I remember seeing a picture of one of our Zone Leaders where he was goofing with one of the Sisters. They had their arms around each other and he was wearing only the pajama bottom, while she was wearing only the matching top."The mind is not a boomerang.

As a DL interviewed a young couple. Really nice people and Elders were so excited.
Committment to live WOW, sincere testimonies born, one hitch.
During individual interview wife admitted to being in an affair. Told me she would end it soon. Told her she couldn't be baptized. She and I were in tears. I can't remember what I said, but I remember being compassionate and admonishing her to end it and get counseling. If she eventually repented assured her she could someday be baptized. I was in a daze.
The two Elders were pissed I wouldn't clear her. Right or wrong, I wouldn't give them the reason and just said I didn't feel she was ready. How do you know? It even got to accusing me of thinking I more spiritual than I really was and then rehearsed some faults of mine they knew about like wearing loud ties. Right or wrong, I didn't think I should tell them or her husband.
Lot of responsibility on a young novice. Interviewing for baptism was really a neat and spiritual experience and best part of my whole mission, except those I taught who accepted the Gospel. This one time I truly felt I was in way over my head.Comment

No. I "affectionately" called him Elder Ronald McDonald (he was a Ginger with massive feet). To top it all off, he was a total cock blocker with this other chick* I was into in this same small campo town. Not cool... I mean c'mon dude, it's either ok for both of us or not ok for either.Originally posted by Colly Wolly View Post
* - she was at least 18, unlike Elder McDonald that liked them younger...

Oh, this guy had been working on the set up for a long time, and the girl was no investigator. Turns out the dude had been sneaking out of his apartment at night when the other missionaries were asleep and meeting up with this local clique of friends and riding scooters all over the city. He knew the girl through this clique.Originally posted by Tim View PostComment

I don't buy this one. There is no clubbing in campinas, amazing hot dogs, but no clubbing.Elder liked to party, but had lots of baptisms, so mostly forgotten. Showed off pictures of clubbing in Campinas, but this wasn't Campinas mission. Made trainer. Started having overnight splits with one of the sisters. Greenie Elder and Sister get transferred, Elder and Sister sleep-over get sent home.

Prior to being my comp, elder woken up in the night by his comp. Companion wanted backdoor sex. My comp beats hell out of gay missionary. Homosexual sent home next day, my comp stays. Not fair. Next week, Jeffrey visits mission. Inspiring talk by apostle.I'm like LeBron James.

Heard rumor about missionaries in Japan used font for hot tub. Sister missionaries and elders both. Was baptized in swimming pool myself. Others in ocean.Comment

If they were like the fonts we had on my Japan mission, I'd think this was a myth. Sheets of plywood covered in plastic sheeting on the missionarys' outside deck with the [hot] water coming from a hose in the kitchen does not make for much of a hot tub experience...Originally posted by Colly Wolly View PostComment
