Another week.
I dont really know what to say about this one. Ill just say
work is rough right now and Ill leave it at that.
On a brighter note, one of the stores here started selling
Dr Pepper! Its kinda expensive, but still! So ive got Dr Pepper and crunchy
peanut butter. Life is good!
I got Cheryls birthday card! Tell her thanks so much and
that I love her!
One cool experience from this week. We were doing strada,
and not having a ton of success. Finally, one guy stopped. We went through
three gospel principles with him, but he didnt care at all. So I was thinking
"This is the only guy who has stopped all night, there is no way hes
gettin away." So I tried a "teach to find" that they suggest we
use, that ive been wanting to try for forever. I said "This book can
answer any question you might have. Try it." And then I prayed he would
ask a question that I could answer with a scripture. He said "Look man,
all I want is health." So we jumped to Mosiah 2:41. He read it, and said
"Hey, thats a good point." Annnnd long story short we have a return
appointment with him tomorrow. Pray that it happens.
I dont have a lot to report, so ill answer some
"commonly asked missionary questions." What is the question we get
asked the most? Why do I have to be baptized again. Solid question. Second most
common? How did we all come from Adam and Eve if they only had Cane and Able?
Not as solid.
What do I miss most from home? Dryers and carpet. (other
than my family and friends of course)
Sorry this is the lamest email yet, but thats whats goin on
right now! Heres one more story that I forgot to tell from a few weeks ago.
We found this guy and set a return appointment with him. We
go to the appointment, and he has us meet him in the garage. Its super creapy,
and the thought comes into my mind "Youre supposed to stand in holy
places. You arent doing that right now." He comes, and takes us into his
cantina (storage shed thing.) In there, is set up a broken table, two folding
chairs, and a crate with a single lightbulb hanging from a wire. The line from
Les Mis "Look down, look down, youre standing in your grave" came
into my mind. I can say a prayer! "Look down, look down, sweet Jesus hear
my prayer!" "Look down, look down, sweet Jesus doesnt care." But
here I am, a few weeks later, still alive.
Thats all! Hope Mom and Dad have fun in Israel. Were kind of
neighbors right now! Keep on CTRing and reading the scriptures! I love you!
