I Sent This Letter And It Didn't Send. My Bad. I Guess I Am Apostate For Sending This At 8:52

This week, we had just parked our car after somehow ending up on the hill. We got out of the car, and the second we stepped out, it started dumping rain, and I mean, dumping rain. I had this feeling to keep going and go outside, so I did. It was like horribly bad rain, so we tried to run to the closest apartment. We were trying to run under the porch when this lady let us in. We started talking and thanking her for letting us under her porch, and she told us some stuff. We continued talking, and I just said, "Yeah, it's so hard to know right from wrong these days with the religions because the Bible has been translated way too much, and they took out books, and everyone interprets it a different way." It was literally the most simple sentence that I wasn't even thinking about, and she just stared me in my eyes and said, "Are you a spy? Were you listening to my phone last night?" Dead serious. "I said that exact thing to my son on the phone last night." She just kept staring at me, and I'm like, "Ma'am, I have no idea who you are or what you are talking about. I am just trying to share the restoration, and now you are staring into my soul."

The Holy Ghost works wonders sometimes. God is way too in the details of everyone's life. I'm not a spy; I'm just a little 20-year-old boy.

Then we convinced her to let us call her and meet with her. "You are breaking my one rule: no religion with anyone." I guess I helped her break her one rule. Wait till she's baptized, ayyyyyyy! She's gonna be baptized on December 25th, calling it right now. I'm dreaming of a white Christmas.

We found a lot of really cool people and taught a lot of really good lessons.

One lesson we had this week was just absolutely psycho, not for anything, but the topics of the lesson were just chaotic. So, we met this guy (me and Elder Teuscher, his last day) named Jeffrey. He's actually super cool, so we went over there and talked to him. He's a Seventh-Day Adventist, so he has Sabbath day struggles. Anyways, we decided to teach him the plan of salvation, and we got to our life on Earth, and he's like, "So, is our life just a giant test then?" And I'm like, "Yes, that's exactly what it is." And then he's like, "What about the Sabbath day?" We went off on that and brought it back to the plan of salvation. Then he's like, "I've talked with a member from your church before at the airport. Is it true you can't have sexual relationships outside marriage?" "Yes, that is true." So we taught him chastity, then we tried to bring it back into the plan of salvation, and he goes, "Abraham was a polygamist, and the Bible used to have a lot of polygamy..." I cut him off and said, "Yes, Joseph Smith was a polygamist." And he goes, "Who's Joseph Smith?" I was like, "Uhhhh..." Anyways, I explained it all, and then we taught him the restoration and polygamy.

It was a chaotic lesson.
