Hey how's it going?

Oh my gosh!!! PEOPLE... Im finally better haha!!! i am no longer a sick little greenie! im just a greenie!!! ok so this week, was weird but awesome!!! cause its oregon we run into crazy people everyday!!! so Tuesday!!! Bam we ran into a man who was from the West borrow baptist church! Straight up he was like buffulo bill! and all he did was make us feel like crap! so the spirit prompted me to utter the words! "Hey Elder we have a meeting in 5 minutes... Lets go now!!" haha so that was interesting!! Then the next day we ran into this old guy whos been taking our lessons!! super chill guy we call him grandpa! he rides around on his jazzy and we teach him lessons and in return he teaches us how to fix his cars and play better pool!!! hes such a stud!!! hes so funny to! he reminds me a lot of uncle dell!! (Family will know that reference) haha

Ok now time to tell you about the person we saw the next day... dun dun dun!!! so me and my companion call her mother Teresa cause he name is teresa! so me and my comp are out walking and she runs into us and was like, "I used to be mormon once" and right there im like great what negative stuff does she have to say about our church! But dont worry she just gave us insight about her knowledge!!! and man was it good! its consisted of her saying Birds are Flying crosses and Jesus is an Alien from Mars!!! hahaha i could go on and on about her for the longest time!!! My companion thought what she was saying was Satanic, but i enjoyed every minute of it!!! I just thought of it being the closest thing to star wars that ill get!!! man she was fun!!! 

Now throughout the week we ran into all sorts of people!! from hippees to crack addicts to a bum that was stabbed 18 times and survived!! Oregon is Definately the stew of America! But it was until I met a man Who is actually a convert to the church! in fact he was born into it!! and man o man!!! he has the biggest testimony ever... but for the longest time he fell away from the church! so far the only was i can describe him is by using such Characters as The Godfather and Walter White!! he got into a lot of gangs! and he rose up really far! so far that cops wouldnt pull him over!!! he was someone you would never mess with!!! but over time he got out of it! and just like that a missionary, me in general felt as though he had one of the greatest spirits and testimonies out there!!! I can Testify to you that all of us can come closer to christ and sooner or later be the best that we can be!!! If this man isnt an example i dont know who is!! Ill go each and every day throughout the week struggling wanting to be anywhere except a mission! then i see this! and i see how profound what i am doing and what many others are doing out there, and how much it touches peoples lifes! Its what truly makes it all worth it!!! Now I LOVE ALL OF YOU!!!!

Keep it classy Utah
