Dusty's baptism! I posted a picture of us and him a while ago. He was so excited to be baptized. They had a hard time finding a suit his size and finally about 15 minutes after the service was supposed to begin, they found one. A lot of people showed up for it. So a little background on Dusty- he is 62 (baptized on his birthday), a little mentally challenged but very highly functional. He's hilarious. He thinks out loud, too, so as someone is speaking, he'll go "mhmm, yep, oh yeah, mm, okay, good, yeah, mhmm". One of the speakers at the baptism was a member of the bishopric and he goes, "Dusty, look at all the people who are here for you today." And he turns around and says "Oh wow! Look at all these beautiful people. Just beautiful. Oh my gosh. Yep, wow." hahahaha Maybe you have to know him for this to be funny. We met with him a couple days after his baptism and he was explaining to us how the Holy Ghost felt to him (he says everything is just brighter now and he has this glow in his heart. he is so precious.) and I asked "Is that what happened the other day?" meaning is that how he also felt at his baptism, and he looks at me and goes, "What do you mean what happened the other day? I was BAPTIZED! Duh!" hahahahaha. He comes to church every single Sunday and participates in the ward choir.
So I'm looking in my planner to see what else there is even to talk about. I swear I do things. And things happen. I just don't even know what they are. Okay you know what? I'm gonna put a sticky note in my planner and throughout the week, I'll write things I want to put on my blog. Yes, that's how I'll do it. Bam.
We had zone conference last tuesday! Zone conference with with two zones of missionaries (so about 50 of us) and our mission president for six hours. It's phenomenal. The next day we had zone training (which is just our zone, so about 25 missionaries) and tomorrow we have district meeting which I'm giving a training at. Have I also mentioned that we're at church from 7:30am to 5:00pm every sunday then we have a phone conference that night at 8:30?
Sometimes we walk in a store where the radio is playing or a car passes with really loud music and I am just so disappointed. Why? Because they are playing the same exact music that they played from BEFORE I left on my mission 7 months ago. So yeah about a year they have been playing these same 10 songs. I don't understand. I've also heard that Texas may be a little behind on the times. I hope that's the case.
Well, folk, Sister Munro out. Til next week! (when I'll have a whole sticky note of things to talk about!)
