Elder Wold & Elder Fabrizio

Elder Fabrizio

Do I look French with my hair like this?

Hey there! We couldn't get to the library yesterday because of labor
day, so we are doing it today, I swear I'm not breaking the rules!

We did exchanges this week with some Elders in Stillwater. There I
went with Elder Laro and we got to go on the bus and OYM (Open Your
Mouth, pretty much talk to people) people on it. We just sat down on
opposite sides of each other and chatted with a bunch of college
students. It was way cool! We also went to a fair there and had people
mark pages in the Book of Mormon, wherever it said God or Lord, we had
them mark. That went awesome and I think we got a lot of potentials
out of it.
We had an awesome spiritual and funny experience the other day. We
were biking to this dudes house when we saw a couple sitting outside a school in Guthrie, noses deep in their phones. So naturally we got off our bikes and went to chat with them. They were older in their 40's and they were not super interested at first. But as we
kept taking we felt like we should give them this marked Book of
Mormon we got from a member. We asked them if they wanted to learn more and they seemed cool with it. It was so perfect, we'd give it to them, we'd meet with them again and we could tell the Sister we got it from that it was put to good use. But nooOOoo. We asked them for their phone numbers and they just said they'd, "see us around". WHAT?! GIVE
ME THAT BACK! is what I wanted to say. But you can't just take back
that Book of Mormon. So fail.

BUT a couple of days later we were driving to Walmart and we were
like, ehhhh forget walmart let's go visit Ethel, our investigator who
we hadn't seen in 3 weeks because she wasn't home and didn't answer
her texts. So we get there and Ethel was actually outside watering her plants. She was so happy to see us. She apologized because she had been so busy with stuff with her son and his medical problems. We  kept talking and she invited us in. When we got inside we found Charles and Carol, the couple we met at the school, chilling on the couch!!!! We were completely dumbfounded, we didn't say anything for like a minute! We didn't think we'd ever see them again!
And then Charles goes "heh heh told you I'd see you around". Anyway, we now know where and how to get a hold of them! It was so exciting.

I love you guys and will keep you posted on these fun little stories!
I actually have a couple of more from that day but it would take so
long to write them out so you can just read them from my journal in
two years he he. Ship shape, Bristol Fashion!
