"No... what about President Monson?"

Hi everybody.

This week was great! We visited a lady named Wendy this last Saturday. She is a very interesting women. Never really learned about religion and Jesus Christ much but claims to be Christian. We taught her a lot of new concepts and eternal principles that she found beautiful and life changing. We are excited to go back and teach her more. She lives alone with her two special needs dogs. They are the funniest dogs i have ever seen. One is a chubby Pug with no front legs. It hops around on its back legs and sits up like a person would. Sometimes it walks around like a lawn mower hitting its face on the ground. It is the weirdest creature i have ever seen. Super cute though.

Hearing that Thomas Monson passed away was a sad/peaceful experience.

We were actually at a members house for dinner two days after his death when Sister Waite said, "So I am sure you guys heard about President Monson." I just looked at her with a worried expression and replied, "No... what about President Monson?" No one told us that he had passed away until we visited a members home two days later. Everyone's testimonies about a living prophet this past Sunday were strengthening.

Sincerely,
Elder Allen
