Tuesday:
I've been off my game lately with the lack of detail i'm putting into my journal entries. Yesterday I wrote of how stupid those missionaries were for breaking mission rules. I screwed up today with mission rules. I'm going to write in detail of how i screwed up. Since i'm down to my last month in the mission (noticed how i'm justifying my action) I wanted to make sure i had all the gifts I want to bring home to my parents. We went to the cone day (it's where missionaries buy gifts) and spent a great deal of time shopping. We were making stops all over the capitol and I decided to make one last stop at the photo shop. I needed to pick up my last roll of film i developed and that's where it all happened. I noticed the AP's driving down the road and they immediately made eye contact with us. They pulled up beside us and asked what we are doing, I replied back, "shopping". Then I asked, "are we in trouble", he responds, "I don't know are you". The guilt hit me as i knew I shouldn't have been shopping. I called the mission president to let him know that we decided to take a tour after our interview and buy gifts. He actually was really cool about it. I told him i wouldn't waste the Lords time again, and the conversation ended. Next thing you know i get a phone call from Elder Cowley. He's getting all upset with how I reported my inequities to the mission president...( I really didn't sweet coat what i was doing). The mission President called me back and gave me a stern lecture that instantly made me feel even more guilty. I've never been in trouble in the mission. This was the first and last time i'll ever do something stupid!
