THE GOLDEN ROAD

For the past four months we have been getting up at 5:15 in the morning to help the seminary teacher with his class, it has been hard to do this because first of all I am not a morning person, but we started with the project and we wanted to finish it. So to make things more fun for me I would start talking to every body on the way there as we walked to the church, about 8 blocks away. You can't believe the people that we started to get to know, like all the night guards and the gal that opens up the taco stand in the morning and the people sweeping up the leaves. Some times I would carry candy with me and tell them to have a sweet day, or just wave at them. Connie would leave before me because I walked faster then her and I would always stop and talk to people . Hard to believe hun. After giving away lots of candy and oranges and of course three Books of Mormon it has been a great experience. And best of all the last one we gave a book to said the he had lived his whole live with out drinking or smoking and when I gave him the Joseph Smith pamphlet he had almost memorized it and could not believe that I was giving him the Book of Mormon. His name is Mario, and his turn s 57 on the first of June. I told the Elders about him and also about another guard that had read the whole book of Mormon in 2 weeks. And all these people we met just because we wanted to help the teacher with his class. The class will end for the summer and I am for one looking forward to sleeping in a little bit longer but we are glad that we found these golden people, the Lord does work in mysterious ways and even early ways.
