September 8 Letter

Hey what's up? So it sounds like it's been a good week. Your the new Beehive advisor huh, that's cool. I think you'll be good there. Ya, it's really unfortunate about the whole Fine Furniture thing. Hopefully they won't hate us, but you got to do what you got to do. Tell Chris he needs to quit showing off on the saw, haha! I bet that was a bloody mess! I wish I could have been there, haha!! (*Chris had an accident with a table saw and nearly cut off the tips of two fingers, but Dr. Joe was able to fix him up. He will have two more deformed fingers, but at least he has them!)
Anwase, that family that I was tellin' you about that we found, well, they kinda dropped us. They had a date for the 19th of September, but not anymore, kind of a bummer. But our other investigator, Ernie, we were able to re-set a date with him. So on the 26 of September we should have a baptism. But Ernie is really a funny story. He has some learning disabilities, so he is kinda slow. But he is like, 50 years old, and lives by himself. The house he lives in is the one his parents moved into when he was a kid. And it's kinda sad, because they still have half the house packed with boxes from when they moved in. So the house is a disaster. And on top of that he has about 12 outdoor cats in the house, and they don't really care where they go to the bathroom and everytime we go over we get fleas, and Ernie doesn't have very good hygiene, so we challenged him to take a bath every day and to brush his teeth every day. It's sad that it's that way, but that's just how he was raised. So last week we bought his a suit at the thrift store and a white shirt and tie and gave him a haircut, got him looking good for church, so we have really helped him clean up, him and his house. It's so much nicer now, even though we still have a long ways to go with him. At least he's getting baptised. The gospel will bless him so much. It's already changed him a lot. But anywase, I got to go, so I will talk to ya later.

Loves, Elder Silcock
