March 6th, 2016 - Week 30

Here is what we got from Griffin this week:

Hey everyone! This week has been really good, I'm not in Mongolia yet, darn it. Right now I'm working in Logan youth stake, I'm with elder Udall for right now. It's pretty crazy cause we don't have an area we technically work in because all of our mission records got transferred over to Mongolia, so on paper we don't exist in this mission anymore! It's kind of hard because our ipads have been resetting themselves because they've lost our accounts and records. It's been a pretty interesting week so far, me and elder Udall have been tracting this area, trying to find people for the zone leaders to teach, we're pretty much nomads, so we're basically Mongolians already🇲🇳! This was pretty eventful though, we knocked on his door at one point and this voice came from within the house that said in an old British accent, “who be at my front door?" We responded with the "the elders!" Then he said even louder, "who be ye!" Then we said were the missionaries, then he groaned for about 2 minutes and ditched the accent and said that now wasn't a good time so we left. Then the other night we were walking down the street when a car passed by, a teenager looked out and asked if we were  missionaries, we said yes. The car then pulled into a inter section and the kid popped his head and said "so i heard your guys church-" then as he was turning he crashed his car into a snow bank, and it got stuck. The kids, all 3 of them, get out of the car, they were all juniors in high school and were not members. We helped them get their car out. A cop rolled by, turned his lights on, helped out, and then chastised them for about 10 minutes then were all on our way. We figured that the kids wanted to pull a joke on us or mess with us, and that night was kind of a hard night already, but I like to think that the holy ghost was protecting us from having an even poopier night, so we wouldn't be discouraged! But overall it was a really slow week. Sorry I don't have any pictures yet, my ipad camera is locked right now😥
