Elder Smith and I went there for lunch one day at a place called Dizzy D's. They have this burger called the 18 wheeler. It has 9 1/4 lb patties, 3 onion rings, 3 eggs and 3 tomato slices. If you can eat the burger in 18 minutes, the burger is free and you get your picture on the wall. Elder Smith decided to take the challenge to eat the 18 wheeler. Elder Smith was able to eat the 18 wheeler burger in 11 minutes!! That was crazy. Needless to say he had a hard time walking the rest of the day.
We did service for a lady that wanted her windows trimmed. On our way to her place (we were in our service clothes) there was a lady that had told us that her prayers were answered and that Mormon missionaries don't have to wear suit and ties any more. She also asked us if we could do some service work for her. We told her that we were unable to help her at that time because we were on our way to help someone but that we could come by Friday and help.
We got a phone call from someone that we tracted into. He asked if we could help him build a patio in his backyard Saturday. We told him that we couldn't because we had a meeting to attend. We did mention that we would see if we could find someone who could help him. We ended up calling the Elders Quorum President and told him the situation. He said that he would find some people to help him. So that was good.
We also went tracting with the spanish speaking Elders this week. While I was out tracting, we came across someone who has been excommunicated from the church. This person is convinced that the Mormons are out to take over the world and when you get old and can't think for yourself the church will come and buy all that you own. That was an interesting person. Another house that we came to we were able to see inside the house through the screen door and saw that this house had a cow head mounted on the wall. That kind of creeped us out a little. We had an interesting time tracting that day.
A couple of our investigators that we are teaching remind me of Kimie, whom I taught while I was in Pasco. They just agree with everything that we say or ask them. That's a little frustrating.
That's about it for the week.
I love you.
Love, Scott
P.S. Elder Smith sleep walks. One night he fell asleep while writing in his journal. I finally turned the lights out when a few minutes later he got up and went to the window and opened the curtains. When I asked him what he was doing, he said that he was waiting for someone. They were coming to pick him up so they can go hang out.
Also the pedal striped out on my bike again. I think I'm done with the bike. I don't think it's worth fixing again.
