Suddenly, a shot rang out!
Actually it wasn't, and it didn't.
So about a transfer ago we were waiting at the main bus station in
Corvallis waiting to meet up with sisters to give them their baptismal record
for one of their converts when this man sat down next to us. We struck up a
conversation and it turned out he had attended an LDS church quite a bit in the
past. He seemed to enjoy talking to us, but when he asked if we could teach him
he said no. We gave him a card with our names and number, then we left cuz the
sisters weren't coming.
Saturday during Priesthood Session we got a message from someone named Ron
who said he had a card with our names and phone number on it. We looked through
our records and couldn't find anyone by that name. So we called him back. That
was a strange conversation. He was just chatting with us like we were his best
friends, stopping to talk to his cat (Blondie), and telling us he was going to
buy us Christmas presents. He also told us he was on pain meds so he was kind
of loopy. That explained it. We set up an appointment for Sunday night and
hung up bewildered.
Then on Sunday we met with him in his tiny little one room apartment. At
that point of course we remembered what had happened two paragraphs ago and knew
who he was. It was crazy because we give those cards out all the time, but no
one had ever called us back before. We chatted about the gospel, but mostly
just listened to what he had to say. By the end of the conversation Elder
Boswell and I both felt like he needed to hear the Plan of Salvation, so we
specifically asked if we could come over the next night to teach him that. He
accepted.
Yeah it's been a prooty good week.
Love you all so much!

P.S. - Aw dang, I was going to say I love the rain jacket! Ever since they lightened
up the dress code I have an aversion to black things to I'm glad it's blue.
Thanks! <3
P.S.S. - Oh, and conference was the greatest thing ever. I need to read through all the
talks before I even take in half of what was said. Too bad it's over!
