Commitment to be Baptized!
We had a lesson with a woman in Prichard. Her name is, Arllinda. We taught her the plan of salvation and she absolutely loved it! She said, "this sounds so familiar, it makes sense." We were like YEAH! and so I asked her to be baptized, and she said she WOULD, so that is AWESOME! She has about eight kids. They are so funny. We are teaching the kids now. They are great. It's crazy tho, when we get to Prichard, usually kids ask us for candy, money or something, but these kids ask for water. They say I just want some water. It is sad. Their water is so nasty in Prichard. It is like yellow. It is so interesting to see the difference in cultures in our area; southern redneck and ghetto.
Bluegrass!
We got invited to a backyard Bluegrass concert. WOW, talk about redneck southern hillbilly. We had sausage dogs and hamburgers, and these guys played Bluegrass music for about 2 hours. Then all of a sudden the daughter of one of the guitar players gets up in front of everybody and begins clogging to the Bluegrass music. HaHa. It was crazy, but cool. It fit the sterotype of the south perfect.
Dying Fish
This was a great week. 5/4/09
We got a call from a less active member and non-member who said they needed some help at 7:30 at night. They have this pond in their backyard. It was so dirty, the fish were coming up to the top to get air. The fish are expensive and they were dying. So I got these old nasty purple shorts that barley fit and an old nasty white Florida Marlins shirt on that the member had and I got in the pond and used a fish net to catch about 85 fish from 3 1/2 feet to 1/2 inch. HaHaHa it was soo funny. I was like throwing up it smelt so bad, but it was actually really fun. I ended up catching them all!

Life Is Different In Prichard, Alabama.
We went out to eat with an investigator and member. On the way back the investigator wanted to see some of Prichard. So we went to Africa Town, then we went to the Ray Williams Projects or otherwise known as Africa Village. They were freaking out. When we were leaving a cop pulled us over. He wanted to make sure we weren't selling crack or anything. He said, "I pulled you over because you were white." It was crazy.
Missionaries in Mobile, Alabama
Here is a picture of me and my fellow missionaries in Mobile, Alabama.
Utah Fooball Fans In Alabama!
This week was hilarious. We were in Prichard at this little kids b-day party. There were about fifteen 8-13 year old kids playing football outside with us. It was a blast! All of them wanted my autograph and stuff. It was funny.The next day we had a day of service in Prichard. So all the wards in the Mobile, Al stake came down and walked around the streets and picked up trash. We found about 10 bullet shells, shotgun shells, shotgun handles, dead fish. Just crazy stuff! It was real fun. I got one of the yellow, "Mormon Helping Hands" shirts. I was so stoked! We met the Mayor of Prichard. It was real cool, people from the city saw us and started helping us pick up trash and stuff. Really Fun!
