Ok so Bloomington is awesome and all joy but there's this place down the road called Peoria. It is a city where our Zone Leaders live and all that joy so there was this training thing going on and we did an exchange there. So there is this place in the south part of Peoria and it's straight ghetto I'm talking the government projects. So I was there with Elder Davis (idaho falls) going to a potentials house that wanted us to come by. So we get there and like not 3 minutes after we sit down with a lady named Joyce the door gets kicked down and 2 giant brothas come in with guns up and black masks on wanting to know where Josh and Tenisha or something like that is and we're like yelling I DON'T KNOW I DON'T KNOW WE'RE MISSIONARIES!!!! and they talked for like 10 secs and then go kick the door down next to us and there's yelling and then 5-6 shots go off and they run out and we're like freaking out and we get out of there and run for awhile cuz we were way scared. I'm not lying it happened and I have never been more scared in my life I now know what it's like to have a gun right in your face with it loaded. I was protected no douby we had to go to macdonalds and get some food cuz we were all shook up from that. I guess after talking with Elder Davis there have been like 4 shootings in that area in the past month or so.
That was crazy and the rest of the week was great we have William getting baptized at the end of the month and we're going to be having a open house for the Messiah presentation next Sunday at the church so hopefully we will be able to have some investigators come to that.
The weather is getting cold and I so still need to get some boots so I'll see if I can get some today because the feet do get cold.
Jared how was Cali?? I want to know but I won't be able to email till next Wednesday. hope that fat cat is not giving you too much trouble.
