Hey, Everyone! This week was pretty good! There are a few things that happened that are worth talking about.
First up is the name of the email! On the last Exchange, Elder Cummings and Elder Cox found a guy named Terry, this past week we went to catch up with him. When we showed up, he was super drunk. He was surprised that we showed up though. He told us he didn't expect us to come back. We went inside to talk to him. Our conversation got weird real quick. We talked about church stuff and he started talking about the characteristics f Jesus. that led to him telling us that he believed Jesus was a woman...because he is kind. He said that men aren't kind at all! So, that means Jesus is a woman. He believes that Jesus is Sheesus...I don't know what to tell you after that. It was an interesting experience.
We did a good amount of tracting this week. We found 4 people. We are hoping they pan out this week.
On Saturday we met back with Marshall. We've been trying to see him the last 3ish weeks. He told us that the reason he won't join the Mormon church is because of the social stigma that comes with being a Mormon. He said every time he asks people what they think of the Mormons, they say, "I hate the Mormons!" He said he asks them why, and the just say, "I just do!" He told us, "They have no idea why they hate you guys!" We kind of laughed about it. We just talked to him about Gospel stuff, video games, and other life things. At one point, he just randomly said, "You know, I should come to church!"It was super cool that he brought it up on his own! He will be coming to church this Sunday!
Another cool experience happened at church. One of the recent converts, Fred, meets with us every week. Yesterday he was sustained to the Aaronic Priesthood. In priesthood, when asked who he wanted to ordain him, he asked me to do it! It was super cool!
Well, that was my week! I hope you had a good week too!
Love, Elder Merritt
