Hello friends and family
I saw a man walk into McDonalds with a dairy queen cup full of ice cream the other day.
Elder Taylor and were walking around talking to people in the streets when we saw a pillar of smoke in the distance. It was at a location we had just walked from so this peaked our interest (the fire department sirens did to). When we finally got to the location we found out that an abandoned building had caught on fire and crumbled to the ground. There are a lot of abandoned old houses here. This one caught fire. It could have been anything that started it. Drug usage gone wrong, someone covering up a drug den, squatter fire gone wrong... who knows! This place is so cool!
We also went to a lesson with someone who is going to be Baptized in a few weeks and she was a little busy when we showed up so we ended up waiting a few minutes. She lives near one of the many churches in Needles. One particular church has two abandoned cars parked on the sidewalk and we watched a homeless guy start taking some random trinkets from them. Normally this would be bad but this is the third character we have seen do this to these cars. We think it might be a homeless bank or storage or something. This place is so cool!
I have only been to the native American villages a handful of times but it is a lot of fun because when people are outside, they stare you down super hard especially because of the exceeding whiteness of our skin. The people are nice though. We are teaching a guy whose last name is Bullchild, so that is pretty cool. This place is so cool!
We are teaching a lot of people the Gospel here. This place has been prepared. The people are ready to commit themselves to Christ which is amazing. We have been blessed a lot here in the Needles Ward. There is a lot of work to do, but the Lord will provide. Honestly I wish I had more I wanted to share but I think this will do. Just some interesting things that have happened and just know that even in po-dunk Needles, The Lord watches over and prepares His people for the gospel.
Here is a picture of some skulls and antlers.
