This week was really great! We had a lot of crazy things happen that just really made me love being a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I'll give just one of them that happened this last Tuesday.
Here's a picture of Turlington Plaza on campus. Examine closely..
(The sign being held up is a bunch of flames and the caption: "Sinners go to hell")
This week we were on campus and there were a bunch of street preachers. They were on campus from 11AM-7PM, arguing with every single group on campus and calling them out. As soon as we stepped on campus, and they saw us missionaries, they started preaching about how bad Mormons are. It was really sad to see people watching this, getting that kind of an impression of Christianity.
We were able to talk to many people, who told us that we are a great example of our faith. I'm glad to be a member of a church where we teach in the same kind and peaceful way that Jesus Christ taught!
I loved it when people would come up to us while they were preaching and ask us what we thought, and we could just share our message. It was a blessing in disguise to have people there who were open minded to hearing our message.
Have a great Halloween! It's 85 degrees here, which just feels wrong for Halloween, but oh well!
Love you all!
(We also went out to Paynes Prairie earlier today to show the new Elders some alligators.)

(The new companionship is great - Elder Aiken is in training, just came from the MTC, and Elder Bangerter just came from being a zone leader. He's been out for 16 months. He's really into the arts - he did lots of musicals and theater in high school. Elder Aiken is a quarterback and will be going to Weber State with a football scholarship. He's super athletic and a fast runner, fun to play frisbee with! )
