Dude, this week was just insane! (8/1/16)

Okay so first let me start with last Monday, we were just getting a drink with our homie Islam where out of no where there is this huge storm! It was coming down like crazy!! So we were under a tent trying to stay dry then the ground underneath us started to flood! So we ran to the church and there were like a ton of members in the church and we just waited out the storm in the church with the members! It was nuts! 

Stuck in the Elevator!!

So a few days later we were going down the elevator to get out of our apartment, when suddenly the power goes out and the elevator drops like 3 feet then stops!! It freaked me out!!! My life flashed before my eyes!!! We were stuck in there for like an hour with this crazy old Albanian lady! The entire time she was like banging on the walls of the Elevator and was like freaking out. Also I don't know if you know but elevators in Kosovo are really small and really sketchy. So needless to say it wasn't the highlight of my week, but I am kind of a "glass half full" guy you know? So I took advantage of the situation and got a solid 30 minute nap in it. :)

Also this week I went on an exchange with this cool new missionary named Elder Miller. He is from England and he is such a baller! Me and him are a lot alike! The entire time we were just cracking jokes and laughing the whole time. It was a really fun exchange. 

So at the end of the week, we were just enjoying a nice movie as a branch, then we get a call from the other missionaries saying the cops were trying to arrest them or something?! So we run down there and I guess this Elder was driving through a green light and this guy in an electric wheelchair like zooms out in the intersection and hits the side of his car. So the cops get there and at first say it wasn't the Elders fault but later say because the other guy is handicap it is the Elders fault! So they were like saying they either are going to arrest him or take his passport and documents until he goes to court. So we get there and we have to run 2 1/2 miles to his house to grab his passport so he doesn't get arrested. It was so so nuts holy cow. Also at that time there was like "beer fest" in Prishtina so there was like a huge concert that I had to run through (I secretly loved running through it) It was such a crazy night!!! But everything is okay now hopefully. 

We got some new mission vehicles!

This week was really good though. We have definitely seen the hand of the Lord in our work a TON! We have met a lot of new people to teach and to help it has been a huge blessing. We have also been able to spend a lot of time with Islam which is great because he is so much fun. We seriously get along so much and he is just there for when I am down! It is great! 

Anyway love you all so much!!
