Does anyone know why I wrote Dikembe Mutumbo in the subject line? Let me tell you why.
One of our investigators, Christian, is from the Congo. We have been teaching him ever since I got here and he is awesome. He is like 6 foot 5 and is just a huge African man. After our lesson last week, we were talking to him about sports, and we asked him if he likes basketball. Most people around here never play basketball, but he said he used to be good. He almost went to America to play when he was younger. He then told us that his cousin is Dikembe Mutumbo. That is pretty dang sick if I do say so myself. We will definitely be balling it up with him in the near future.
I don't know if you have all heard about the mormon.org.uk campaign going on here. The broadway play, The Book of Mormon Musical is now in London, and the church has done some very major things. They bought every single square inch of advertising space in the Charing Cross station and put advertising for Mormon.org there. Then they bought advertising space on over 200 buses and did the same. They also put up a video board above the busiest freeway in London. And lots more than that. It's a pretty massive project and they would've had to spend a lot of money to do it. They even bought advertising space in the program for the play. So. people who go to see the play will get a program with advertising for mormon.org.uk. We have been presented a bunch of stuff about how to best utilize this effort as missionaries. We had to go make our own mormon.org profiles and then become familiar with the site. We also have to put links to our profiles on all the cards we get so people can check us out. It's pretty crazy stuff.
We have some solid investigators right now. A man name Martin is progressing really well, but he had to go offshore to fix some underwater pipes this week. So, he didn't get to make it to church. He loves the message though, and he is going to take us out to hike some mountains one of these days. He is pretty golden.
We had a hilarious lesson with some college kids named Dan and George last Thursday. We've taught them three times and we are becoming pretty good friends. They are hilarious. Anyway, we were teaching them about the Book of Mormon and then George randomly gets up and leaves the room. He comes back with his laptop and says he wants to show us something real quick, and then he showed us a video of his pet snake eating a mouse. It was the most random thing ever. Then we just moved on with the lesson. haha.
It has been raining a ton everyday. We were going to go out with the Wilson's and go on a tour of the Connemara national park again, but it's soo windy and rainy today, that they decided not to. The rain doesn't bother me too much, but the wind can get annoying. ha It's not too cold though.
Studies are dominant lately because we have been listening to classical music while we study. Like Mozart and stuff. We figure that if it makes babies smarter then it will make us smarter too. haha But, it really does help us concentrate and it's pretty awesome.
We went out to Dennis Walkers farm in Westport again on Saturday. It was an awesome day. We worked way hard and it felt good. We were mostly doing landscaping, so we had to dig a couple trenches in his lawn. Then we started building a classic Ireland stone wall. So now I am an expert stone wall builder. Not really, I just used the pick axe and dug the trenches and carried rocks. It was a fun day.
Well, that's what the craic is for the week. I cooked some Fajita's and some other delicious things. Things are going good here and I hope they are going good there. I love you all.
