Rain! Rain! Rain! -- sent 4/25/11

Hola!
 
So, last week, we heard that a number of thunderstorms, tornados, and high winds were on our way and they would last for some time. Well, I don't know how the rest of the mission is being affected by the weather, but it has not stopped raining since the beginning of last week. I feel like i'm in Seattle...even though i've never been there. I've only heard it rains a lot there. Weather like this does not completely stop the work but it does create an irritant.
 
Something really interesting happenen this week. So, on wednesdays we have our district meetings where we go to the institute building right next to MSU campus, and after the meeting a student attending comes walking into the institute and tells us of a man thats preaching on campus. So, Elder Bracken quickly jumped on that and all four of us that live in our apartment walked over to the campus with this student member. When we got to the place, we saw this old man in his sixties walking back and forth on this pavillion telling all of the students around him that they were sinners and they needed to repent and that he was sent from God to preach the truth unto them. It was quite entertaining, and there was quite a crowd of students heckling him because he saying things that he had no authority to say. A couple of things he stated were that you can have no sin in you to preach the gospel; he had also seen Jesus Christ 4 times and He gave him authority to preach the gospel; he also stated that he was perfect...anyway he talked a lot about sinning and the avoidence of sin. But, Elder Argyle and I had a good conversation with a guy who was watching and we invited him out to church at the university ward. Something good may have come from that guy's rant.
 
Anyway, I hope you are all doing well and are safe. I pray for you every night that God will protect you and that you will be blessed in your temporal daily activities.
 
I love all of you very much and I thank you for your support.
 
Elder Brad Fellows
