Journal Entry from 06/19/12 - Deanna

June 19, 2012

Today we met with Deanna (between 35-50) and Vince (26). and they are engaged...but they havent got married because of their insurance and they need their meds. anyway, at first it seemed like they just had issues and might wanna use the system. but then when Deanna left to use the bathroom and she came back down she told us she prayed for the strength to come back to listen to our message. and she knows that we are not there to help with temporal needs but to strengthen and uplift mentally emotionally and spiritually. we shared the message of the restoration and strongly emphasized the atonement of Christ and the hope it brings. and then we asked them to be baptized, and they are gonna work towards august 18.

Journal Entry from 06/15/12 - Ryan

June 15, 2012

Today I met Ryan. He is 26. He is.....quite the character! He was rooming with Mitch an older man we met a while ago and when we got there Ryan was tellin us weird things were going on around that place and he has no idea where Mitch) was and he was talkin about some hog farm. so Ryan thinks that Mitch got knocked off by Daddy (the landlord) and hawled him off to the hog farm. then Ryan was askin about his "spiritual" experience he was in a field with his friends and started eatin the mushrooms they found...so we had to tell him there is a difference between being high and feeling the spirit. awkward!
