Transfered !

Part of Oct. 19th E-mail from Cory....

Good morning!! So I got transferred to... clairemont! I'm still in the same zone. And this area is right next to my last area(pacific beach) I really like it here.. the ward seems really good and missionary minded. My companion is Elder Thompson.. He's from richfield UT. Lol he's the funniest kid. We always played basketball as a zone last transfer so I already knew who he was. He's 6'5 so it looks pretty cool when we walk down the street :) He goes home after this transfer though! We've already had some crazy stuff happen lol. We got our car towed the first day we were together.... lol but we didn't have to pay anything to get it back.. the apartment manager helped us out. And then.... we weren't able to go to the BYU game BUT there was a BYU fireside at our stake center last friday and we got to go :) They do a fireside the night before every game. Bronco talked, an offensive lineman, and their backup quarterback, gaskins or something? And then after it was over we went up and talked to bronco mendenhall! Shook his hand and everything.. BOOM! We talked to harvey Unga too :) got his autograph. woot.

Cory 9/28 E-mail - The Lord works in Mysterious Ways

Something else kind of cool happened last week too... we went to visit Fred(which we usually dont just stop by cause he doesn't really like us dropping in on him) but we did anyway. He lives in north PB, which is kind of a rougher area. well we parked a block or two away from freds house and walked over and talked to him for a bit. While we were talking to him outside we heard a bunch of sirens and saw a police helicopter flying overhead.. so we're like what the crap? We talked with him for like 5 minutes then we started back to our car. And, on the street where our car was parked there was like 6 cop cars, a car crashed into a house, and a bunch of cops wrestling with this guy. we just kind of watched and listened to this guy yell and scream. and fight with the cops. ( He was on Heroin) when we were watching this lady came up to us and told us what happened. She said that This guy had gotten into two fights with his girlfriend and had gotten into a couple car crashes, and she had seen this guy fight his girlfriend. So talked with him and tried to cool him down. She said that he was talking about suicide or taking someone elses life. While she was talking with him she saw me and elder shelton pull up in our car, park across the street and walk over to Freds house. She said that when she saw us get out and start walking, it felt like jesus was walking with us. That there was just a glow, an amazing feeling coming from us. Lol, its kind of funny cause we had no clue what was going on. But anyways, while we were talking this lady pulled into the driveway where we were standing. We got talking to her and found out that she was a less-active member and has kids that hasnt been baptized. She's been going through some rought times in life, and... wants to get back to church. So.. we set up an appt and we're going over there on thursday to teach her and get her back to church! Cool huh? what are the odds of all of that stuff happening perfectly? the lord works in misterious ways. We're also gonna be teaching the first lady that came up to us and told us what happened. :)




Love you all, hope you have a great week!
