Cavemen

Jaydan's comp being spiderman
little kid with the mask on backwards
Jaydan loves watermelons
Jaydan got his arm caught in a fan and blood sprayed everywhere
First thing...Jaydan assured me that he isn't doing anything super bad. He said it is just hard to keep all the rules when you are the Junior comp and when your companion is trunky and not wanting to work hard. Jaydan is trying to encourage him and said that he is noticing a change. Others are also encouraging the Elders to work hard. There are just a few little things that they still need to work on. He said: "no worries mom-you know I have the desire for obedience so it's all good."
The office is really messing up and the Elders haven't been reimbursed for five weeks now. It's really hard to live without them. Jaydan doesn't like having to use his personal money but is having to often. (he's not liking that at all)
While on the bus headed for the main city Jaydan was sitting across from the two men who are in the Cave Men commercials...the ones that say "even a caveman can do that." Jaydan said they look exactly the same and he really wanted to get their autograph but chicken out. (no fame for him now)
They were able to find a family of three this week. All three members of the family belong to a different religion. They were great to talk with and had a ton of good questions. When they heard how big our family was they told Jaydan he had his own tribe at home waiting for him. (should I be offended?....I'm not) Jaydan thought it was pretty funny. These people also made fun of Jaydan for wanting to be a masseuse when he gets home. He said they kind of insinuated that he might be gay since they thought that only women did that kind of work. Jaydan told them that wasn't true at all but thought they were pretty sick anyway.
Two of Jaydan's best investigators and most likely to be baptized are Jehovah Witnesses. I guess the missionaries are always trying to get JW's and here Jaydan has two. One of them goes to church every week but her Uncle who is a less active member doesn't want the missionaries to teach her. That is a bit of a problem that they are working with. The other one just needs to get married. They are both really cool and so they may have two JW's this change.
The Zone is doing good and really working hard. (kicking it as Jaydan put it) The members are doing better and they are working on the quality of people and preparing those better who get baptize.
The Book of Mormon thing with the members is catching on and they are seeing good things happening. Jaydan is noticing some good changes happening in this area which really needed some change.
Today for pday they played soccer. (is there any other sport in other countries?) Jaydan is learning to play goalie and did pretty good today. He blocked the ball with his face and gut a few times today but his team ended up winning. He only got the wind knocked out of him once and that was only for a few seconds. He really like playing.
