I was home from my mission, and I was sitting in the living room with my family, just talking ad hanging out. A girl I had been dating was also there, and I was preparing to ask her to marry me. I had three rings, but they all had 'handles' and looked like small mugs with no bottoms. She preferred one of them, and I gave it to her. We showed it to my mom, who didn't like it at all, and she insisted I get a new one. I promised my now-fiancée I would get her something unusual.

Dream #1

We were in a small house, and when we went outside there was a huge snake. It kept striking at me, and it eventually bit me on the left thumb. I started freaking out, but no one else was worried. I put a bag of ice on it, and I called the medical supervisor. She told me not to worry about it. It started hurting, and as soon as I knew the poison was really working, I woke up.

Dream #2

We went to the store, and I was the only one that went in. I only needed something quick, but I ended up looking at all the ipods, and a salesman was telling me about how one really nice one was normally $749, but was on sale for $200. It had tv and everything on it, but I didn't buy it. I ended up going to the toy section and stealing a bright orange AK-47 airsoft gun. I left and went to the car, and we (me, Elder White, and some girl) drove to a mountain. (We were in a red Corvette.) We climbed up a hill and I started trying to hit a target through a hole in some branches with the airsoft gun. I was leaning on a tree since we were on a steep hill, and the tree ripped out of the ground. It rolled down the hill and slammed into the Corvette, but it didn't damage it.

We were in the apartment and we saw a big car go past which looked like it was being driven by a little girl. It stopped in the field behind the apartment so I went to check it out. It turned out to be full of girls aged 8-11, and the girl driving kept saying she was 16 or 18. I asked to see her license, but she wouldn't let me see it. (she obviously didn't have one.) I put the parking brake on and went back inside. I came out a little later and they were still there, trying to get the car going. I took off the parking brake and decided to drive them myself wherever they were going. They were just going home, so I drove them there. On the way we saw a bunch of accidents and police cars driving by. I told the girls that they could have easily gotten in an accident, and to drive the point home, I told them we could've had to swerve, (as I swerved) but when I did there was an accident right in front of us and I really did have to swerve. Unfortunately, the accident took up most of the road, and I hit a truck, but not very hard. We were all fine and we kept going. We got to their house, (actually it was their brother's house, and it was huge) and I parked in the backyard. I told them to start looking for the car's registration, as I figured the police would be coming soon. After much looking, we didn't find it. One of the girls (a bigger 13 year old) tried to flirt with me but I pushed her away. The police never came, so we didn't need the registration.

We were hiking along a trail in the mountain, and we kept seeing really cool rocks, so a couple of us decided to try and sell them at a rock shop. Elder Jordan and his "assistant" kept taking all the good ones for themselves, but I found a huge one buried in the trail and I was excited.

I went into a store with some friends, and the lady running the store started telling us about her home, and asking us if we wanted to go there. She was from a town in Italy near Rome called Miercoles. I asked her some questions about Italian pronunciation, and she gave everyone a paper with proper Italian pronunciation on it. she put on a video of her town, and it ended up being of a study abroad. At first I thought I recognized some people, then I realized it was the program I went on in 2005. All of a sudden I was there, back on the study abroad, and we were walking around looking at a monument. It was on/in a big hill, and we all started running up it, trying to be the first to the top. When we arrived, a couple kids said something to be the first to say anything from the top. I was following a girl that had "Paige Anderson" written on some tape on her back, but it wasn't really Paige - it was only an actress. It started raining hard when we were up there, and I stood in the rain, wearing shorts and a jacket. It was a very cold rain however, and soon we all went inside. We were in a big room with lots of games/video games/computers. I went to one to play Super Mario World, but all of a sudden, I knew I was working for a rich guy who had hundreds of employees. He came and got me to work in another part of the house. He had me wait for a bit, and there were computers there with a game of Starcraft going on, so I played for awhile. (I was terran, there were five other zerg players, some were on my team, some weren't.) The game ended with a cinematic, and I was trying to exit out of all the screens when he came back. He gave me a wax glove/towel thing and a magazine, and he asked me to wax the pages of the magazine so they wouldn't get ruined. At first I didn't know how, but eventually I got the hang of it. He kept asking me to put more wax on each page - to "pile it on thick." He left, and a random lady started talking to me while I waxed.

I was at some small-town convenience store, cashing a check or something, and I accidentally left a letter from a girl. When I came back, the girl behind the counter (the girl who lives upstairs) handed it to me, along with a note of her own encouraging me to keep going. A little later we went to the house of Brother Scott, but he was acting really weird. We talked with him for awhile, then left and tracted into the Pope. We had a good conversation, and actually hung out with the Pope for a while. We started talking about Adam and Eve, and I brought up something that would be blasphemous to the Pope, but he had left by then. We all became good friends, and we hung out with him often.

We were at transfer calls, and the Zone Leaders said I was staying in Yeringon, (but somehow it was in Vegas) and I was getting a different Elder Adams as my companion.

We were meeting together to go on a big preparation-day activity. Bishop Green was there, and Brother Mitchell, along with several other members, and they all had their RVs. Brother Cooper kept backing up his RV really fast trying to get it ready. I ended up outside when they started, and I started walking through town with another Elder who was riding his bike. We went through a big tunnel-like place, where there was a parade going on. We passed a bunch of Safeway employees marching in the parade, and one of the girls in a grey polo shirt looked at us and, thinking we were something other than missionaries, said, "Hey, I want some candy." I looked at her and said, "Hey, me too!" and we kept walking. We passed some cheerleaders going the wrong way, and then we came out of the other side. We were looking for all the RVs,because I wanted to go on the activity (whatever it was). The Elder I was walking with was really apathetic and he didn't care about anything. We were at a junction in the desert, and we started down the road to Fallon, NV, hoping to see them in the distance. When we didn't, I assumed they hadn't gotten that far yet, (they had to go around the tunnel) so we started back.
