Dear Mom,

 

Colby didnt tell me the story but he did tell me about his call. I got very excited :)

I know a guy in his mission. He says that he will take care of him and will even ask his president to be his trainer. He will be well taken care of the first few months of his mission. I cant believe that i have been out a year. I dont know where the time has gone. I dont have a lot of time this week to write you. I received a lot of emails this week. So i will tell you a story that happend this week.

 

I was walking to an appointment the other day and there was this teenage kid about fifteen feet in front of me. I hear sombody yell and then look to my left and see three armed police men with their guns drawn. They shoot at the guy while they run across the street dodging traffic. I duck into a bikini shop and watch the kid run. I wait for about a minute and then keep walking. As i walk by i see the police standing over the guy. He had run into a dirt road area behind a wall so i couldnt see much but im pretty sure he lived. The police dont know how to shoot here.

 

The same day we were walking in an area that we see drug dealers all the time. I went into a members house to use the bathroom. As i come out onto the road my companion who arrived in the area two weeks ago tells me that a bunch of armed thugs walked past and were guarding a nearby alley. A few minutes later they yelled police and all ran into the same house i had just left. The funny part was i recognized one of our investigators holding a big pistol. I said hi to him and he waved back. The really funny part is that i saw one of our investigators there. I said hi to him :)
