Zoo Wee Mama



This week went by super quick but here are a few highlights:
This one guy just showed up to church out if the blue and although he wasn't a member knew a bucketload about the church and the gospel and wanted us to come over to "answer some questions." He was really nice but I kind of thought it was a trap. Typically when people randomly ask questions we get hit with a fat stack of anti. We went to his house on Wednesday and he revealed he knew even more about the gospel and started asking some super deep questions that I never really thought/cared about but Elder Thueson who was in a trio with us that day and loves deep doctrine was answering all his questions. 

We also went on exchange with the assistants this week, Elder Christensen and I tried to go to a college campus but we forgot it was the Friday before spring break so no one was there. We had one good contact but everyone else in the sparsely populated campus was not super into it. We met these two guys with Thrasher gear and Elder Christensen tried to talk to them about sk8ing but they said they didn't know how to. They were in some sort of metal band and one of the guys talked about the difference between shredding on a skateboard and shredding but his metaphor was lost on us. He said, "There's peanut butter, and then there's mayonnaise, but then there's freaking jelly." Unsure what the correct response was we told them that, "actually reading The Book of Mormon is the freaking jelly," And they walked off.  

We also tracted into some lady wearing nothing but a dirty black robe looking thing and I thought we were going to square up against a level 3 witch but she turned out to be a normal atheist but she was really nice and gave us some RC colas. 

Love y'all,
Elder Murdoch

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....
