Every Missionary Has One of These Stories...

Here is an excerpt from Elder Rushforth's recent email...(complete with original spelling and grammar in true missionary fashion!)

"Well, I hope that everything is going good for you all! We have had a great week! This Saturday is the baptism of the eleven year-old and her brother who is eight! It has been awesome teaching the kids since we have to teach with simplicity. We also got a new investigator in the Pendleton first ward a young single mother with three kids who is looking for a church that not only she will enjoy and believes but that her kids will like and that will bless her family! What more could this church offer than everything she wants:) We are really excited to teach her and watch the change that will bless her and her kids lives! I love working with families!! Okay now for a good story! yesterday we went tracing and in Pendleton thier are no side walks on the out skirt of towns so we parked infront of a house on dirt like everyone does and went tracting. After coming back we had a letter telling us not to park there and dog dudu and leaves on our car so we get in and the lady that we tracted into first comes out and starts throwing yogurt at us! Luckily we were in our car and so nothing got on us. What a crazy experience I now understand a little well a very little about what Aaron and his brothers must have felt like as they were thrown out of cities and into prisons:) "

It's a good thing Elder Rushforth has a good attitude about pretty much everything!
