Email Letter - August 29, 2011

When there's nothing left to burn, you have to set yourself on fire.

Now you may be wondering about the subject heading for this email. I'll explain: This week we found a neat place called wing stop. Wing stop has pretty good wings as you might imagine, they are indeed delicious, but one of the times that we went there were members there and they decided that it would be a great idea to buy all of the missionaries some "atomic" wings. Now, we all joked saying that these wings could not be that hot. Guess who was wrong. At first they weren't bad at all, but after a minute or two, you're wanting to throw up because of the heat of the wing. That was a catastrophe waiting to happen there wasn't it? Other than atomic wings, wing stop has another pretty cool thing that blew our minds. The coke "freestyle" one tap, one hundred options. Check that out sometime. It's pretty great.

Good news: The last couple of weeks we've been attending a lot of baptisms, none of them being ours. Jealous, we set a date with Mike! He's pretty excited and so are we! The date is coming up quick and there is still a lot to teach him but we're now meeting or talking with him every day and getting it taken care of.

More good news!: This week we also picked up two new investigators! We found Lupe tracting while I was on exchanges with Elder Tervort. Crazy story there, we weren't planning on tracting at all that day because we were so busy, but we had two appointments fall through. We went back to the apartment and started to decide what street we were going to tract. Before we were going to start tracting I thought it would be good to visit some past 'gators and see if they would let us back in and after we knocked their doors we could tract some streets next to their houses. Tervort had a different idea and thought it would be good to hit a different street than the two I had decided, when he said the street we should tract, Jewell, I thought it was right so that's what we did. It was then that something that never happens happened. The first door we knocked we were let in for a bit and then invited back to bring our message. That is the story of Lupe. The story of Yvette is less fun, but that is just fine. She asked a member of our ward out to have the official title of "couple" and he told her that he doesn't really date girls that aren't members of the church. When he said that, she told him that she wanted to learn. Flirt to convert works!

Bad news will be omitted due to the excess of good news in this email. Just know that my mouth still burns from the atomic wings two days ago.
