Smartphones and dementia

Well to start of WE ARE GETTING SMARTPHONES we will no longer be in the year 2005! Haha this week has been pretty good. I will try to write better emails, but I'll start with the fun stuff that happened this week. We played volleyball with the ward on Tuesday I was trash and this man named Fred, who is in his mid thirties, was very disappointing in me it was actually hilarious the guy takes volleyball so seriously. Then on Wednesday we had interviews with the mission president and his wife, which were great! So that was pretty lit. Then we had exchanges later that day so I went with Elder Harvey and we knocked and found no one and then had dinner with a  member. We then went and played some basketball with the elders quorum because there are usually non members there. So that was fantastic. Then we woke up Thursday morning and went and did splits till about four . We had a very interesting day most of the people were college students in between classes so we got some come back appointments. We knocked on this dudes house and he was sitting by the door he said who is it, we said missionaries and then he said oh no one is home lol. We then went and started knocking on a new street and a lady invited us in and we were like aye this is awesome little did we know she had dementia. She asked us are names and where we were from we thought she was just an old lady that forgot until her son called us and thought we were manipulating her. So we got out of the house as fast as we could. Friday we went to an investigators house who lives an hour away. We went with a member who's friends with him. They are both mid 80's. The funny thing is the member that took us went 25 within city limits no matter the speed limit and then went 70 outside of the city. The man we visited is named Ivan, and has a prosthetic leg and lost a eye. This man has like 40 cars and a ton of guns it was great. He even had a Rolls Royce which I know my Grandpa Teryl would like. Saturday I had hot chocolate which sums up that day. Then yesterday we helped that same member that we went to visit Ivan with, and help him with his printer lol my companion tried to fix it while I saw five mins of the Kansas Duke game that was the worst five minutes of basketball I have ever seen. Like how do you miss so many open dunks and layups. Lets hope for a Loyalla Nova championship. We then went to dinner with a family in the ward that half of them are members, but they married non members so it was like 50 50. It was cool because there were little kids running around so it felt kinda like home with all the fun crazy cousins running around. Well I love you all enjoy my pics of the cars and of me. Shout out to Brodie I am so proud of you, and  cannot wait to here were you get called to. I would like to leave you guys with my testimony. This has been the most humbling experience of my life I have seen so much change in me. I have been able to accomplish so many things because of Lord. This has been the hardest experience of my life, but I am beyond grateful that I have the opportunity to invite people to come unto Christ. I am beyond grateful for the smartphones my mission will be receiving this will improve the work a lot . We will be able to reach so many that we might not have been able to before. The messages on gospel library are so good. I love you all I think and pray for y'all every day in the name of Jesus Christ amen​.
