QotD: "¿como lo escribe Espíritu Santo, con un mayúscula o un minúscula? Por que los Testigos de Jehová la escribe con minúsculas, per el diablo, con un mayúscula." --Rodolfo, in other words, Jehovah's Witnesses write Devil with capital and Holy Spirit with lowercases, Weird.

Interesting day. Contracted many referalls.

It was just a good day because we followed the rules and got up and stayed up at and after 6:30am. It's good because 3 neighbors around an investigator's house did not want anything to do with us.

We helped excavate a house from the depths of despair - a flood destroyed the basement of a family that is a packrat, so lots of random objects were destroyed. One of the cool things is that Elder Hewitt from Meridian Idaho found a magnifying glass we began to burn paper/boxes/plastic; etc.

Elder Curtis is an interesting fellow. He's from Amarillo, Texas. He's cool because he has standards and he follows the rules without overly imposing them on anyone. The first thing I really noticed about him is that he has all ORIGINAL CD's, none except those that were given to him, that are burnt. It led me to ask him if he believes in allowing people to burn copies. He said no. He's an awesome guy though. The oldest one of us four out on a mission. He has a great testimony. Oh, the best part was playing "If you could Hie to Kolob" with him on the PIANO. He's still learning to play, but he's pretty good. He's bold. I admire him a lot.

Elder Hewitt is just an all around easy-going guy. He laughs at all of Elder McLaw's jokes and has an awesome smile. He's been out 6 months. He is timid and that helps me relate to him more. He is an understanding guy.

Los elderes ingleses are stinking awesome. I enjoy being around them.
