I Will Never Stop Like A Marathon In Boston

Hey Ya'll!

This past week seemed to fly right over my head! We have been super busy for a few reasons this week. 

First, we have been really pumped all week for Saturday to roll around.. There was a big 5K run going on at the College and we were able to be a part of it! Missionaries running in a race with our white shirts and ties! haha if that doesn't say Mormon then I don't know what does. It was great! There was 4 sets of us running it and along the way we handed out some pass along cards and we even read some scriptures to give some people strength. I ran it in a 23 minutes an​​​​​​​​d to say for a missionary that ain't bad.....ain't bad at all. Bad thing is you know you are out of shape when the next morning you can hardly walk because you feel like you are going to rip your calf off your leg... almost falling down the stairs because you are walking like an old man haha! All worth it though.....got a free shirt for 10 bucks.... and Brother Turman hooked it up fat with a nice shoulder massage!!

Second,  as you know we have been working really hard on our "Meet The Mormons" movie night.  we knocked a lot of doors to get the word out this week and did our best to invite people, we had a lot of good come from it though. One day we had 4 sets of missionaries here in the area along with a senior couple to blitz the area with flyers! We gave out a total of 500 flyers from that! We showed the movie last night and we had a couple non-members and a few less actives. So it was a good turn out! Lots of people loved it and it was good to see some hard work pay off. hopefully some of the members feel inspired to share the gospel or go on missions or live a better life.

Oh yeah almost forgot the most important thing! Yesterday when we were out handing out flyers. Just minding our own missionary business, our favorite anti guy of BV came around on his old man bike pedaling up a hill....First words out of his mouth are, " look there are two of Satan's children right there." First thing that came to my head was to run over and tip him off his bike to show him what a real child of Satan would do....But luckily I am a child of God so I just smiled and waved instead.. what a guy!

The work is good and so is the Gospel! Don't forget, we are all children of a loving God :)

Have a good week!!
