News Flash - (Music plays in the background)

Welcome to the missionary news flash.  Our top story; there is a giant piece of wood spinning in city hall today.  
And that's our Top story.

They Tell Me I Loom Like a Russian

If you are expecting another long email like the last one you will be sorely disappointed, I'm not actually a novelist and I'm typing all of this on a tiny little Samsung phone.

Well, we had a lot of lessons planned for longer than a couple weeks with some members and less active this last week.  They all canceled at the last second so we quite a few blitzes.  We also did lots of tracting.

During a blitz a few days ago, we were called by the Elders we dropped off. They told us that they had forgotten their gloves in the car.  So we had to tell them where the car was, and we had to meet them there, because I like to lock our vehicle in shady neighborhoods.

When we first saw the other Elders we saw somebody walking away from them, and we thought that they had already talked to her so we almost passed her by, but the elders were waving desperately at us to talk to her, so we did.

As we talked to her we found that she was super into reading the bible and going to church.  She said that she started going to a church in some other town and that she has good friends there.  She also told us that she has a good relationship with Heavenly Father.  She then told us she would be super into reading the Book of Mormon, and with us visiting her sometime in the future!  Unfortunately this was not our area, ,so we are not the ones who would to teach her.

Remember one of those appointments we had scheduled that fell through?  Well... a miracle happened, because of one of these failures.  We were walking 2 miles to this lesson we had planned and in the downtime we have together, my companion and I get to talk, but that's irrelevant.  While we arrived at the apartment complex where the appointment was, we bumped into a guy who was smoking.  

We are Putting Candy into Boxes at the Food Bank
After we got to know him a little bit (his name is Sean). We found that he had just been incredibly humbled by these past few days.  For example, he in the previous day was in a car crash, lost his phone, and his friend in the passenger seat wasn't wearing a seatbelt.  He found that his friend might have lost his memory and has long cancer, all in the same hospital visit.  His boss also put him on leave so he could work through his issues, and that was in the previous day! Don't get me started on the rest of the week. Anyway, he was super open to meeting with us in the future, and even going to church.  He told us that "all religions are wrong, because they are all the same"  What? 

Welp that is the most of what happened, the sisters met a guy who wrote songs with Van Halen, but that's about it.
It was a lot of Candy



Thanks for all you guys do for me, even the small things.
