August 3 2009 Update

Hi everyone!

This week was not very productive in a sense. We knocked millions of doors and no one was interested. That’s okay though.

Funny story. We talked with a few kids (ages 16-17) and it was funny because they were all high. They were not good kids but we talked with them for a while and answered questions they had and then we continued on our way. As we walked down the street, we hear these black people yelling. We had no idea why they were yelling but we decided to go over and tell them that we had a special message about Jesus Christ and forgiveness. We talked with them for just a couple of minutes, and as we were talking I noticed that there was one guy rolling a [joint] and just doing it right on his car . So we left laughing. Then they started yelling again. But it was funny...black people are afraid of us. We are white guys with a church about Christ and they are a little superstitious. Well we also went to another church this week and they said that Satan was a woman, kind of funny.

It’s great here. Having a good time I am. Hope state swimming went well for all those who participated. I love you all.
