One Busy Monday

This last week was an exciting one for Elder Rushforth. Here's the story as I got it in my letter:

"Hey Wendi and Gale,

Well, last week was great, but yesterday(Monday) was the best journal entry! It all started with a district meeting then lunch at Boppin Bo's a old style cafe! Mmmm Bottomless fries...know wonder I'm so fat. 130 lbs. After that we washed and waxed the district car that isn't even ours. What a wonderful entry! NOT! But wait, it gets much better! So we decided we better get something accomplished so we went out and started walking to do a drop by. While we were steadily strolling down 99th street a cop flips on his lights and pulls over toward us. My first instinct was crap they found me! run! but I did otherwise! The cop rolled down his window and said, "My wife said to flag you down becaues you love getting in normal clothes to do service. " Just as he is about to give us his info a old truck came puffing by with exhaust out the wasoo! He gives us his business card and goes about his duty! We put his card in our wallet and head on. On our way back to our house to have dinner we were stopped by a young man who wanted to talk to us! Sweet right? Wrong! his eyes were as glazed over as a freshly glazed donut! but he said he was suicidal so we sat down to talk. Just then, in a blink of an eye two police cares and an ambulance pull up! The cops come out with their hands on their guns and call the young man over and we leave. Further down the street we were stopped by two yuong men who asked if we knew the young man back there and we said no and found out they knew him from jail. We talked to them a little bit then went to dinner! Overall it was a exciting afternoon!

The evening was wonderful! We went to an appointment with a new investigator and they were actually there! Krista was someone we met at a yardsale(hers) and we came back and watched Finding Faith in Christ! We have another appointment Thursday!"

See, a very exciting day for Elder Rushforth! But it sounds like everything is going well and he's still working really hard!
