The One With the Car Ride 9/11/17

Hey everyone!


So this week we had a cultural event in Modesto called Fiestas Patrias, where people in the mission boundaries get together and celebrate different cultures. It was a lot of fun and we were able to have one of the prospective elders we are working with give us a ride. He took us in his run-down ‘65 dodge that he has been trying to restore for the past ten years. We got in the car, all excited, and he tried to start the car but it wouldn't work, so he pulled some pliers out from under his seat, and started messing with some of the chords under the dashboard until the engine started. We somehow made it on the freeway, with the body of the car scraping the ground whenever we hit a bump. Haha my companion and I weren't exactly afraid for our lives, because he was a safe driver, but we did doubt just a little that we would make it home that night.


While we were tracting the next day after that, we ran into the house of one of our potential investigators and one of his friends, so we started to teach them about the Book of Mormon. Toward the end of the lesson, my companion looked at his friend and asked "haven't we met you before?", the man replied that we knocked on his door like three weeks before! Our two contacts are friends and we taught them together! Haha it was a funny coincidence.


Love you all!

Fiestas Patrias
