How's it going everyone! Life here is good. Had a pretty good week, Capped by a visit to Chipotle for a free burrito while repping a tin foil headband. The free burrito costume event did not start till six but I was uninformed and so on the way home from a doctor’s appointment for my diabetic companion we stopped by and tried (not knowing that it did not start till six). But they gave me one anyways cause I was wearing it on my head!
In other good news when we arrived at home I had the tinfoil box in my hand and Crazy Bill Price (yes the C in Crazy is capitalized, because as far as I am concerned it is a part of his name). And Bill asked me what it was for and I explained to him it was for hats... I offered him one and he gladly accepted.... I wrapped the tin foil around his head and asked him if he wanted a glove... Of Course Bill Price wanted a tin foil Glove! So we explained that we had to go and he walked away with a tin foil hat and tin foil glove.... Like he had just won the lottery -for free Halloween costumes.
Church was really good this week! We randomly had a member of the 70 show up Elder Chipman is his name and he showed up and shared his testimony on how the lord will bless us if we are doing what is right. We had two visitors at church as well Louis and Jeff. Jeff hated it because there were babies crying, but loved what people said (not the most patient man but he agrees with everything) we are going to have the English elders work with him because they can better address his needs. And Luis went to the Spanish branch and loved it! HE is way cool he loved all three hours and participated and everything! So Cool!
We also had the ward Halloween party. It was pretty good, there was a black guy who went with his son who has a friend who is a member of the Spanish branch. The guy did not speak a lick of Spanish but I went and talked to him. It was while talking to him that I realized that I think people open up way, way to easy to us missionaries.... I mean I am all for sharing emotions and thoughts but the dude told me his whole life story and probably spent a good 30 minutes describing how he dealt drugs... (ps. this took place in the church gym). Beyond that we had two people this week explain to us their love lives and one warned my companion of how Diabetes gave him ED.... SO, SO FUNNY! I had to turn my head and bite my tongue.
In Horrible news one of our investigators (Gina) sister was murdered last week. She was murdered here in Hamilton at like 3AM last Sunday morning (the last Sunday of October). It was a brutal murder and we had actually talked to her sister (the one who was killed) a few times and we ride by the alley where she was murdered every day (about a half mile from our house but don’t worry cause it is not dangerous during the day). It was way sad because she was trying to turn her life around but just was hanging out with losers. They have no suspects. So if you all could please pray for their family. Her Name was Alyssa Morris-Traylor. Gina has asked to talk to us more and is very interested in The Plan of Happiness and has been reading The Book of Mormon. We explained it and she understood it better than ever before! I think she will start to progress when she gets a regular work schedule.
Alright Everyone... I am Doing GREAT... Loving life and working hard. I love you all and everything that you all do for me!
Love, Elder Scott Stiles
