This week has been the best week on my mission so far. A lot has happened, so on Monday after we got done with our P-day at 6 we went to go teach one of our investigators named Lou. when we got to his house there were 2 policemen there and he was sitting on the hood of the cop car. Then an ambulance showed up and they took him away. So yeah he was gone for this whole week until Saturday. This is like the 4th time it has happened apparently. So that lesson fell through haha. Then that night when we were driving home we saw a huge group of motorcycles in a parking lot, so we went to check it out. They were all like doing burnouts and riding wheelies down the road and doing crazy stuff! So we pulled over across the road and took some videos, but while we were driving there we saw like 7 cops down the street at a gas station. We think they were all getting ready to bust them or something. It was like real life fast and furious!! Unfortunately we had to leave before we saw it happen because we have a curfew.....it was still pretty cool though.
So there was a play going on this week called The Book of Mormon. If you don't know what it is you probably shouldn't try to find out. The people that make South Park made this play. It is a really crude play and basically makes fun of Mormons. They also tell a lot of false beliefs about the church. We were told by the the head council of the church to go to this play and to stand up for what we believe in. Only 8 missionaries got to go to this play though and I was one of those along with my companion. There was 8 showings of the play starting on Tuesday and running till Sunday. They were at 8-11 on the week days and on Saturday and Sunday there was 2 showings, one at 2 and one at 7. We got home at about midnight every night, and still had to wake up at 6. I have been so tired haha. We actually had a lot of success with it though. We would stand outside the doors of the place (Ruth Eckerd Hall) and hand out Book of Mormons, restoration pamphlets, and free Book of Mormon cards. In total we handed out around 1200 Book of Mormons and just as many pamphlets. We had so much fun with it though. We took tons of pictures with people. If you look up #bookofmormonplay I'm sure you will find pictures of us. We got pictures with the cast too haha. It was so cool though because so many people now have a Book of Mormon or a pamphlet that they didn't have before and if they actually read it it will change their life. We just planted the seed for all of those people, we even got quite a few people that said they would like missionaries to come by so we got their information. We even got the security and valet guys a Book of Mormon. It was an awesome experience.
That is all for this week, I hope that you all have a great week and try to plant that seed for somebody, it could turn out to be something great. I love you all!!
Love Elder Hudson
