His Eyes are Magical

First of all Jaydan said that the people think that he can change the color of his eyes on demand. His eyes will change from really blue to really green and the people are so amazed at that and ask him to do it for them. Jaydan tries to convince them that he has nothing to do with it that it just happens.

This was a busy week. Lots happening but Jaydan said he really did have time to tell us about it. (big teaser.....of course he will tell us about it)

They had an activity for the less active members at the Church were they watched a short movie and had food. There were only a few members there and so the others (less active) knew this activity really was for them and was successful. Jaydan said it was super cool and there were a lot that came and participated.

The missionaries had a family home evening with a recently converted family. The two kids are baptized but not the parents. They had it at "Barbies" house. The ward calls her that because she is the prettiest in the ward. She is reaching out to these two girls though and really trying to help them. When the missionaries went to pick up the family they found out that the dad wasn't going to go with them. It was because the mom didn't want him staring at "Barbie" since she thinks that he would cheat on her. The moms name is Natalia and the dad is David. David was upset that she would think that he would cheat on her after 16 years of marriage. So they had it without David. Natalia was being a jerk to the missionaries. She wasn't acting like herself at all.. Natalia was saying the missionaries or Jaydan's comp was going to marry "Barbie" and take her home with them. She just kept putting them all down. (a little jealous I'd say) It was upsetting everyone and finally Jaydan told her to be quiet. She just laughed and kept it up. Jaydan's comp also tried to get her to stop but she wouldn't. Needless to say the lesson didn't go well. They ended up playing a game together instead. Jaydan felt bad for "Barbie" since she had been working so hard with the girls and was trying to help them and to have Natalia act like that and be so unkind.

Jaydan loved Conference. He thought it was super, super cool. His favorite talks were by Elder Scott and the talke about the to do lists and the to be lists. Elder Scotts got me cause I had so many people in my mind during it all and so I loved it. It just hit Jaydan for the good. All the talks were super good and Jaydan loved the whole conference. An Evangelical pastor named Olga came and really liked it too. She told the Elders she wasn't sure how she was going to tell the pastors she wouldn't be going to their church anymore.

Well this week really was one of the best weeks ever. Jaydan learned a lot, had a successful activity with the less activities and some more good experiences that he couldn't tell us about.
