Hello there :)
So the mission is one
that you really have to find joy in the simple sometimes. Today we were shopping in Walmart and we were
in the market for some jelly, to make some tasty sandwiches. The lord really
blessed us :) why you may say, because Elder Hosman and I got the last
Raspberry all natural jelly in the Store!! People were looking at us weird when
we got excited and gave one another high fives over jelly :)
SO…. I have a great
Ghetto story by popular demand haha.
Elder Hosman and I were out going to see a Mien member. We walked up to
the door and have it a solid 5 knocks as usual. When out of nowhere, we heard
pop pop pop pop pop pop!! We turned around to see a dark Blue Grand am Speed
past as they put 8 bullets into a Ford Expedition. Nobody was hurt in the
shooting but Elder Hosman and I were eyes witness to the whole thing. A man
comes out of the house that was the place of the shooting and he was covered
with tattoos from head to toe by the looks of it. It was very obvious that we
were just in between an act of gang violence. Right away the man with all the
tattoos called some of his "homies" and said " I know who it was
and we got to get them *&%&*%@. The part that was really sad that after
he got off the phone, 2 little girls came out of the house crying and needed
some attention. The man called for a woman in the house to grab the kids and to
take them somewhere else. They got out of the area and the cops showed up an
hour later, the reason being that no one got killed so it was not high on the
list of priorities. We had to give our statement to the police and we moved on
our way knocking on a couple of doors. Haha :) oh the life in the Ghetto
WELL I hope that no
one is being shot at, it is a scary experience. I love you and appreciate you. Much
love Elder Merkley
