A week of funny stories - October 16, 2017

 So this week was chalk full of funny stories.  I hate typing so I will only do a couple. BUT you are probably wondering what I mean by the subject of this email.

     So we bike down to the southern part of our area every Friday (which is the northern part of Indy) and its pretty ghetto there.  We visit with an old African man, who speaks barely any English, named Brother Boateng (idk his first name). He is HILARIOUS last week he told us that he has SWOLLEN TESTICLES so he cant walk very well. haha. This week we were teaching him and he asked if we knew how to use a blood pressure machine. and of course, I said yes because I knew he needed help with something. So he said that we needed to go into his room and help put it on his wife. 

      Let me give you a BACK STORY, she has a problem were she urinates involuntary, (because she is very old) and they cant afford diapers so they use newspaper. so their room STINKS OF URINE. 

         So we walk into the room and the wife, who is pretty hefty, is just chilling on the chair. BUTT NAKED. WHAT DO YOU DO IN THIS SITUATION?? I quickly turn to my companion and he is just dying laughing, we had to go in and out of the room to gasp for fresh air so we didn't contaminate our lungs with urine infested air. We are so confused on why this is happening to us. So I turn back to Bro. Boateng and I asked he could dress his wife and he eventually did it.  It was hilarious and we were able to help her and all is well. 

Also this week. Elder Pond CRASHED his bike TWICE. We were right by our apartment and he tried to do a no hander over this curb, which I successfully did, and I hear some metal clashing against the ground and I looked back and what do you know? Elder Pond was lying on the ground. hahaha so of course I had to make fun of him a little. but we laughed about it.  Then later that night. (on the SAME DAY) we were flying down this hill, and it was DARK,  he must not have seen the entrance to get on the side walk and again I heard the same noise. I looked back and he was face first on the ground.  Luckily he was fine, and some cars were able to witness this one so it made it even better. 

    We are having a fun time here in Carmel as companions. transfers are this week. I have been out on my mission for 3 months and time is flying by. I love the mission. the gospel is true. Also, the second counselor texted us during sacrament and asked if we would HELP him teach the lesson.  We said yes and it turned out he meant teach the WHOLE LESSON.  It was on mission work so no biggie. 

sorry its long. 

peace out.
