So this week was really slow again. We didn't have any lessons with any investigators this week. Just 3 lessons with less active members. My companion and I are doing everything we know how to do and we still aren't having the success we would like to see. But maybe this is the quiet before the storm. Like Harvey Dent said "The night is always darkest before the dawn." So we still pray that we will be getting more teaching opportunities this week. I know that my mission president trusts me, but this is a very dead area he sent me to, to try and revive it. That means a lot of work has to be done.
So we went on exchanges this week and I stayed in my area with the district leaders companion and my companion went with the district leader in his area. I had to plan out a day all by myself for 2 days straight after having only been here for 2 weeks. It was a little tough, but I think I did alright. We did a lot of going by potential investigators and tracting. We did get a couple of appointments set up for this week though, so that was sweet. After my companion and I were reunited, he told me that the district leader asked him if he thought I could train a new missionary. And he said yes. Then the district leader said that the zone leaders told him to ask that. So it sounds like I may be training in the upcoming transfers. It kinda freaks me out, I used to think I wanted to do that, but now that it might happen, it is a little scary. That is the most important assignment that could be given in the mission field is what the mission president says.
So you are probably wondering what the title of my email means. So on our exchanges, my companion (Elder Von Strahl) and my district leader(Elder Kovach) were biking down a path to get somewhere and they saw a lady sitting on the ground. So they asked if they could help. She said that her now ex-boyfriend used to beat her and that he is now in jail. And they could tell that this lady was obviously drunk. So they offered to take walk her to where she needed to go and she accepted the help. So they are walking her down this path and she fell down a few times and she asked why they were helping her, so they said they were nice people. So when they finally got to where she needed to be she kissed them both on the cheek(with some effort cause they tried to pull away) then she asked how she could repay them. So they said she didn't need to. So she said that she usually pays people with sex. They were like no, no, that alright, you don't have to do that. So they left and the lady went to sleep on the lawn. The end.
