Hey!
Sister Harris did go to the same Columbine as the shootings. She is actually from Littleton, CO, and she wasn't there when the shootings happened. She was in Elementary but they evacuated the High School to her Elementary school, and she knows a lot of people that were there at the time of the shootings.
I hope you had fun in Ogden and with Dawn! My investigator from Africa actually went out of town a couple days after we talked to her, but we will see her when she gets back.
I am not sure yet what all the new technology will mean for me. We have a member of the 70 coming for a meeting with us in August so I think he will let us know how much this will change things at that meeting. But so far nothing yet. I am a little nervous for it as well, mostly because it will be hard to have to be on Facebook but not my own account, so I wouldn't be able to see what my friends are doing and stuff like that. If they do use Facebook I think it will make it really difficult for everyone but my mission President is pretty strict (which is good don't get me wrong) so I am not sure how much he will implement the new technology.
One funny experience for the week. So as a back-story, there are so many churches around but the local Baptist and Jehovah's Witnesses proselyte pretty heavily around town and one of the new investigators we got this week had just been tracted by the Jehovah's Witnesses. He came out to talk to us and he was complaining that we had just been by the day before but we reassured him that was not us, we are the only missionaries in the area, and we are completely different from Jehovah's Witnesses. He was one of the few in the area that would listen to us. So we are now letting that area sit for a little while.
We were able to take one of our investigators to the trail center on Thursday, to see the Witnesses of Christ exhibit. I think it went well. Her little boy was pretty distracting but I think that they had a good time. The Witnesses of Christ was really cool just because you can feel the spirit so strong and you literally just look at Christ's life chronologically. Her paintings are absolutely beautiful, so that makes it even better. I don't think she had ever heard much about Mormon History, so it was really eye opening for her to see all that they struggled with and how hard it really was. We went to the Cemetery as well and you can't go there without feeling a special Spirit there. It's so crazy to see the graves and the statue of the parents burying a child with the babies graves all around it. It's amazing! She had a lot of questions about the temple too!
Well I need to go but I love you!
