This post combines both Josh's June 9th and June 16th emails. Josh has loved his experience at the CCM but it seems his crew is ready to move on. He said they are all feeling super excited and ready for the mission field! They are all brushing up this last week on their Spanish but the real learning will come once they get out with the people. Josh and his companion, Elder Boyer were heading over to the temple and ran into a man that had recently committed to be baptized. Josh said he has never seen anyone more excited and proud to be baptized and how incredible it is to see the joy the gospel brings. A tid bit of info completely not gospel related but still very important :)... Elder Boyer went to Lone Peak High School and the quarterback from there is going to play for University of Utah next year. Rumor is he is really good! Go Utes! Elder Boyer and Elder Smith went into the city this past week proselyting and gave away a couple of Book of Mormons etc. It sounds as though in the area they were in a lot of the stores are just on the street. They decided to go into a barber shop which had no door so they just walked in and introduced themselves to the barber. He was the only one in the shop and was watching TV. They talked for a while and the barber asked the Elders to teach him so they did in their broken Spanish. The man began to sing I am a Child of God so Elder Smith (Josh) and Boyer sang along in English. The Barber fell to his knees and said he knew that what they were teaching is true. He had felt the spirit the minute they walked through the door. He asked if they could come back everyday to teach him. Josh and his companion gave the information to the local Elders so they could continue to visit him. Josh said it was an amazing experience. What a wonderful thing to have happen right before they head out to the mission field. These experiences will help Josh and Elder Boyer when the going gets tough! Josh said he is excited to be there and he believes it is the best place in the world to teach the gospel! He is absolutely right, for him it is!
