This
week has been full of random things that just popped up. Well, except
Tuesday. We tried to visit a thousand people, but no one was home. While
we were out, we dropped by a member's house to use their bathroom, and
they invited us back that night. When we came back, we shot slingshots
at milk cartons and tin cans. Fun!
The
"check engine" light came on sometime Tuesday, so on Wednesday we took
it in to be looked at. That light isn't very informative, though. We
checked the engine at the mission office, and we're pretty sure it's
still there. Then, we took it to the dealer. They had us wait a half
hour before seeing anyone to soften us up, then drove the car off to who
knows where. But, they figured it out pretty quickly; or so they
thought. The guy there invited us into his office and pointed out the
problem: according to their records, we'd driven the car for years
without changing the oil. Unfortunately for that easy diagnosis, the
mission took care of the oil changes. Fortunately, they still figured
out the problem: the mission changed the oil, but never reset the oil
change light. Which basically meant that the car was throwing a fit over
nothing. Finally, we had a Book of Mormon class, the last for the
summer.
Thursday,
we had district meeting, then tried to visit even more people, but no
one answered their doors...again. Well, that's a slight exaggeration. We
did meet one cranky lady who chewed us out for knocking on the wrong
door. Apparently, the person we were trying to visit had moved out a
while ago, and this lady had Mormons knocking on her door asking for the
wrong person ever since, and was taking it personally. That night, we
had correlation meeting with our ward mission leader, Bro. Grant. He is a
world leader in Brazilian Jujitsu, and my companion asked for, and
received, a quick lesson. Funny story behind this- Bro. Grant was trying
to show him something, and Elder Mackey thought he was starting a
wrestling match, and grabbed him out of nowhere. That's the only reason
Mackey got a hold in the first place.
