Different Strokes For Different Folks!

"Hello everyone I hope you are all doing well. This week has been a rather exceptional week. We have had some great lessons lately. I am enjoying our lessons lately, we have ran into some awesome investigators. We got to sleep over at the Sorensens, why? Well haha that's a funny story some dewy dropped the keys, that might have been me. We got to go to Pointe, and saw a way cool investigator and view, it was like a dream. Oh I almost forgot we killed some chickens on Monday. Tuesday was also pretty cool. We helped lift cement onto a roof.

This week has been so great. This week has also been great because I have gained this re vamped love for Elder Randle my companion! He I are awesome together!

I am going to title this,  hopefully very appropriately

Well let get started. Saturday night we walked up or rather walked into one of our investigators in conversation with his girl that is a friend. We said hi and we were like we better get out of here, then she started asking who we were and we said we are the missionaries from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Then she said are you guys "normans" we said nope (aware that she was referring to us) we are from the church of Jesus ..... and then we proceeded to talk to her about  you guessed it. Its whats on every missionaries mind, FOOD. She offered to cook us a meal. Rather reluctantly we said YESSSSSS!!!! HaHa. We set it up for the next day.

Sunday came around and we went over to the house and got some very very good chicken. So as we were finishing up the food she starts talking about "normans" again. She goes those Normans are always walking around just like you guys. So I asked Yeah do they were name tags to. She says ya and they don't even use the bible, and they aren't very good. I sad man I really like them they are way good and very nice. Elder Randle and I were almost bursting into tears laughing at this time and she goes what are you laughing about? They don't use the bible. So I pulled a bible out and asked if she had ever seen one reading a bible. she said no I haven't. I said are you sure you haven't I think you might be looking at one. She said "no" they don't use the bible. Elder Randle and I were laughing saying, are you sure you have never seen one with a bible? She Said NO, they only use there book the book of Norman. So I got mine out and put it on my bible, and said who put this here? She looks at it pauses sits on the couch are you normans? We said we are Mormons. That is just our nick name we are really the church of Jesus ..... Then we had a lesson with her answering all her questions and correcting her misconceptions about the church.

This was a pretty funny experience, but also one that we both learned from. Sometimes you really got to take a different approach for different people. I think this was one experience I wont forget and one she wont either because we are now teaching her the gospel along with her friend!!!!
well that's it that's all for this week

Love you all Very much! "BIG UP YOUR SELF'S"  (Jamaican term of Good Job)

Love,
Elder Conder"
