Put a Shirt on Bro. McGee!

Dear Family,

I would like to begin today's email with a story that can only be truly told in person. However, I will do my best because it is just so funny you all need to at least hear about it.

We had a member with us on Saturday morning, Sis Theilbar from Inkom, Idaho, and were headed to a lesson. When we got there April, the wife was not feeling well. She has several health issues so we stood out on the porch in the cold for 30 minutes talking to Husband Chuck who didn't let us in because April was down and out. Sister Theilbar, being from Inkom, had claimed that she would not need a jacket. Little did she know we would be out in the cold for half an hour talking to a man with severe PTSD and who acts like a 16-year-old boy.

So finally we left and decided to run past the McGee's (a less active, part member family) to remind them to come to church in the morning. We got to the corner before their house and Lucy and Bro. McGee come outside. (Lucy works nights and he was...seeing her off.) Bro. McGee was not wearing a shirt and his pants were super low. (There was some crackage going on.) So we're at the stop sign and Sis Schwarze says, "What do we do? Do we go talk to them?" We kind of just sat there for a minute before I said, "Yeah. Let's go."

We pull up in front of their next-door neighbors house and Sis Theilbar makes a comment about "temptation" to which we both made a face and said no. So we're about to say the prayer when Lucy and Bro. McGee start making out in the driveway with us right there! Then Sis Theilbar gives us a play-by-play of what's happening as Sis Schwarze and I both cover our eyes and try to pray!

She said, "Oh, he's just giving her a little chocolate. Nothing wrong with that."

Sis Theilbar! They're living in sin!!!

Finally we got to pray and got out of the car just as Lucy pulled out. I wanted to tell Sis Schwarze to "just drive" so badly, but we had a job to do. The McGees have to come to church. 

We got out of the car and Bro McGee immediately tried to cover up. He said, "Sorry you had to see that. I wasn't expecting there to be ladies present. Let me go put a shirt on," and he left us out in the cold so he could put on a shirt. We finally got in, talked to him, and he said he would come to church. Of course, the abbreviation LA doesn't really stand for 'less active.' It really means ‘Lies A Lot.’

He walked us out to the car, and as we were getting ready to go one of his sons yelled out the window, "Dad, Cason just called you a big fat lady." It was the straw that broke the camel's back. Sis Schwarze and I both busted up laughing and tried to get ourselves under control as Bro McGee said, "Hey! What did I tell you about tattling?!" When the car doors shut I thought I would wet myself I was laughing so hard.

Speaking of wetting myself, we met two people this week that we've been trying to get a hold of because I had to go to the bathroom. I have a gift. What can I say? Ok maybe I shouldn't be telling people that my super power is needing to go to the bathroom every two hours but it has come in handy. Don't judge me.

So I hope you all enjoyed that story. Sorry you weren't able to see my facial expressions, but I'm sure those of you who know me better can imagine them. :)

My week:

On Monday we went to the Marcado and it was so fun. I bought a sombrero. I'm going to have to wear it home on the plane, but decided it is worth it bacause Dad might disown me if I serve a mission in Texas and don't come home with a sombrero.

...

I don't remember any specifics about the rest of the week at the moment but things are going well.

A couple of the elders gave me a blessing yesterday which was really good. I've been having a hard time with different things for the past 7 weeks or so if you haven't noticed, but I'm feeling pretty good today. I'm going strong. Hopefully the work will start coming along. Our only progressing investigator got baptized so we don't have anyone right now.

I love you all. Have a fantastic week. I will see you next Monday.

DFTBMA

Love,
