Letter #25

Joshua's 25th Letter

Hellooooooooooooooo mission fans!

tis your beloved elder smart! here to discuss this weeks progress!

hmmmmmm whats happened this week.

well, for starters I am feeling slightly better! ocd has been a real plague but this week I am starting to see rays of sunshine!

we've met quite a few crazy people!

so we went to probably the sketchiest place I had been in awhile.

(surprisingly more sketch than chocolate city... and thats the technical ghetto of lakewood.) anyway the complex's are kinda stashed away behind the burger king like two minutes away from the apartment.

so we were going along knocking on these particulary sketch places and for once (maybe it was because I was with the new guy) I felt actually kinda.... uncomfortable.

so we started knocking on the doors and we come up to these two that are side byside, and from the one next to the door that we are about to knock I hear this woman talking from the open door.

"oh those guys better not knock on my door... they wouldn't be dumb enough.. they better not!" and of course my first thought is.

"lady, why the heck would we knock on the door? its open already..." of course I refrained from actually saying so.... even though I really really wanted too!

so of course when theres no answer we walk up to it and I say high, to which this woman says something relatively crude to us and then reaches in to try and pull her busom out to which I quickly turn and say 'okay have a nice day.'

so yeah,  fun.

HOWEVER this was also the first time I ran into a NICE manager!

we knock further down and I see th managers door open and a lady standing and of course my first thought was.

"aw crap.... she's gonna kick us out."

so of course we say hi and we start talking

I told her we had had some interesting experiences with some of her clients and she was like.

"which one? the guy next door?"  Then the overweight drunk lady who had tried to expose her self to us was walking around outside her house now so I nodded toward that lady and the manager was like;

"oh! yeah, she's not a believer, I've been trying to talk to her about it but she's' pretty adamant"

and I was like

"AH! she's religious!" so to our surprise we actually set up an apointment with her.

crazy right?

hmmm aside from that not a whole lot has been happening unfortunately

BUT we are still at work, we're doing the perfect storm thingy this month so we're trying hard.

also I made a discovery, preach my gospel is like a frigg'n homework book!!!! like there's activities and stuff to do in it!

I was reading some parts of it and was like.

"oh... that looks kinda fun to do...."

oh how I learn.

well thats all from me to day folks remember, drunk people are weird.

Love,

Elder J Smart
