This week has been pretty good though. It has been wicked cold. Although we haven't had snow, we have a TON of ice. One day there was about 2 inches of solid ice on the roads. It was super sketchy. We weren't allowed to drive for more than half the week, so we walked a lot.
On Wednesday my companion had to go to the chiropractor, and so I got to chill in the lobby. There was this Australian Shepard named Ginger. It didn't even stink. I just pet it and then listened to the crappy music they had playing. And ate some granola bars.
For dinner that night I got to eat at this place called BDs Mongolian Grill. It was pretty sweet. It works in a weird way though. You grab this little bowl and then you go to this buffet of just raw ingredients and pick out what you want. Then you bring it to this giant circle thing where these guys cook it with their long silver stick things. It's super good. But for dessert they bought us deep fried oreos. Now, I know what you're thinking, that sounds like diabetes, and it is, but it was so good. One of the best things I've ever had.
We got to teach our boy Barraca, the guy from Africa. He is super cool and a really nice guy and we are going to be teaching him tonight.
With all the ice, it was actually super fun. I just slid everywhere. My companion just falls all the time. There was one house that the stairs had turned into an ice mountain. Elder Ellis got to the top of it and then slipped. He fell from their little porch to the lawn onto straight ice, straight onto his butt. It was so funny but probably hurt way bad. I was laughing so hard. He also fell one time when we were playing a good ole game of kick the can in the street. He played soccer, and so he tried to do this fancy backward kick, and just eats it, straight onto his butt. It was so funny.
We are teaching this Brasilian couple and they are super sweet. He is even reading in the Book of Mormon! They know a ton of members in Brasil. It's kinda cool, sometimes, when they speak, I can understand a little bit of what they are saying. Kinda cool.
On Saturday we had quite a few lessons in the night time. One was with Israel and Maria with Hermano Beltran. That guy is a G. He got them to accept that their baptism as a baby wasn't valid. It was ridiculous; the guy is a real homie. I don't know how he did it, but what a man.
We also got to teach Silvestre. We read the Book of Mormon with him and he loved it and was applying it to himself. It was awesome.
Israel came to ward conference yesterday and he loved it. He has come twice and he will hopefully have a baptismal date by the end of the week.
Elder Ogden
