Busy

Hey ya'll!
  Saturday was crazy! After studies, we spent the morning at a funeral, then helped a member move his furniture into storage, had pizza with the other Elders and an investigator (their investigator), and wrapped it all up with moving more stuff! This last person we helped was a woman we met days before. Walking up her driveway, we saw her surrounded by boxes in her garage, so we asked to help. She was like "no," but we kept talking, and found out she would have a u-haul loaded in a couple days later. We said we could help her then, "Serious?" she said and hugged us!
  Which reminds me, the day before that (Wednesday...?), while in a trailer park, a woman answered her door and was fairly conversational, but was like, "Well, I don't wanna scare ya.....but I'm Wicka." ... yeah, I was scared out of my wits, all clammy and shaky. I'm not really sure what Wicka is, but what I got out of it was that she studied different Christian things and decided not to follow any of it, so she now qualifies (for some reason) as Wicka. She didn't look anything out of the ordinary, dark hair, young, and had a daughter inside with another girl. The daughter (maybe 11) seemed to be off the walls inside, her mom kept telling her to finish this or that (I guess the two were supposed to be doing homework), but insisted, saying she had a question. Finally the girl is outside, the mom letting her ask her question, but just hugs Elder Ferons! And then me! The mother was like, "Yeah, she's a hugger." The friend was like "I'm good," as if giving an excuse for not following suit with her friend. Here's some good news, the lady explained that she's letting her daughter do Christianity, and even accepted The Book of Mormon and read it herself! So there's some hope there. A talk yesterday in Sacrament meeting was all about relating 'Enduring to the end' with wrestling. It was way cool! He even said that F.E.A.R. is when "False Expectations Appear Real."
 Love! Elder Stolp
