Letter from John on September 23

So I get this call mid-week from the mission office but we were busy so we didn’t get the call until later. The message they left was pretty basic, you had called and they wanted me to call the mission office to tell me about it. I’m not gonna lie. I was really really worried that someone was hurt or dead or something. Now that I think about it that as a pretty irrational thought because if it were something like that why on earth would it come through the mission office. Anyway when sister Bernett told me about those referrals I was very very relieved.
Anyways it was fun stuff. This week was a pretty good week. I’m not getting transferred and I’m not too worried about that at all. I really am excited I get to stick around a little longer. Now I’m going to be able to see Randy's baptism (Oct 11) and whatever else happens here before I leave. The hardest part of getting him (Randy) ready for that point is his tongue ring. He doesn’t want to take it out. He said without it he feels naked. He said he could have it out in time for his baptism, but I’m shooting for before.
Yesterday we had a neat experience. Our plans... well tanked is probably the best word for it. We had our last plan for the morning up and two hours before we had scheduled to be there. So we went to this little shop down the street to visit with one of our investigators named Earlean. Then after that we went to our last appointment we had scheduled for the morning and had a great discussion with a man who goes by Tattoo. We sat and talked with him for a while and as the conversation unfolded it became apparent that we were led there. He had just barely gotten home and had we showed up any earlier we would have never been able to talk with him. To make it all cooler is what happened the night before. We had come in and begun planning when we kinda hit a brick wall and didn’t know what we should do. We then realized that we had forgotten to pray. So we got down on our knees and asked God for what we should do for the next day and it was immediately filled down to the encounters I have just described. This work is most definitely LED by the very hand of God.
Hope you have a great week.
Love ya, John
