Blood Sucking Drunks


Funny: Well, Colorado is a great place but it sure has its fair share of weirdos. We were serving lunch at a soup kitchen and this man came up and started talking about how he was actually a vampire and that he was sent to find more vampires. Well, we told him it was nice to meet him and the gave him his lunch and moved on. After we were done serving lunch, we were out wiping tables and who appears, yes, the vampire man. He proceeded to spend the next ten minutes trying to convince us to let him bite us. Thankfully when we stepped outside into the sun all he could do was stand in the shade and hiss at us. It was another one for the journal that's for sure.

Spiritual: The Spirit of God like a fire is burning here in Cortez 4th ward. We were blessed with some spectacular lessons this week. One such lesson was with a lady named Arron. We took our bishop with us and taught the Plan of Salvation. The gears were turning in Arron’s head and it was so fun to see her connect the dots. At one point we were talking about the 3 degrees of Glory and she brought up that it has to come from 1 Corinthians 15 but if we believe that then we must also believe in baptisms for the dead. We explained that yes, we do believe that and we will explain that in another lesson. It was inspiring to see the true seeker of truth begin to grasp the truths that God has revealed. 

Where I am at: With the weather warming up it is biking season. This week we officially start a truck share with 2 other areas. That means that we will be on bikes for most of this week. Last week we got the bikes all figured out and ready for the adventure. It is good because already I have gained almost 8 pounds while being here haha. Other than that, we are just getting pumped for conference. There are going to be some great things that are revealed to us this round.

Enjoy conference weekend
