How'r y'all doin? it's been a good week for us. We did some
service this week with our friend named Rob. Rob is pretty interesting.
When we first met him he wasn't really open to any kind of religious
message or even missionaries but we got to know him and talked to him
more and listened to the things that he likes in life and what he's into
and the gospel started coming up. Anyway, he puts it best, he's a "work
in progress" haha. I think a couple of the times we've had meeting with
him he's gone through two beers and 3 or 5 smokes. Haha, he showed us a
project he was going to do on his roof. We told him we'd love to help
him out. It kind of seemed like a project I wouldn't have dove into by
myself but he was pretty confident. It was a connection from his roof of
his house to his garage and we had to replace some of the studs and
redo the whole top layer and put on a new covering instead of shingles.
It was really fun. He's a good guy. The other day before the project he
was talking to us on the phone working out some details for the project
and he said, "Ya I'll just plan on seeing y'all at 9am on Friday and I
have all kinds of jerky and protein bars and stuff and some drinks for
y'all. I know you don't do the caffeine thing so I'll getcha some sprite
or something, I get the brown drinks for myself. Heck, you mormons are
gonna live too long you know that? Heck, I mean, Ya'll are about 20
and... oh 70 more years... 70 more years?" (saying this with a sense
pain as he contemplated the idea of how long that was in comparison with
his life). Haha, we had to laugh about it.
We also had a really cool Palm Sunday Easter thing going on at our
church yesterday. It was an awesome musical program. I loved it! There
is some talent in this area with the members. We has Jacob who's a guy
that we're teaching--come with us. He said he really liked it. Music is
great.
well I love y'all! have a good week!
Love, Elder Russell
