This week I got to know some of the members a little bit better.
We had a dinner appointment with some of our members and their daughter was really excited to show us her new pet. She went out to go get it after having us guess what is was. She came back in with the tiniest goat I had ever seen. His name was Louis. It was hilarious the watch their goat run around the house and play with the dog. It had a thing for jumping up on things. At one point he ended up jumping on the dinner table. I have never wanted a pet goat until now. I think it was a Norwegian dwarf goat or something like that.
A couple days ago we were helping out with some things at an investigators house. A less-active member of the church came in, he was obviously in a really bad mood. He said, "You wouldn't believe the day I've had!" then he saw us and said, "Dang it! Now I can't tell you about my day cuz the elders are here, and their not gonna like some of the things that I have to say!" He ended up telling us all about his day anyways. And every time he cussed, he would say, "My apologies elders" And then continue on his story.
He reminded me a lot of a cowboy from some old western movie, He had the nice cowboy boots, old worn out jeans, the huge belt buckle and an ugly button up shirt with a leather vest. He also needed to shave , had a mustache and a big expensive cowboy hat. The whole time he had chew in his mouth and a beer in his hand (He went through several of those the whole time we were there)
At one point his girlfriend came in and wanted him to try some drink that she had, he took a sip and then made a face as though he had just drank something really sour, and said, "Well now that just tastes like crap!" ( He did actually say crap) He gave back the cup and said, "Did it have alcohol in it?" When his girlfriend told him it didn't he said, "Oh, well that's why it tastes like crap"
Other than that nothing really happened this week, I'm pretty sure that the person we had on date to be baptized isn't going to end up getting baptized, which I kind of saw coming.
Well, that's it for the week!
