You so cute

Subject Line: You can't mess with the best in Las Vegas West.

Hello

Well it's really cold out here. I had to go buy thermals. That's right, I am wearing thermals in Vegas in the middle of the desert. Who would have thought that would ever happen?

Fun fact: the strip was built exactly in line with a fault line and when there is a big earthquake the whole strip will sink in the ground and will be swallowed up. It will happen someday. No wonder missionaries can't go on the strip. haha

So Saturday we went yard-saling and ran into this Mexican lady. She was so funny because she kept saying " Ohh, my, you so cute, I sell you jewelry for your girlfriend, really good deal." Then I explained that I didn't have a girlfriend because we are Missionaries. Then she said "Why you have no girlfriend, you so cute." I just kept laughing. She told us about her daughter and how she is really beautiful because she is half Mexican and half white. She said "half white babys are soo cute. You so cute." She kept calling me that. It was a little freaky. I was afraid she was going to offer me her daughter so I wanted to get out of there. Then she gave me a whole bunch of ties for free and we gave her a pass along card and left. That was weird.

We taught a guy named Frank the other day. What was cool about this guy is he said some of the same things Joseph Smith had said when he was searching for the truth. Things like " I'm concerned for my soul". Frank is an older guy and he wants to know where he is going when he leaves this temporary world. So we taught a lesson and invited him to Church. He said he would next week but not yesterday because he already promised another church he would come that day. So I look forward to teaching him again on Tuesday and then seeing him on Sunday.

The Church is true. It makes sense. All you have to do is pray about it.
Love ya.
