Week 49- The Bird is the Word

Guess what..................................................The "Bird" is the word.....funny story for you.  So Elder Bird and I were working in Castle Rock yesterday just walking around and street contacting the people we see. We saw a lady in her car and we made up in our minds that we were going to go talk to her. When we got over we started talking to her but she was face timing her "sugar daddy".  But we still asked her if she knew anyone that was going through a hard time in the area. As she started talking to us something hilarious happened. The in-ground sprinklers popped up so they were in visual sight. I said watch out Elder Bird you don't want to get sprayed. He said oh its probably not that powerful and 3 seconds after I said that BAM! It just shoots this nice high pressured jet stream right in the family jewels soaking right through his pants into his undies. The lady in the car started cracking up and rolled up her window so it didn't spray in her car. We awkwardly walked away and took it as a sign from heaven that right now is not her time.  Thought you might like that it made my top ten  funny missionary moments.

But now with the meat of my email.....MARCUS IS GETTING BAPTIZED ON THE 22ND!!!!!!!! I'm so excited he got an answer to his prayer and told us at church he is a little nervous but excited to be baptized into the crowfoot YSA ward.  How awesome is that! oh it makes me so happy! as a quote from the mission nurses son Nathan Crowley, "I'm not a sower, I'M A HARVESTER" if I could tell you that in its original context it would be a lot funnier, but I have been planting a lot of seeds. Not as fruitful as last week but still met some awesome investigators none of them I'm super confident about though  We Will see.   But we taught gospel principles this week and in sac meeting I played a special musical number with Jarrod Beckstead my homie in the ward! Jarrod is pretty awesome.  He is only a year older than me got back from his mission from Philly.   I love that kid and we hopefully are getting together after the mission. 

This week we had an MLC with president savage and all the zone leaders and sister training leaders in the mission. President savage is a superstar at analyzing data and making plans to overcome barriers in the mission. It was a super effective MLC and I know while he is serving in the mission the work is going to boom! He is awesome and so is Sister Savage. She was a public speech teacher at Utah Valley  University and I told her I'm going there for my aviation science degree and she said to do it because all the people that do  an aviation major are all really successful in theie fields because of how great the program is. A lot of them minor in business as well so I can have a fall back plan but I'm committed to flying! Anyway, they are awesome. Elder Bird is from San Jose California

LOVE YOU BOTH!
