SOME DAYS YA GOTTA WONDER.

May 6, 2011 Friday

A few days ago we received a referral for a guy whose name was remarkably close to the name of a ward member who had moved. Orson and Tai went there this morning and he said he moves every 6 months or so. He also told them he’d been “excommunicated by mistake.” Evidently his sister wanted somebody to drop by on him. He wasn’t exactly receptive.
This afternoon, we looked up a sister on the ward list that nobody seems to know. She was very friendly. She proceeded to tell us that her daughter worked at a “lingerie club.” “Better than working on the streets,” she said. She told us how she used to go to the club and how all the folks there used to call her a party girl. She even told us how they were throwing her up into the air not long after a surgery. Sure glad we don’t have to live like that.
Later this afternoon, we went to teach a lesson to a lady who is a member and her non-member husband. This was part of the “15 Member Program” in the ward. She told us she’d studied to be a preacher in the Church of Christ. Then she wondered if we really needed prophets and why couldn’t we just believe in Christ. Then she wondered if reincarnation had any truth to it. Her husband had been baptized into the church once but then asked to have his name removed. They go to a bible study group of a friend of theirs. It was really a challenge to even keep them focused on one idea for more than a minute.
Where do these people come from?
