"On tuesday i got in a speed walking battle with someone on the street,lol. It was this little 5 foot nothing guy and i have seen him before but usually he is on the side of the road talking to friends when we walk by every morning but on tuesday he was walking and he sped up to walk with us and he was joking around about how tall i am and talking about where we were from and then he sped up in head of us and looked back and made fun of me because im so tall and he was out walking me. He was like "See son this is how you walk" and his little legs were going fast and his arms were pumping fast,lol. Then i sped up and started to pass him and then he sped up and we were about even and he told me that i lost my companion and i looked back and my companion wasnt playing along and he was way back so i had to stop. So everyday now we see him and stop and talk to him but he gives me a hard time because i guess i need to find a new companion to keep up with me and him,lol. So today i told my companion to stay close and we saw him walking today and i came up behind him and was like what the matter old man not feeling good today,lol, and he called me a budallah which is a fool, lol, and he sped up and we walked about 5 minutes dodging in and out of people on tiny sidewalks. It was so much fun. Then we stopped and he gave me a hug and pretty much said good job. I just hope he doesnt expect that from me every day,lol.
Another story, this week we met with an old investigator named Agron. He lives outside the city a little and we stopped meeting with him about 4 months ago because he had a bunch of problems but i decided to give him a month ago but he kept hanging up on me so last week i was just like alright fine i will give it one last chance and i sent him a text telling him to meet us at the church not thinking of it and out of nowhere this week he came! We sat down and talked for about 35 minutes and he has stopped smoking for 4 months now, he has found a place to live, he has begun to read the Book of Mormon (which is big because he used to refuse and only read the bible), and he is looking for a job ( he used to work for the military). He looked way healthier and so much happier. We met him 2 times this week and he is a completely different person. I'm really hoping he will find a job because if he doesnt soon he made the decision to go to Greece or Italy to work."
