Transfer 6 Week 6

Transfers are this Wednesday, ill be staying in Baraboo with Elder Pounds at least for another six weeks. These transfers just keep going faster and faster..

Halloween is coming up so during our dinner hour Elder Pounds and I decided to go out and buy some pumpkins and carving tools to make jack-o-lanterns. While at the pumpkin patch we were able to meet this really nice guy who actually went to the University of Utah. He's had the missionary discussions before but he said he would like to meet with us again sometime. Pretty cool how you run into people sometimes.. We haven't been able to carve the pumpkins yet but that'll be fun to do in the next few days.. haha

We got a call in the middle of the week to go give a blessing to a member that we have dinner with every Saturday. He got hit in the head by a cherry picker (a little hand crank crane that lifts car engines) it slipped and cracked him on the head.. He got knocked out for 10 mins and then was fine for a few days until he started slurring his words and not making any sense. They took him to the E.R. and by the time we got there he couldn't remember ANYTHING. Not even his wife, his boss, his address, Pepsi (which he loves) Elder Pounds and I, nothing. It was pretty scary. We were asking him all these questions and he couldn't remember anything. We finally asked him if he knew who Jesus was and he paused for a few seconds and thought.. he was like uhhh, I think so? He helped us out in some way right? Woww.. Elder Pounds and I were shocked. He couldn't fully remember him but he knew him better than anything else! Pretty cool. Later we found out he has a severe concussion and he was cleared to go home, he'll regain his memory within the next 2 weeks or so. Pretty Crazy experience though!

We had the opportunity to attend a Pentecostal church last night. We were invited by these people we met a couple weeks ago. It was very interesting! They had a live band and spoke in "tongues". It was a great building experience. They were sooo nice to us and they recognized us during the service and thanked us for spreading the word of God and for our sacrifice. (even though it was wrong they said..) xP Cool experience though.

Anyways, Alberto's date is being pushed back a couple of weeks. We aren't sure exactly what day yet but it'll happen. I'm giving a talk in church next week on Preparing for the Eternities. That should be fun.. haha Welp. I love and miss you all!
