Hey everyone!!
I hope that everyone had a great week, and everything is going fine! This week was very interesting but it went by super fast! But everything is still going good here in New Orleans. And we are having the time of our lives! But I guess to start off our week we got the chance to go on exchanges with a companionship in our Zone, it was a good experience. It was the Elder's in Morgan City which was my first area. But they came up for the day and worked our area and we saw some cool people and, i even got to buy an elder his first snowball ever! But it was fun, and we learned a lot as well!
Elder Cooley and I this week had a couple of funny experience's this week. The first one happened at McDonald's. So we were there for dinner trying to get something to eat, with the Downtown Elders, and while we were looking at what we wanted to buy. And all the sudden this guy comes from behind us and starts to speak to us in Spanish. So we started to talk to him and he was just 100% out of it, and he was from Costa Rica. And he just keep staring at us and saying " Son misioneros de la iglasia de Jesucristo de los santos de los ultimos dias!! La mas Rica Iglasia en el mundo!!" which in english it mean, you guys are the missionarys from the church of Jesus Christ of later day saints! The most rich church in the world!!" And he just kept saying it and saying it, and saying it, he was a super funny guy but a little bit drunk. Then he kept quizzing our spanish to see how much we would know. And when we would get it right he would just look at us and say " I know, that you know, you must be fluent man!!" He was crazy!! Then after about the same conversation 20 times he walked up to one of the Elder's who was ordering some food and just said" Tu Erez Guapo!" Which means you are handsome. And the Elder turned bright red and had no idea what to do with him. My companion and i just sat a laughed at him it was great!!
He is the other story, Elder Cooley and i went to visit a investigator, and we were just walking around some apartments. And this big old lady is standing right by her door and just looks at us and waves us down. So we go see what see wants, and so she looks at us and just says " Yall have been on my mind lately" We got very confused and we had never talked to her before, so we asked he what she meant. She told us that she was a preacher and that the sisters use to come and teach her all the time and she loved it. And then she continued into her entire life story! And while she was talking she had this cat, and the cat was on a leash, and she was just dragging it around as she talked! And then she just asked Elder Cooley if he could hold the cat for her as she threw him in his arms and ran inside to get some pictures. We were standing there pretty confused not knowing what was going on, and we have a cat on a leash, and this lady is telling us her entire life story! While she was inside the cat was trying to run away from us, so elder cooley had to drag the cat back to where we were,so she didn't think that we tried to get rid of it. She comes back out with a bunch of pictures of the sisters that use to visit her, and all these pictures of her cat, and about 45 minutes later Elder cooley had, had enough and told her we had to go, she gave us the picture of the cats and the sisters and we were off!! It was really weird but pretty funny!!
But we had a good week and some weird things happen. But I hope that yall are doing good and are being safe! I will see everyone in about 4 or so months! Love and miss yall and have a good week!
Elder Peterson
