Dear friends and family:
I don't have much time today, unfortunately.
Things are going well. We dropped the family of 8 that we
were teaching. (They came to church because they wanted to visit, but they said
that they didn't like the way that we worshiped.)
But part way through the week, a Haitian man who was driving
around in his car stopped Elder Mears and Elder Robishaw while they were biking
(no, he didn't hit them) and asked them if they were Mormons. They explained
that yes, they were, expecting him to be anti because of the way that he asked
it. Instead, he said, "so when can you guys come by and visit me?" We
went by to see him and his family the next day, and he was excited to come to
church. He had been to church with us one time, seven years ago, and he told us
that he didn't like the way other churches ran things, but he was very
impressed with the "Mormon church" and he told us it was the only
church he would ever consider going to consistently. Yesterday, he came to
church with two of his sons (ages 8 and 9) and they all enjoyed church a lot.
Thanks,
Elder Slade
