There is this non-member guy named "Mike Lee" and he is 100%
hippie, down to the core. He always calls us asking for "Skabelund." He
is trying to get me to attend a "super surfer school in San Diego." Let
me mention, he is 59...he has long greasy hair and wears nothing but
tie-dye shirts. We came over one day to teach him and he basically gave
us a rock-show in his living room. He is an incredible singer and
guitarist but his lyrics make ZERO sense. lol. Here is what they
consisted of... "Christian is peace. Christian is peace. Catholic speaks
peace." He loves all religions.
I asked him if he knew that the Book of Mormon is true. He said,
"Of course I do. And I actually wrote part of the golden plates if you
wanna see..." He whooped out pages of jiberish and said he has about 150
pages so far. He said that he wrote part of Joseph Smith's golden
plates and that "they" are going to pick him up in a space ship pretty
soon... I tried so hard not too laugh as he continued to sing and read
verses from the story of "Ammone" aka. Ammon. Tears streamed from my
eyes as my shoulders were shaking and I tried to contain the laughter
dying to come out. Hilarious. I don't think we will be going back
there...
Conference was incredible. I always love hearing from all the amazing speakers and the choir! I feel the spirit most through music. I had goosebumps every time the choir would sing. I'm soooo jealous that the missionaries in the MTC could sing in conference! Way cool.
"Joy has very little to do with our circumstances and everything to do with the focus of our lives," Russell M. Nelson.
"As she looked to the book, she looked to the Lord," Gary E. Stevensen
"Our Redeemer chooses to forgive, he wants to forgive, and he is
joyful when we repent. If we repent, immediately the great plan of
redemption will be given to us. Repentance is not only possible, but
joyful because of the Savior," paraphrased (Dale G. Renlund).
We are loving the October weather and getting pumped for
Halloween. 28 DAYS TILL HALLOWEEN! 82 DAYS TILL CHRISTMAS! We celebrated
by trying on costumes in target today. lol. Anyways, I love being a
missionary. I can't believe it has already been 5 months. only 13 more
to go?! CRAZY. California is amazing.
love y'all
MORMON IS PEACE
