There are weird signs around that say this. (the subject of this e-mail) And there is a picture of this crazy woman holding some animal it is really funny.
Last p-day the other Elders in our English ward ran into this lady at the supermarket. Let me explain this more. So we are in an English ward and a Spanish branch. Our area for the boundaries are so big that there are 3 sets of Elders that cover the Spanish branch. And 2 sets of Elders that cover the English ward. So it is Elder Andersen and I and then Elder Brook and Elder Crall. (they are supes tight.) Our area slash ward is called Mission Creek. The other Elders are MC A and we are MC B. So we always eat dinner with and hang out with MC A. ANYWAY. MC A ran into this long lost member of the church. I guess she was baptized and LOVED church but then she moved and didn’t know where the nearest church was to her new home. So she was been like praying for this and stuff and then she saw the Elders and was so excited! She lives in our area of Mission Creek ward. Aka our side of town pretty much. So we went and visited her. She is way strong and totally has this strong testimony. She is a little strange but I think its from drug abuse and just I don’t know. But she is funny and cool. So we met with her and her daughter-in-law was there. (Who is not a member of the church.) We talked to them and then Bianca- the daughter-in-law was telling us about her life story and stuff and how she feels like she needs to go to church cause God is helping her out. So I don’t really know what all happened but its like this: She has 4 kids who have been taken away from her. I guess her last husband beat her and the kids so they took the kids to live in a safe environment. But somehow during this, Bianca is charged or something because she has to take parenting classes and she doesn’t really have custody of her kids. She has to meet some requirements before she can get them back. Requirements such as: get her own house, get a job, finish these classes. And she has to do it by a certain time that is close at hand. ( I hope this is making sense.) Anyway. Things have been falling in place and her mother in law, Marta, has been a strong help to her and they have been praying and all this kinda stuff. But when we met with her she said, "Just since you guys got here I feel different. I feel a lot better!" And THAT was awesome. So her and her husband... who is also not a member, named Frank. Want to take the lessons and stuff. And then they totally came to church on Sunday and said that they really enjoyed it. That hearing everyone's testimonies was really powerful and they really liked it! And Marta is just way cool! She like fell and has all these health problems and she was in a ton of pain but she kept being like, "I may be in pain but that’s not gonna stop me from going to church!'" It was cool. I just remembered I am typing for like ever and I will be talking to you soon.
