Howdy Howdy.
To start out this week we had Zone Conference up in Odessa on Tuesday which was great!! Always a good time in Odessa. We went to Walmart for a few minutes after Zone Conference and we noticed this older guy that was kind of following us... I finally turned around and started talking to him, and apparently he was homeless and just lost his job, and was trying to provide for his family. He was asking us for money or basically anything that he could sell to make some money. I told him that that ain't gonna happen haha... In a more polite way... but he told us that the reason he was following us was because we were close with Jesus and he needed some blessings!1 So we asked if we could say a prayer with him.... he said yes but only if he could say it and stand in a circle and hold hands!! He gave one of the most heart felt prayers I have ever heard!! He prayed for us and our safety and to also help us find success!! He was a really cool guy once we got to know him more!!
This week we also went on a little drive out to some of our outlining towns to see if we could talk with any of our less actives!! We went to one member! Sister Griggs... and holy crap she is one of the craziest old ladies I have met while I've been here in Fort Stockton haha!! She opened the Door and Screams " Holy Christmas... it's about dang time y'all came to visit" haha she totally reminds me of Mrs. Mecham...love ya auntie ha... She gave us some Dr. Pepper and we sat in her front yard and talked for about an hour and a half about some of her past and then lots about the gospel! She wanted to come to church, but doesn't have a car besides her husbands that works in the oil fields!! She wants us to actually come back next Monday and split wood for her so that is our plan after we email next week!!
Hope y'all have had a great week!! The church is true.
love ya bye
