Excerpts from Mom's email:
Hey Mom!
These last few days have had some interesting occurrences. We went to L...'s house the other day and we told her we were going to bring around KFC for her. She was so excited for it, she even said she had a dream about it the night before. In the dream, we were serving the sacrament, but instead of bread, it was KFC lol. Was just to funny! We have also done heaps of finding and have come across some interesting blokes. One guy we contacted immediately said "no go away" as soon as we said hi. We don't give up that easy, so then he told us why he didn't want to talk to us. Apparently someone told him in high school that Mormons worship a demon named Mormo... Never heard that one before haha. The worst part was that we tried telling him "No, no, we don't do that", but he didn't seem to want to listen haha. We honestly laughed about the whole thing.
There was also a really cool miracle yesterday. While we were finding, we see a phone number written on a fence in pen...so we call it up, but no answer. An hour later we get a call back and he asks "who is this and why did you call". We couldn't say how we got his number, so we just said we are the Missionaries from the Mormon Church and everything. Now here is the kicker. He said he has recently read through the whole Book of Mormon and he is really interested in learning more about it. He is in the Gawler area so we had to refer him, but if I ever go to that area, I would love to find out what happens with that. We feel we were inspired to call that number so who knows, he might just be baptized. If he is though, he may not ever know how we even found him.
Love you!
Excerpts from Dad's email:
Hey Dad!
Two stories ay... I told mom two already I think so I will try. We are finding new investigators slowly but surely. We found one yesterday named A... who is super keen. He told us how he is in the air force and he has the coolest stories ever. As well, he has learned a lot about Mormons from his friends who are members and he feels we are true messengers from God and will hear us out. It was kind of crazy how we met him to. It was when we were riding bikes and we are just waiting for a cross walk to turn green and he walks up next to us. We start talking to him really fast and right as the light turned green, we got his address and he said stop by so we did yesterday. Will keep you updated where that goes.
So we have been running out of K's lately. We only get 1000 a month and we have gone to the mission office I think 8 times so far which is 40 round trip. We only have around 350 left for the rest of the month, so we have been smashing the bikes! So much so that we didn't use the car once for the last few days. The funny thing is that it has been raining heaps here lately so makes things a little more interesting. Yesterday I think we road about 20 K's or so in the rain so riding to our appointments and went finding for 4 hours as well. It helps a lot though because I guess people feel sympathy for us walking around in the rain and will on occasion let us come inside. It's funny when we ride up to lights as well because we can just see people in their cars looking at us like we are crazy lol. Especially because we are laughing ourselves about it. Elder Danielsen-Jensen always says we are crazy for how fast we go on the bikes. "No normal person rides there bikes this hard" he says, but he is excited for how big his legs are going to get haha. Even with all the biking, I still feel I have gained weight. Idk if I'm crazy or what, but I think I am going to try to cut back on the amount I eat but will be hard with all the meal appointments. Well hope that counts as two stories haha.
Love ya heaps Dad! Have a good week!
