because it's para-para paradiiise. :D

Aaaah such a nice easy week. We taught people and met with all our pleasant investigators. Sure one fell off date and one has still not come to church yet but you know what? it was a wonderful week nonetheless. I took it slower as I peddled on my bike and just breathed in a little more and all was right with the world again.

:oD honk.

I have to say this about the scriptures in New Testament, the further back you get, the more you realize how much of the book of Mormon really parallels the scriptures and all their teachings. Odd because most of the book of Mormon happens before or after new testament and yet they are so in sync! I find it delightful to read in Enos but it's honestly the scantiest book in there and also very full at the same time.

P.S. I hope all of you are studying yourselves. It['s a good way to spend a little time and a good way to come together around a common part of the gospel.

P.S.S from good to great. :D

OK so here I am again and you can spread around this story, but we got up from the library computers for a second to use the restroom and as we were going there a gangster with a blue bandanna on his head, a swastika tattooed on the side of his head and had upside-down crosses tattooed on his chest stopped us and said "LDS right?"I go simply "yeah"

and here I quote the rest of the conversation, just him talking mind you. "Ah man I have the utmost respect for you guys, I've read the whole Book of Mormon and the discourses of Joseph Smith, I won't join, but I find it really uplifting. all these other churches profess to believe and follow the words of Christ but you guys really do it. and now you have this whole twelve step program thing you are just really going at it. I've seen videos from people who've studied it all the way from the beginning but you guys are just Deep. thanks though man I appreciate what you guys do for the community"

 :D Aaaaah, I love the humbled and those that like us a lot.
