So I was on the phone with another
missionary because he was having some problems with his companion and he needed
to talk to me, and he says "hang on." And this lady comes up to him
on the other line saying how wrong they are about telling people they need to
change. She said "those missionary friends of yours on bikes (elder
Wallace and I) told some of my tenants that they are going to hell!" (We
didn't. I told this lady that in order to get baptized
she needed to get off probation and quit smoking. I guess she took that to mean
I was telling her she's going to hell --
ha ha) This other Elder was being
reasonable with her but she was drunk and I could just hear the conversation
getting more and more vicious on her part. She started cursing (a perfect indicator
that she knows she is losing control of the conversation) and telling him never
to bother her tenants. So she storms off (cursing like a sailor) and I told the
missionary to stay on the phone and tell me what she was doing. She goes to a
shed, picks up a hammer and a little revolver and starts marching back to the
house. I'm getting nervous now and I told this elder that if she gets within 10
feet of the house to call the cops. Well, one of the neighbors saw her and
convinced her to let go of the gun and the hammer. So crisis averted. So that's
my crazy experience of the week.
We also picked up a very strange new
investigator who calls himself "toshy" (A name given to him by a sensei
of his). Well, we met this guy at City Market, and asked if he wanted a Book of Mormon
and he said yes. So we went over to his
house the next day and WOW, this guy is crazy. He's a self declared communist and
he's considered Satan as his Savior. Oh and did I mention that he said that
everyone that doesn't benefit society should deserve to die? Yeah we have some
work to do with him.
Well that's my week. Neither Roberto
nor Bill showed up to church. How sad. But
we will keep moving!
Elder Bringhurst
