Hey Family,
I heard the Utes are playing Duke in the sweet sixteen!!! That's so sweet, I wish I could watch it I bet you guys were going nuts when they beat Georgetown! That's awesome that you guys are still reading the Book of Mormon every night, keep it up! Hope Liv had a good time at Morp, I miss dances! This week was pretty good, a lot of crazy stuff happened! We weren't able to teach Raina or Elena this week which kinda stunk, but we did have a couple lessons with Cheryl! They are having some really bad family problems, and Sarah has a horrible relationship with her parents. The other day she yelled at a teacher while she was at school, because of an assignment that the teacher gave her. Cheryl just came to the school and picked her up and she didn't have to do the assignment! She has no discipline at all, and she gets whatever she wants. It's pretty bad! Cheryl was complaining to us about how rude Sarah acts and she wonders what the problem is, but it's mostly her fault... But oh well, the Gospel can solve any problem that they or anyone else has so we're going to keep working with her!
We also have a less active guy in our ward named Mike Bosen. We have been working with him forever and he is kind of a weird guy. We usually go over to his house in the evening time and just share messages with him. He is struggling with a lot of things in his life and we are trying so hard to help him realize the potential that he has and what is in store after this life for those who are faithful! It is so hard because he just doesn't understand how important his actions are every day! It truly is amazing though how as missionary's you really gain Christlike love for those you serve. I want Mike to become active so bad, and Christlike love leads you to do whatever you can to help people accept the Gospel! I am hoping that as we continue to work with him, he will realize that he needs the Gospel in his life and he will realize the importance of it!
This week we also had a pretty funny experience while tracting. So we knock on this door, and a guy with a giant beard comes to the door and says "How's it going guys?" and we talked to him and told him who we were and all that stuff, and he said " We're doing stand up comedy and drinking in the back yard do you wanna join us? Do you drink?" and we told him no, but we could do some stand up comedy! So he was like "Woooo!" and he walked us to the backyard where there were a couple drunk guys, and they started clapping and handing us a microphone and told us to tell some jokes. So we did our best but it was a poor effort. So after a little while we just started asking them what they knew about Mormons! Some of them said "They have magic underwear!" "They were polygamists!" "They are the Judaism of Christians!" And we were just talking to them and explaining what our actual beliefs are, and they were drunk out of their minds so I'm sure they didn't really remember it but then we left and they all clapped as we walked out the door haha!
Anyways, missionary work is amazing and I wouldn't trade any of these weird, crazy, awesome experiences for the world! Hope you all are staying safe and doing the right things, I love you guys!
Love Elder Summerhays
