This week in College Station...
Rudy accepted a baptismal date! And fed us dessert at a fancy restaurant! Win-Win!
Karla has been AWOL forso long that we’re dropping her date :(
Some members in our ward sent us on a wild goose-chase to find a family of North-Korean defectors with rock solid testimonies of Christ that they met at A&M. Unfortunately, though we tracked out the entire complex that they purportedly lived in over the course of a week, we did not find them. However! We did find a wonderful Chinese family to teach. They speak very little english (though they’re proud of what they know) but we used google translate and the new mobile internet hotspot that the church gave us to set a return appointment to teach their family! And here’s the cool part: The member couple that asked us to look for the North Korean family both served Chinese speaking missions. They came to the first lesson and now the family (the Wong family) is coming along just beautifully.
So the adventures with the apartment continue...
Last night was a flipping nightmare. Our loud neighbors finally had the cops called on them for some violent situations. I don’t think anybody ended up getting arrested for assault but at least there was a citation for marijuana! I’m really hoping we can push the leasing office to evict them now, because that’s grounds to terminate their lease. 🙃
Somehow Elder Pinster has a spiritual gift (not kidding) where he can tune it all out and sleep straight through it. Lucky.
We also went gator hunting where we were supposed to be able to find some. We saw a water-moccasin and a big (2+ ft) fish but no gators.
Have a great week Y’all!
