What a day!

Well I guess here is a story for the week. We were driving out east to see an investigator that built his own house. He lives in a little shed thing that has tarps for the roof and is way ghetto. He is about 50 has huge eyes that kinda pop out of his head. He shaved his head in a mow-hawk/mullet thing. Hes kinda fat because his belly fills up with water and has a hernia so he has this huge lump on him too, it looks like an alien is living in him. The point is he look pretty scary and lives in a ghetto house but he is one of the funniest and coolest guys. He is supposed to get baptized on September 29th but just got surgery so we don't know if he will make that date. Anyway, its hard to get to his house anyway, but then its started rain. It gets super muddy so we were trying to get to his house as fast as we could. When it rains down here too you better watch out because everything turns into rivers. We got to his house and I knock and I heard him say something but you couldn't hear it but at the end i heard him say come in so I hopped in and shut the door behind me so I wouldn't get soaked. I turned around and saw him standing there naked. I was like oh I'm sorry and he was just like go back out to the truck. So I ran out there and told my companion because he stayed in the truck and was gonna come when the door was open. After about 10 minutes we went back in his house and started to teach a lesson. I told him I was sorry and he was like you should knock or something before you come in. About 5 minutes into the lesson his house pretty much started flooding and he doesn't have any towel so we were trying to use his clothes and then I knocked over his big pot of water that he was using for bath water. I looked back at him right when this happened and he put his head in his hands and said why is this happening to me. I felt soooo bad. First of all I saw him naked and now I'm flooding his "house". After we cleaned it up we went out side and tried to patch up some holes with some plastic he had. The rain drops were so big they were hurting so we stayed out as long as we could and then told him we were late for a lesson so we left after making a huge mess. We got in our truck and the road was about a foot deep river but that didn't stop us. We were determined to get to our next lesson, but we ran into a problem. We got to a part of the road that was about 3 feet deep. We started boon docking in the hills and sage brush but finally got back to a road we could drive on. We started speeding down the road going about 50 and we started fish tailing. After doing a couple fish tales we started spinning. I was waiting for us to hit something and crash but we some how stayed right in the middle of the road. We had a pretty bad trip up to Jay Westovers house but we are here and not hurt or stuck so I take it as a blessing in my life. Ill get a pic of his house and hopefully a pic of Jay and I will send it to you guys. I hope at least some of you laughed at this because even though it was rough the whole day we laughed about it for a super long time after we got home and we had a sleep over so I told every one in our area and they all loved it. It makes a pretty good story. Love all you guys! Try to spread the good word and be the best person you can be!
