McGyver Strikes Again!

Here's Elder Guthrie's correspondence from today, Jan 18, 2010, completely unedited. I didn't even correct his spelling...


Sometimes baptisms just dont work out........

We were supposed to have a baptism on friday, when we went to her house to pick her up, they told us she wasnt there.....so we went looking for her at work and she said she would get of about 6. When we went to the church to start filling up the water, it started hailing, so i found a wrench and dissasembled the faunt and put it in the car port of the church. it took about two hours or so..... it was COLD, and me and cottonballs (Elder De la Rosa) went looking for her, she told us to wait outside for her, we did, for two hours or something, when we went to look for her again they told up she already left, so we didnt have that baptism that night. We went back to her house a few times and they always told us she wasnt there, the last time was night, and they told us she wasnt there again, just when some gay guy came and screamed, JULIE(her name)........JULIE.........JULIE, YOU OWE ME MONEY.......and then he broke in and found her in the house, they told him she was talking on the phone with her husband in the US, so we each said that we would wait outside until she got done, we said we were not leaving. They eventally came out with 50 pesos for the gay guy and he eventually left after he told us that she had been hiding from him too. After about an hour, we saw her(from outside the house) go toward the back of the house. A few moments later her kids came and told up that their mother went out the back. They let my comp it because he had to pee, and we found out that there is no back door, she used an old mattres to scale the wall, and jump to the other side of the street, we asked a bunch of druggies on the other side if they saw her do it, and they started laughing and said that she did, my companion called our zone leader and told him that she isnt exactly a shure anymore. The moral of this story is that sometimes all you have to do is say no, instead of jumping over a 10 foot wall. And she isnt a small woman. You can tell that one to the ward for an emotional story........
