Hello family!
I love you all! I hope you all enjoyed general conference, because I certainly did! It was amazing! How blessed we are to live in a time when the voice of a prophet can be heard around the world by millions of members of the Church of Jesus Christ! I know that Thomas S. Monson is a prophet of God; he stands with Moses and Abraham, declaring repentance and salvation!
I usually take a question or two to conference, prayerfully seeking answers and guidance. I made a list of about five this time and was pleased to receive answers to each of them. The Spirit teaches us all truth and God is more than happy to answer those who ask.
Well, other than an incredible weekend of conference, we had sort of a weird week. I felt the subject of this email was fitting, considering. Well, first considering the fact that I actually did find a wig in the closet this morning (I'll probably take pictures sometime ...) and second, because it's descriptive of some of the people we met this week while knocking doors. I won't go into too much detail, but we had several instances of indecent exposure and we met just about the creepiest man ever. (One of our branch members knew exactly who he was when we told her the story and she thankfully told us he's harmless.) He invited us in when we knocked on his door and greeted us in a very high porch, calling us "buddies". Inside his home there were mounds of dolls of every variety like something out of a horror flick (or a really creepy music video we used to watch in German class in high school). A cage sat in the corner in which a featherless chicken strutted about contentedly. We gave our new friend a Book of Mormon and left as quickly as we could. Yep.
We're doing a lot of work here, although we haven't done very much teaching. I'm hoping we'll be able to start teaching a few less-active members and continue finding new investigators.
Love you all,
Elder Cloward
