Come talk to this guy about God.....
So here's the setting. Elder fullmer and I in Dapper short sleeve white shirts for the first time since august, walking up to a less-active members house. A black Dodge Caravan drives up and we hear someone yelling at us
SARAH (the Driver, a Tattooed piearced pink haired woman):Hey! come here Jesus Men! My friend in the back is a Satanist.
ELDER FULLMER (My Super stellar companion, and trainee): What brought you to that?
DAVID (A super Skinny small man with long gray hair and a beard, cooly smoking a cigarette in the back seat): Ya when I was 5 I ran away from Home a joined a cult.
ELDER FULLMER: 😶
HEMI (Another tatted up lady in the front passenger seat, very pierced): He's actually lying, though I was raised in a cult
Well we proceeded to have a great conversation actually, they challenged us on a lot of the off ball questions, like polygamy and we told them how it was. Hemi actually answered most of the questions, and we found out she was actually an awesome former investigator. She even knew about the FLDS and RLDS groups! Half the time Sarah was filming us, but at the end she said " I came over because I was hoping to tease you!" I was hoping you would yell hellfire and Damnation at David, but you're too nice!"
ELDER JOHNSON: "Well you can still tease us if you want"
Hemi left us with some wisdom I really appreciated. she Said "Always be yourself. be 100% genuine, cause people these days can't stand it if you're fake." and I love it. I think this is something Many people struggle with today. As a missionary especially we are expected to be someone, but more and more I realize God just want's me for myself! So in short, Be Yourself! love yourself!
Well we left as unlikely friends and then proceeded to finally meet with the less active we'd been trying to get a hold of! well I'm out of time, but I love ya'll!
Here are a lot of pictures, I hope you enjoy them. I have a picture in the snow there, that was about a week and a half a go. the next one is of us at a booth, it was 20 degrees there! so warm! The weather is so bipolar, I don't understand how people live their entire lives here! that can't be healthy.
