Don't Fall Asleep


Elder Murdoch and Elder Christensen
This Wednesday marked one week since I've been here!

Remember how I talked about Brother Rex? And how he teaches us in the afternoon's you know, the time of day when you're most tired? Yeah, he's really nice but he has a very soft and quiet voice that makes it hard to stay awake. He also has his alter ego, Sean. Sean is just Brother Rex without a tie on and he acts like an investigator and he'll only respond to Sean. If brother Rex isn't wearing his tie, even when we aren't teaching Sean he'll say " who's this Rex you speak of? I'm Sean." And that has gotten old really fast.

Yesterday Elder Mechling offered Elder Jackson some mints in Brother Rex's class, "they're really generic mints so you need to take 2" Elder Jackson takes these mints and we all thought nothing of it.

A few minutes later Elder Mechling pulled me aside and says, "I just gave Elder Jackson Melatonin." Melatonin. The thing that makes you sleepy. In the class where Elder Jackson is barely able to stay awake on a normal day. 5 minutes later Elder Jackson was out cold. When he awoke he was mad. Very mad. He then somehow got almost all the Elders in our class to take Melatonin too. Weird. 

We also have an investigator, Debi, who's rapidly progressing in her faith and I think she'll be baptized soon (you know if she hasn't been already by the other 40 missionaries that teach her) more on her next week!

Love y'all,

- Elder Murdoch

More Africans

We were grinding all week and literally no one answered their door. It was super rough. Then on Sunday we had two people randomly show up at the YSA ward and said they wanted to learn more about the church. It was super amazing. And then we contacted an African that ordered a bible a long time ago and eventually we just gave it to one of the kids who lived there because she was never home. But yesterday she was home with her Brother and they were super interested in the Book of Mormon and kept asking a bunch of questions and said they'd read it before we even invited them to.  Then this other African girl showed up that I had met on TCC campus one time and she said she wanted to meet up it was super cool.  Other than that not much happened this week. Love y'all, Elder Murdoch   We found a turkey out in the hood

Thanks to everyone who wrote me this week I really appreciate it! On Monday we did a "service project" I put that in quotations because it's usually just serving ourselves by cleaning our sinks or something. Except on this occasion I actually wasn't serving myself. On the fourth floor many people were leaving. When I say many I mean literally every soul that resided on the fourth floor. They obviously had to throw away whatever they couldn't carry in their suitcases so that led to every trashcan overflowing and eventually spilling out into the hallway. I touched a half eaten bag of Tostitos and got toothpaste all over my hands. I wish I got a picture but I couldn't leave to get my camera until the job was done and my hands were still covered with toothpaste anyway. Also on Monday Elder Roundy left for Lubbock and left our district a present. His pet snail: Jim 3. Jim was his cow back home, Jim 2 died after they accidentally fed him a salty potato chip....
