oh ya, the mission was invited back to the rockaways to do some stuff, but we didn't go. it was cold and far away and i didn't feel like it.  but what they did was stand on the beach and hold hands like a chain all around the beach.  and they had the drunk irish people there too. elder bey had this drunk lady all over him. like holding his hand in a less normal way, and the news crew was there, and he was freaking out the whole time, and the other elders and his comp were just laughing at him. hehe    they were supposed to launch those little light lantern things from tangled. but i guess not..

  oh, so yah, elder law is transferring out. i'm sad about it, but it's normal, and he's had a different comp every transfer other than training. so it's normal for him to be out.  and plus it's been the same for me too, i've had a different comp every transfer other than training.

  

 the ward had a chili cook off / trunk er treat. and elder law made some chili that was pretty good. the kids dressed up and my favorite was the second counselor in the bishopbric 's kids were dressed up as pioneers. and they looked good.   then there was this fat girl dressed up as finn, from adventure time, and the bishop's kid was a knight. and it was mostly the little kids ( as always)  two older ladies dressed up too, one was the queen of hearts and another was snow white.  ( oh i saw that pic of shelly dressed up as snow white, super funny)  

   halloween is a weird holiday.

 oh ya, and for our costumes, we switched name tags with each other.

OH story of the week: yesterday we were at church and this fat lady comes up to us - we were standing outside the doors like always- and she starts yelling at elder law, and i'm across from him, and she's saying that we can't go over to her daughter's house anymore because we didn't say hi to them at the chili cook off.  her daughter is a less active and we just started seeing them, we went over just once, and had a good time, then they came to the activity and i noticed they were there, but stayed seated, because the other members were doing their job, which is talking to the less actives and just anyone new in general.  so she was yelling at us -in front of a few members, like a missionary couple from the north mission, and the old bishop who is now our correlator, and a crazy cat lady (more about her later)- but she was saying that she has tried to get her daughter to church for years and she's never come, then the first time in years she comes and we "dropped the ball" -according to her husband.  BUT IT'S NOT OUR DUTY TO SAY HI AND BRING PEOPLE BACK, IT'S THE MEMBERS!!!!!!!!!!!  just cuz we didn't say hi to them they  don't want us to come to their house, and probably they'll never come back to church.

   MISSIONARIES COME AND GO, MEMBERS STAY LONGER. THE FAULT ISN'T OURS ENTIRELY.
