This week has been awesome! My new comp is a beast! He really is awesome. He has already taught me so much this week! He teaches in a way that all present feel loved! He is really cool and chill. I think I already told you guys about him a little bit but he is from California. He spends his time surfing and skating and mountain biking! You could say that we get along pretty well!
On Monday we had something happen to us that was super crazy! A random pitbull from the streets claimed us as his owners or something and just waited for us outside of our apartment all day. When we finally left to go work in the afternoon he followed us everywhere so we gave him a name and his name is Brutus! It was pretty funny at first because he was just being crazy. After walking for about 30 minutes we finally got to the house of our investigator. When we got there a bunch of other dogs ran out and started barking at Brutus. Brutus went crazy and bit one of the smaller dogs on the neck and just tossed it around like a rag doll! Brutus would not leg go of the dog so me and Elder Ellertson started acting out of emergency. I grabbed a stick on the ground and smashed it on Brutus' back and it barely phased him. We started throwing rocks and stuff and he finally dropped the dog. By the time he let go of the little dog there was blood everywhere and its neck was ripped open! My comp, out of shock I think, picked up the little dying dog off the road and Brutus tried to eat it out of his arms! Elder Ellertson put it on top of a car and we started yelling and searching for the owner. That was so crazy! I was so mad at Brutus that I grabbed a brick and tried to kill him with it! I'm a terrible throw so he was fine. We left after the owner of the dog came out to save his little doggy. Brutus still followed us and we got to a main street and told some cops and they were supposedly going to come back with someone to take care of the dog. They didn't come back. We decided it would be impossible to teach if Brutus was killing the dogs of our investigators so we hopped in a taxi to lose him. He chased after the taxi for so long! The taxi driver was so shocked at how big Brutus is and how fast he ran! We finally lost him when we got to the freeway. The rest of the day went well once we lost him! The next day, to our surprise, we woke up to Brutus barking at us in our 4th floor apartment! He found his way back to the apartment! Longer story short, we had to pray that Brutus would be sleeping when we left and stuff so that he wouldn't follow us. It worked because we managed to sneak past him the next 3 days. On Thursday he disappeared! I think he finally understood that our relationship was never going to work!
Oh golly, mission stories are the best!
I love you guys! I hope all is well back in the USA! Happy holidays! I miss you like crazy!
