Capìtulo 21 - Trash war, gigantic machete, army of little ducks; it was a very eventful week!

Well because the week before was 8 days, this one was a short 6 days. Regardless of the short amount of time, it was a very eventful week. My comapnion has just about learned the area, the investigators, the members, and the work it going well.

  On our way to the church, we walk up a little hill. On the top of the hill, there was a dumpster. Taking a closer look at the dumpster, my companion and I noticed that there was a man inside who was throwing all of the trash he could into the street. He had actually thrown quite a bit of trash in the street, to the point that he had successfully stopped traffic on this main road down here. So my companion and I, seeing the problem, start throwing the trash from the street back at this very drunk man in the dumpster. We had successfully got traffic moving again on this road, but that just ticked the guy off. I mean, he was aready angry, but after that he was furious. He was also a very stubborn man, so we sat there just throwing trash back and forth, in this trash war, until he angrily left the dumpster. We were just laughing the whole time, and walk away too.

  While we were walking away from one of our appointments the other day, this man, that I have never seen before, walks up to us with a gigantic machete, and says, in the creepiest voice "I want to talk to you guys" Basically accepting the fact the the guy was going to kill us, we let him talk. Turns out, he was just a really inactive member who really wanted us to visit and reinactivate his family. As we were following him to his house, through the richest part of our area, we were looking in amazement at all of the huge houses, just wondering which was his. We turn a corner and see this little tiny hut, made of wooden sticks and dirt, and of course it was their house. As we were teaching this family outside, trying to reinactivate them, and i kid you not, an army of little ducks comes running out of the house. I don't know if you've ever seen a little duck running at full speed, but it was super funny. These ducks just started going all over the place. I couldn't even teach because i was laughing too hard. Anyways, the happily ever after is that that family is coming to church again. So over all, it was a good week.
