Dear Dad..

This is a letter Talon sent Dad...

Man im not looking forward to more cold weather. Thats not good news!
Yeah Alabama is not so bad. Though this week has been...intresting. I
finally got chased off of someones property. I knew that it was going
to happen at some point in my mission. It was funny. The man was
overly Dramatic about us "Just Leaving his property." His daughter was
like pushing him back. After everything was said and done I just
laughed it off and kept on working. I thought it was funny. Im sorry
to hear that buissness are closing down home. Which ones specifically?
I hope the economy gets better. For everyones sake. You can see that
the economy effects people here in the south. Its just tough times all
around. Thats why people need the gospel right? :) hahaha I think so,
but what do I know im just some 19 yr old kid thats been brain washed.
Thats what some people think about us down here. Some are really open
minded and can see that a preacher getting paid is.....strange. Just
because wasnt gods gospel free? Our answer is.." Yes" they seem to
like that. Though we met with this one lady and she said that Joseph
Smith seeing god the father and Jesus was and I quote, " An intresting
Concept." That was just offensive to me and my companion both. We
couldnt believe that. Just shows the ignorance of some people.
Somedays are like that. It seems like when ever we get our foot in the
door, talking with people that are intrested. They get ahold of some
Anti-Material and they refuse to talk to us. Im not going to lie dad
its frustrating. We do have a baptism for March 5th though which is
GREAT! im happy about that. Now all we have to do is keep it that way.
Thats going to be the hard part. Well I love you dad and Know that I
think of you everyday. By the way will you give me Larrys address so I
can send him and Donald a letter. They have been on my thoughts lately
and I want to get in contact with them. If you could do that for me
that would be great!
