Hello how's it going? It's good to hear that the drive
back wasn't too bad. Although finding Lilly seemed like it was an adventure;
you should probably update the info on her caller so the pound can just call
next time. Hope you get some down time this week to enjoy the sun. Also
speaking of down time, tell Seth to write me I'd like to hear from him. Anyway this week was odd very, very odd.
Tuesday was spent running around trying to meet people and
we were able to talk to a few just in passing but nothing substantial.
Wednesday was funny. We had talked to a lady the week
before who told us to come by because she needed help, so we came by when we
said and she let us in. To make a long story somewhat shorter it turned out
that the help she wanted was to have us testify in open court against some
credit union that was "beating people up". We of course told her that
we couldn't do that because we hadn't seen that happening or even entered the
credit union she was referring to; she then spent the next five minutes ranting
on how we were heathens of the devil who were "telling stories" and
taking quarter of a million dollar bribes from the before-mentioned credit union.
So as politely as we could, we excused ourselves and proceeded on with our day
with something new to talk about. On a more spiritual note we then went and
talked with Jeff and Rachel whom we had contacted the week prior and talked
about the restoration. Jeff and Rachel were extremely excited to see us we had
an extremely good conversation about Joseph Smith and the Book of Mormon, which
Rachel had said she had begun to read again before we came to visit.
Thursday was good it was mostly taken up by meetings, but
we were able to meet with a member who said he would come to church if Elder Solomon
was speaking.
Friday was more running around.
Saturday was great we were able to talk with Rachel at the
Andelins (a really fun family in the ward) about the plan of salvation. The
best part was that Brother and Sister Andelin took and active role in the
discussion and brought up points of doctrine in such a way that they were
applicable to everyday life.
Sunday was interesting after church we went around and
talked with members and went to the Christmas devotional. The Christmas devotional
was good and was made better because Sister Andelin brought her neighbor to see
it at the church. This week looks way
busy. Tomorrow we'll be in St Louis
With Love
