April 5
Hello Everyone Not much is going on just work as usual. We heard a cool story, these two Elders were going to be exactly obedient and on time for every thing. At one of the appointments they had some extra time so they were making calls and one of them had a impression to smile at a man in a car passing by. The car came back and called them Elders so they knew he must know them. Then he gave them lots of refrences . For people they could make appointments with . The Missionaries were so excited they ask if he was one the three Nephites he said funny you should ask my name is John ... John P Cook. We thought it was funny but it made us all want to be exactly obedient because you never know how the Lord will bless us Conference was awesome. I loved most of the talks. Did you see all ten hours? My favorite was of course President Gibson and then my other favorite was President Holland. He always has a way of making you feel what he is saying. All the talks had such great messages in them. We went to the church building to watch all the sessions. I missed being able to sit in my pajamas and watch it in my living room. But I think being at the church in my suit made me pay attention a little more. Another little funny story. 2 gay guys called us faggs on our way into a 7 /11. We didnt really pay attention because people are always yelling stuff at us. Then they felt bad and came into the store said they were sorry and gave us 10 bucks. We laughed and said we were glad they had a guilty concience. ha ha . Its a funny thing people make fun of us all the time then they turn around and do something nice for us.. People buy us food or give us money all the time because we are missionaries. Most of the people that do this are not LDS. It makes you wonder .. I hope that someday they will want to hear this great message I have for them. I guess mom has been wanting more emails and longer emails. I will see what I can do. I love you all Stay Classy Elder Schmidt
