So this week was pretty average teaching and contacting wise
but one pretty crazy thing happened. We found this guy Rob a couple of
weeks ago and he had worked in the states for a long time so his English was
perfect. Anyway he gave us his card and wanted us to call him so we set
up an appointment and we went and ate dinner with him and had a nice
little lesson about the church, and it turns out that he isn't interested at
all!! We then went with him to his business meeting which was supposed to be
half an hour. It ended up being about two and half hours! So we
show up at this meeting and we realized it was a meeting for a coffee company.
They were kind of offended that we didn't accept the coffee when we
walked in but anyway long story short. It was one of those businesses
where they try to get you to sell their product for them and then they say you
make commission on it but really your just making more money for the guy up
top. haha we realized this pretty early in the presentation and it was
really sad to see how many people fell for it. Two 18 year old kids could
tell it was a scam but they sold this on a ton of people. We then went
and met the guy who was on top of the pyramid and shook his hand and we told
him we were Mormons and he was like oh yeah I’ve got tons of you guys drinking
my coffee. haha I don't think he knew that we don't drink coffee, but anyway it
was a really cool experience! haha We also had splits with the DL this week and
I was with elder Tjong-Ayong and I contacted a cape verdian dude and he was
super drunk and he gave me a nice big hug. haha you'd be surprised how often
you get hugged by drunk people here. Well sorry there wasn't much
spiritual stuff in the email this week. The people here are so closed off
to religion so we work crazy hard and still hardly ever see success.
Hopefully this next week will be better.
Elder Hulet
