Funny quotes

hello everybody!
this has been a crazy week and i don't have much time. but let me just tell you about my two favorite/craziest investigators right now, isaac and rigo. they are really sweet and trying to change their lives around. they are actually making tons of progress. they came to church this week and have been cutting way back on their substance abuse. but just let it be known that they are breaking about every single commandment known to mankind in every way possible. i will not tell you much more about them, rather, i will write a list of quotes they said from this week. sister petersen and i thought about the best ones and made a list:

the other night we drove down their street to visit with one of their neighbors. we see them walking across the street, book of mormon in hand. we asked them where they were coming from:
"we were just sitting at the canal, sharing verses, relieving stress."

us: do you know what a prophet is?
"yes, prophets are like.... they're like god's soldiers."

talking about weed:
"i'm not addicted to it. i just have to have it every hour on the hour. i can stop it whenever i want."

us: are you both sober right now?
"yes."
5 minutes later:
"i'm sorry, i'm high."

"is it bad to have three girlfriends?"

"wait, you're going back to utah when this is all over? can we come with you?"

"if somebody gives you girls crap, we'll beat their @#$. you're our homies."

"i think that this bible, and the holy bible are the only ones i will ever read."

"can i like.. give you a hug?"

"wait, we can't do any drugs? what about cocaine? what about chronic? what about xanax? what about virgin mary's? what about ex? what about...(random other drugs my naive brain doesn't even know)"

"@#$!"

"i feel like.. this big right now (holding his fingers really small). you just dominated me."

"my brother is the anti-christ."

"i just need someone to slap me around."

convo, telling them not to fight people:
"wait... what about boxing and UFC fighting. is that okay?"
-yeah, you can box. go for it.
"cool, because there's this underground cagefighting that i want to do on weekends. you can get lots of money."
-wait.. is it illegal?
"yes."
-no you can't do it.

"i mean, you mormons are actually legit. walkin' around, rain or snow.. helpin' a thug in need. you don't see any other #$%#rs doing that."

after we made a quit smoking plan:
"can i sign it in blood?"

"i'm in a band now. rap. we flow. we're called mac-town thugs."

"i'm sober today!"
-good job! (high five) i'm so proud!!
"nobody's ever told me that before.."

end.

those are just a few of the ridiculous things that have come out of their mouths. we've made a lot of progress with them this week though. their quotes make them sound more hopeless than they really are. they are great guys and they are really trying hard to change their lives around.

anyway, the baptism went through this weekend. little jacob estrada. he's so adorable. so we ended the month with a baptism. this week was super long. we worked really hard. we got five people at church though which is a miracle in itself. we're excited for november and i know that some more miracles are coming our way. hope everyone is doing well in your side of the country/world.

love,
britt
