Day 133 – Setting the Record Straight-08-08-06
Okay. I’ve made some jokes about Brother D. O., but I need to set the record straight. He’s not dumb, by any means. He’s pretty smart. He reads a lot. There are books all through his apartment. Some books that he’s read: biographies about famous Americans like Robert E. Lee, Andrew Jackson, Benjamin Franklin and many more. He even has read all six Harry Potter books. He can’t wait for the seventh to come out. Brother O also has a huge gospel research library with many books about church history and gospel doctrine. He has a pretty impressive library. Brother O just does odd things from time to time, that’s all.
Like this morning…we went over to visit him. We had a nice chat about how he knew that he needs to start coming back to church. When it was time to leave, he wanted to walk us home. We didn’t have the heart to tell him that we weren’t heading home. His apartment is only about 5 minutes away from our apartment, so we walked back with him. We’d brought our bikes with us, so we just ended up pushing them along until we got back to our apartment. “See you guys later,” he said. He turned and started walking back to his apartment. It was kind of sweet in a way.
Later in the evening we stopped by J’s place to see if he’d be able to go to the Visitor’s Center sometime. J wasn’t there, but his friend Y was. Y was there on {Day 128}. He and J watched the Bruce R. McConkie dvd with us. He liked it and wants to know more about the church. We’ve got a meeting scheduled to teach him on Sunday. So far we are scheduled to go to the V.C next Saturday. Look for {Day 144} of my journal to see what happens.
Hopefully, we’ll be able to get J to go with us. Y is looking forward to it as well as meeting with us this Sunday. That’s it. That’s my Happy Thing for Day 133. Talking with Y about a trip to the Visitor’s Center. We may not even end up going, but just talking about going is a highlight in my book. I’m glad that we finally have a new investigator. Since all of our other investigators fell away for one reason or another, we’ve had a hard time finding new ones. Hopefully, this is the start of a change for the better in Herndon. Well, see ya tomorrow. P-day! Oh, the Joy!
