Who Let the Dogs Out?

Hey guys! I hope yall had a great week! It's almost summer! This week was just like any other week. A few crazy things happened, but that's only in Americus. 

 

On Tuesday, we went on exchanges, and my district leader came to Americus. It was a good exchange! A weird thing that happened was that we were visiting someone who put in a request to meet with us. So we pull up to her house, and it's in the projects. So we get out of the car, and I'm automatically overstimulated. Someone has a huge speaker on their porch playing Megan Thee Stallion with no one around it. So we are walking to her apartment and listening to Megan, and we see this guy and ask if he wants to come to church. Before we can get out words out, he is screaming, "NO NO NO."

Uh, okay? And we knock on our friends door. She doesn't open it. So we walk back to the car. Megan is still playing (it's not even one of her good songs 🤢). We see someone open their door. We ask if they want to come to church with us. She says, "im a stripper and in hungry," so my comp says, "What?" Because he can't hear over Megan. And I say, "Sorry we can't hear you, have a good day." I have never been so wacked out in my mind. Idek what was going on. 

 

Then, on Thursday, Elder Pettingill and I are back together, we visit a lady who has talked with missionaries before. She lives out in the country. We pull up to her house, and we park a little bit on her driveway. Her house is on a slight hill, so we walk up her driveway. We see her front door was barricaded. So we go to the back door. Well, im looking around seeing if anything was outside, and I see nothing. Then we hear a growl come from near the back door. So we think it's inside. THEN WE SEE EYES FROM UNDERNEATH THE BACKDOOR DECK. 3 LARGE GREY PITBILLS COME SHOOTING OUT BARKING AND GROWLING. WE DASH TO THE CAR. you can guess who was in the back of us running. WE JUMP INTO THE BACK OF THE TRUCK. Elder Pettingill cracks his phone on the way in the truck bed. So we waited until the dogs walked a bit away and got into the truck and speeded off. We had to stop and catch our breaths on the side of the road. Our hearts were pumping out of our chests. So I need to pull up with 20-foot wasp spray, and you can bet ur bottom dollar them dogs would be dealt with. 

 

It has been nonstop raining here. On Saturday, we were under a tornado warning. There was a tornado 20 minutes away from us and was headed towards us. But since Americus is on a hill, it went around? Idk if i believe these people.

 

Elder Pettingill and I gave mothers Day talks at church yesterday. It went pretty banger. Everyone was laughing at my jokes. They want me so bad. Of course, they were glazing me after.

 

Anyways that was my week. It's pretty usual here. This place isn't real at all. Love you guys!
