This week has been really awesome! In my previous email I said that we
were gonna have Elder Holland come and speak to us on Saturday, and
sure enough to he did and it was super fun.
Elder Holland is a hilarious dude, he was cracking jokes left and
right and when he was talking to us he was just wondering around the
room doing all kinds of weird things, for example he was saying that
if somebody joins this church and then later on decides to go less
active they better not run into Elder Holland on the streets and get
out of his way because it would not be pretty, and after he said that
he just came up to a random kid in the room and just started shaking
him and pretended like he was choking him out, it was super funny. I
also got to shake his hand and that was really awesome as well after
we all shook his hand he said that he looked us all in the eye and it
didn't seem like we were having any big problems as a mission and so
he didn't have to chastise us and give us the discipline lesson. I
felt really good when he said that and so instead of being chastised
he was talking to us about how we need to understand our investigators
and go where they are so that we can bring them up and so that they
will be where we are. He gave a really good lesson and used John 3 and
4 in the New Testament to get his point across, in chapter 3 Jesus is
talking to Nicodemus and in chapter 4 with the woman at the well.
Elder Holland is my favorite Apostle for sure because he gives really
good talks and when he came here and started doing all kinds of
nonsense like talking about star wars and batman and making jokes and
stuff like that it just reminded me that he is a person and not a
robot and he has feeling and can related to you personally even when
he talks to a group of like 160 other missionaries.
After the Elder Holland meeting me and Elder Wilson got a bomb
cheeseburger from a place called Bareburger it was really good by far
the best Berger I have had so far.
We finally have a progressing investigator Aileen she has read in the
Book of Mormon and has a baptismal date🎉🎊 other then that things are
still the same.
Love,
Elder Pugmire
