I don't know how you do it, but every week you all sound so
amazing! It sounds like you are really making the most of the summer and
that you are having lots of fun. Everyone looks so grown up in those photos!!
Before too long Pete and Jack are going to be passing up Randy! That is
awesome about the wedding. I am glad you got to meet some of the
Taylor's! They sound like great people! Also, grandma and grandpa are
looking great in those photos!
We had a couple of really cool experiences this week! So, over this
past little while we have been developing a really good relationship
with our bishop. Like, really good. He is such a cool guy. He is way
into skating, and he is not at all like what you
would think a bishop would be like. Anyways, he has been moving lately
so we have had the opportunity to help him out! The last few days we
worked our tails off, and I am not going to lie I don't know if I have
ever been more tired than that on my whole mission.
It was just furniture after bed after table after fridge. . . not to
mention that it was up four flights of stairs!! Ahh man, it was killer!
Saturday when we got done I just wanted to crash on the bed and sleep
until the next morning. . . but, no naps as missionaries
haha. . . It was a great experience though and we really gained his
trust!
We had a cool experience this week towards the end of the night. We
had worked really hard throughout the whole day and we hadn't seen much
success. We were walking home when we saw this lady talking on the
phone, it was time to go in so we said hello!
and kept walking. After a few steps she yells, hey come back here! We
were like, okay. . . We went back and she said, are you the Mormons? We
said yeah! She said, I was taught by you when I was a kid and was
baptized and it really helped me in my life. She
then said, and I want the same thing for my daughters. So, follow me.
She then led us to her to daughters and said, teach them and baptize
them. They were watching the soccer game, so they weren't too engaged,
so we agreed to come back another night and we
are going to stop by and see them this week probably! Cool miracle huh?!
Haha.
We had one guy on a bus that we had contacted awhile ago who
actually contacted us and said, can you teach me about repentance? We
then sat down on a bench and began to teach him how he could use Jesus
Christ to start over and change his life. He loved
it and we are going to be teaching him again next week! That never
happens! When does anyone come up to you and say can you teach me about
repentance??
Last but not least. . .

An incredible miracle. . .
As I told you we had the first sighting of a baseball field not too
long ago. The perfect thing is that there are a few really good
neighborhoods in the area where we can knock doors, so we pass by there
every so often to see if we can catch anyone playing.
. . Well. . . this last P-Day we caught someone. . .
After some hesitation we decided to go and talk to them. They were
really cool and we sat there and watched them play for a minute. They
were kind of a scrappy crew and the pitcher was having a hard time
getting the ball to home plate. After a minute I
turn to the catcher and ask, hey can I try one? Keep in mind that we are
in our white shirts and ties. . . anyways he laughs and says, hey guys
he wants to try and throw one! I grab a glove and start walking out to
throw a few warm up pitches. I started out
slow and slowly started to warm up the heat. After I hopped on the mound
and started bringing it a little quicker. . . Instantly all laughs
stopped and I don't know if this is true, but Elder Taylor said that
jaws were dropped. I then went on to, well, pitch
a no hitter haha. It was a blast and for a second Elder Taylor had them
going that I was going to go and play for the redsox! Afterwards they
came up to me and were like, could you please come and teach us? We
could have practices! Do you have a french number?!
It was super funny. . .
Anyways, the miracle was that we went back and played again with
them. Now, these guys who never would have listened to us before are
completely opening up and after one of them gave us a ride home in which
we were able to talk to him a little about our
message. It was really cool because after we broke the barrier of them
thinking we were weird from the white shirts and ties we have been able
to teach a little about who we are and what we believe!
Pretty cool huh?!
Well, everything is going great and S...... is going to get baptized this week!!!!!
Love you!
Elder Beyer
