Catholic Priests And Saving People From Burning Cars

Hello there, (if you know that quote your a g)

What a week in the liahona ward, holy crap. Things have been nuts, in a fantastic way. From getting bashed by a catholic priest, to saving someone from a car fire, to getting a new comp that may be a bigger star wars fan than me, to the popeyes chicken sandwich, things have been good, yuh yuh yuh.

Numero Uno:
We went to a Tongan party at a catholic church this week, we got invited to it by our members. We thought it would be a great chance to get some member trust and meet some tongans! Well, the dinner started super late, like 3 hours late, that's tongan time. We sat at our table for 40 minutes and decided we needed to walk around and meet people. So we made it our goal to talk to every single person at the party and introduce ourselves. It was awesome, the tongan people are so kind! We got to the last person at the party, and it was the catholic priest. We said "Hello!", and he said "what are you doing". He then sat us down for 40 minutes and bashed us, told us that we were proselytizing in his church, which we weren't, and we told him that, and was trying to get us to convert him. It was a crazy experience, he was also drunk because there was alcohol at the party. It was nuts, nevertheless, a fun memory and a scary one too haha.

Numero dose:
We were at a service project with our members and on our way home we saw a car on fire. We whipped our car around and pulled over. No one was doing anything but a guy with a hose that could even reach the car haha. Anyways, this probably was not a good idea but we opened the car door to make sure that no one was inside, there wasn't, but the fire blew up even more because it got air flow. We quickly stepped away because the fire was huge, but we had to close the door so it would not get bigger, so my comp sprinted at the car, closed it and sprinted back, the fire truck showed up and sprayed it down, it was a hype experience. Lowkey the car may not be working anymore which is a mega L. Poor guy that owns it.

Numero trace:
My new comp is a G. His name is Elder Brazier, absolute unit and dawg. He loves star wars, and so do I, so we get along great. We've been having a lot of fun and gettin so much work done. We only cover liahona now instead of that and the YSA so we have gotten so much work done. It has been hype!

Finally: Popeys.
I love popeyes, go get yourself a popeyes chicken sandwich, it's the most underrated sandwich out there, it needs more respect. We've been running that place multiple times this week, sending prayers for the owner of Popey's, they take care of the Lord's missionaries.

I love you everyone, have a wonderful week, it's my comp's birthday this next week so send a happy birthday Elder Brazier and I'll show him the birthday wish. Nofua eh!

Ofa Atu,
Elder Rosenlund

Shellom y'all, This has propbably been the most busy and chaiotic week of my mission yet. Between training a new elder, managing 20+ people being taught, 40+ potentials who could be taught, two wards I'm brand new to, high maintainance barely active members, and much more, I have been swamped with things to do. It has been insane! My very first day of the transfer in the Ashton park ward, a person they were teaching called and says she wants to be baptized! LETS GO THAT IS HYPE...however, this has caused so many problems. She has lots of questions and does not want to follow the commandments in the word of wisdom so we cant really baptized her yet. Since then, she has been looking into much anti about our church and wont stop sending it to us. It has been crazy!  Something funny, we went to a mental hospital to visit an inactive member. It was his birthday. He is also skitzafrenic or however you spell it. He asked how our sunday was, we told him that we had 6 hours of church be...

Go Chiefs!!!!

Well....This was a good week! The chiefs won the super bowl! I was super sad that I could not watch the game, but I am so happy either way. Everyone around me is 49ers fans so I'm the only one happy in my area. This week was not just happy feeling though, it was full of all sorts of feelings. I had to say good bye to all of my District and friends in the MTC. Super sad to say good bye but in the end, we are all where we are supposed to be.  When I arrived in Sacramento California, I was immedietly greated by my mission president and the zone leaders! They are all super awesome and Sacramento is amazing. But I do not get to experience it. I currently am typing in a cabbin. Me and my companion, Elder Bartholomew who is awesome!, got thrown into a area where they have not had missionaries in years! Its called George Town and its way up in the mountains. The members here are so excited that we are here and I have not had to worry about making dinner a single night. I live in the middle...
