Jesus the New Elvis!, Zombie Apocalypse! Book of Mormon on Broadway?

This week has been great, we were able to meet with several Less Active members, and have set up a few times to come back and to help them get back into coming to church and living the covenants that they have made at baptism. We also visited a few Former investigators, and have decided to pick them back up and see if we can help them feel the spirit and the need to be baptized! We are excited to have a few opportunities to be able to sit down with people and help teach them, but more have the spirit teach them. We have an investigator who read JSH... and found the part where Joseph wonders which church is true, so intriguing because he's wondered that very same thing. He shared a very cool thing but didn't realize it....: he was taught and led by the spirit to read those things and the spirit WILL confirm that Joseph Smith is a prophet of God! and soon after he'll be baptized! (I hope)

We also got a chance to work on Purdue Campus for a few hours this week! That was way FUN!! Stopping random students and talking to them about the gospel is Great! We were able to get a few phone numbers and start to teaching process with them... Very cool to see how the gospel really is for everyone. We were in an area of Campus where there was a game of Zombies Vs. Humans going on... Apparently there is a National Campus game going on where people act as Zombies, and others as Humans with Nerf Guns, and they play different games and try and kill each other (nerf guns). Jeremy, It's your job to investigate this and to find out when i get home if we can join the fight against those dag Zambies!

                                              

We are trying to reach a potential investigator, he could be a great baptism, but he's super busy and we have a hard time actually sitting down with him, but we stopped in on him the other day and asked us about the Book of Mormon on Broadway.... Apparently it's coming and i know it's not church sanctioned but it may be something you'll want to look into, if only in case people ask questions...

                 

Ok so this week we were able to go on Exchanges with the District leader, and I was with his companion Elder Farmer from North Logan, and we ran into a guy that is a paranoid schizophrenic, and i asked if he had a Faith in Christ, and he went off about how he can see demons, and he's used to them now, and that people don't know he knows Jesus, and that Jesus will come in 4 years, (maybe he's right) and that he's going to be as big as Elvis... Need less to say i was choking back laughter and tears, one because the things he was saying were totally outrageous and off the wall, but two, he truly believes in Jesus Christ, and will one day have his mind set free, and will be able to fully accept the Gospel!

                                                   

So I'm sure you all were wondering just what the title of my post was, and how it was going to make sense in the end, and now you know that there are 3 individual stories that happened this week, that made me think about cool blog post names, and i couldn't decide between the 3, so i did all 3.

OH MY GOSH, i almost forgot! Thank you all for the birthday wishes, and packages... For those of you who didn't send me anything shame on you... just kidding! It was still a great day! A sister from our ward made us cupcakes, so we had a really good cupcake with a candle...thank you so much! It was fun to stumble and tell people that i'm 25 now.... OLD!!! A sister Lyon that works in the office, (knows Gma and Gpa Francis) called me old.... So if she says it it must be true!

Love you all thanks for the notes and emails and in general all the love, support, and prayers! Make missionary work apart of all of your lives! I know i'm going to want to be a better member missionary when i get home. Out here it's pretty simple to do, because you are one of the few members, not just one of the crowd... just a little challenge!
