Week 36

Gen-Con has come and gone,  We have all learned a ton of stuff and are hopefully better people. 

 

What was ya'll's favorite talks?  My top three were probably (in no order) Elder Cardon's of the 70, Elder Eyrings and President Monson's.

 

So let's see what has happened this week. 

 

We were Finally able to see Ryan Horn at his house!  His wife's heart was softened i guess.  And we Set a date!  He is one of the most prepared people i've met.  He came to part of Conference and took notes and apparently his wife is actually warming up to the idea of mormonism!  Which is Crazy!! she used to not let us over because we weren't catholic...   His date is set for April 27th. 

Which By the way, transfer's are this week and Elder Dudley and I are both staying! so i will actually get to be here for one of my baptisms!

 

Anyways, we met this guy this week, he's an inactive, and he is INSANE!!! like quite literally...  He talked about how his parents knew brigham young and so he hate's him cause he was a crook and a liar and a thief, and wasn't at all a man of God.  He talked about how Joseph smith didn't really die at Carthage, but they stormed in and Took him and burned him and castrated him and hung him on a cross...  he wouldn't listen to anything else... Then he told us of a place south of SLC that we should go, you know what, i'll just paraphrase him

 

"There is a place in utah that is a holy place, Brigham young didn't know about it... He would've if he was a man of God, but he wasn't. You must go there...  But first you need to get food and water and guns and tents and other supplies, and then you must get 4 men like You! (pointing to me, for some reason he loved me, it was pretty scary actually) and you cant bring Any women, they simply won't be good enough.  Anyways, you must go south of Salt Lake and stop at the first gas station, there you must pray, not for just 5 minute's or 10 or 15 or even just an hour! you might as well pitch your tents cause you'll be praying All day and night!  and then each of you will get your answer on where to go next, Dont tell eachother!!!  just write down your revelations and they will all be unanimous, it will lead you to your next stop...  Once you get there you will do the same thing as before,  Just pitch your tents cause you'll be there awhile.  only this time you'll just get a direction to go." 

 

 He goes on to be even crazier, but i'll leave that for another day.  And man oh man did he Reek like cat pee and dog pee and ciggy's...

 

Anyhow, that's all for today folks!

 

Love Ya'll!
