was a "bad Mormon" because he never came to church and didn't believe some things.
We had a funny conversation though. He told us that he was married to his first wife for 27 years and that after she died he remarried the wife he has now. His wife said, "You forgot to mention you married me 3 months after your first wife passed away!" He responded. "Well I was married for 27 years! I didn't want to go back to single life! And when you die I'll just find someone else!" She laughed and said, "Who in their right mind would want to marry a 96 year old man?" He smiled and said, "Oh I've got plenty of potentials, a couple of the women at the retirement home would make wonderful wifes!" Then he pointed at the wall behind us, we turned around and saw several pictures of some very elderly women. He pointed out one women in particular. And said, "I've got my eyes on Ms. Jones over there, There's a good chance she'll live longer than you So i'll probably marry her next!"
It was really funny, but other than that nothing really too exciting happened.
