Ha.
You possibly might be wondering why I have such an apostate title. Well I
have an experience to share with thee. While in the act of walking down
the road, knocking upon every domicile in sight, I and my companion Elder
Budding, happened upon a red-eyed(stoned) man stumbling around talking to
nobody in particular. We are to share our message with any soul we should
come upon and with this commandment in mind we commenced chatting with the
craze. We started amicably speaking with him until he saw our name tags
and he got all wide eyed and started yelling about polygamist settlers and the
such. We waited till he calmed down and after about 2 minutes of cursing,
wailing, and nashing of teeth we told him a little bit about the pioneers and
about a musical our stake was putting on called A Stone Rolling Forward which
was about the pioneers. He stared at us for 4 seconds, then burst into
jovial laughter saying that that was a great name for the play! We didn't know
why he thought it was so funny until he said the name back to us: "The
Stoned Be Rolling!" He kept on laughing and walked away and wouldn't
listen to us anymore as we tried to keep the conversation going in order to
baptize the poor chap. So anyways. That was the story behind that.
The play was actually
really good. It was about a missionary about to leave on his mission and
then it goes into some accounts of his family history and how he came to be to
be a missionary. We were actually in it at the end welcoming him into the
MTC! Ha so now I can check "Be in a play" off my bucket
list. We got Marilu to come to it though and one of the branch member's
non-member mom got super interested in the pioneers so we are going to watch 17
Milagros with her this Thursday! The work is rolling forward in many
different ways!
So update on the
investigators!
Marilu- Still going
strong! She's living the Word of Wisdom now and is reading the Book of
Mormon more and more! We also had a baptism and confirmation of an 8 year
old in the branch on Sunday so she was able to come to that!
The baptism was super spiritual, but more and more people kept showing up
throughout the baptism and by the end you could hardly hear cause there were so
many children!! Anyways, she said she felt the spirit so score!!
Erick- What a
bum. He's been avoiding us all week, so not a good sign, but we are going
to nab him one of these days and get him to tell us how his prayers went!
Tim- Bailed out on us on
Wednesday, but says he still wants to listen to us so we are going to try him Thursday
this week!
Finding finding and
more finding! We hopefully will get another investigator after we teach
that lady who was interested in the play.
So I love you all and
remember the power of prayer!!!
ORAN SIEMPRE!
Con Amor,
Elder Frame
