This week was good but pretty boring. Nothing crazy happened. On Thursday we had to go to the mission office to do a bunch of visa paper work for Elder Santos. We did see a guy peeing in the middle of the intersection, so that was sick.
As for our investigators, we are going to baptize the kids of a less active family. The kids remind me of Katie and Garret. They are 15 and 10 years old and they already know everything and are very smart. We have been working hard to try and work with the members more to get them to bring us to their friends.
This morning Elder Deyes (?) one of the other elders with whom we are living, finished his mission so we said our goodbyes. This is the last day of the transfer today so that means that I am probably going to get transferred. So yeah, pretty good week. I'll let you know next week what area I'm in.
From Emily:
Tanner and I talked on Google hangouts this week. He seemed really happy. He said that he was really enjoying his mission and that he was really feeling fluent in speaking Spanish.
He apparently almost pooped his pants this week and it reminded him of the time that he did poop his pants. He was too embarrassed at the time that it happened to tell us, but I guess it has been long enough so he shared the story with me today.
It was his first Sunday out on the mission. Remember, he doesn't speak Spanish very well at this time and his comp was from Uruguay, and didn't speak any English. He said that he had eaten some questionable chicken on Saturday and had had the rumblies all day Saturday, but that he had felt pretty good on Sunday. But then during sacrament meeting, he really needed to go to the bathroom. He told his comp that he needed to go to the bathroom, but his comp told him that he couldn't go because the ward always had the new missionaries come up and introduce themselves and bear their testimonies. So Tanner said he was walking up to the stand and clenching his butt checks as hard as he could. He didn't remember what he said but he was just glad he made it back to his seat without pooping his pants. He told his comp as soon as sacrament meeting ended that he needed to go to the bathroom, but his comp told him that they had to go and teach the gospel principles class. Tanner followed him to the class and sat down, but only for about 30 seconds. He then got up and started running to the bathroom. Of course the hallways were still full of primary kids who wanted to talk to the new, extremely tall elder. Tanner got through them and got into the bathroom and before he could get into the stall, pooped his pants. He said that he went into the stall and just sat there for the rest of Sunday School time thinking "what am I going to do"? He said he finally decided to take off his garments and put his pants back on (luckily they were still clean). He didn't know what to do with his garments so he decided to put them in the toilet tank. (Remember he is a 18 year old boy still.) He never went back and got them and free balled it for the rest of the day. Silly Tanner. He was so funny telling the story.
