The Spy Who Kept Committments

The Spy who kept commitments:

On Monday night we got a call from some of the Spanish Elders saying that they had met this girl who just walked into church after their ward had ended and taught her the Restoration in the foyer she said she loved it and wanted to join the church. That's all well and good but then they referred her to us and things went out of control. I was on exchange on Tuesday but apparently she came to the last 15 minutes of Institute which was cool and all but then we invited her to the Come follow me activity the next night and the first red flag came about when she started texting and calling us from 9 different numbers all cryptic like. She called us during the come follow me activity and said she'd be there in 10 minutes. 10 minutes came and went and she was a no show. A whole hour and a half came and went, nada.

We called her when we got home and she said she was at Walmart(?) And we were kind of like okay whatever but it was around that time we hypothesized she was a spy. She called us from a different number the next day and said she left her glasses at institute so we met her at the church and started looking. She talked about how she was getting ready to move to Russia and suspicious stuff like that. She said she speaks: English, Italian, German, Spanish, Russian, and Korean. We didn't find her glasses, we talked with her a little bit, she was curious abkut the temple... too curious. Then she said she had to go. She left one side of the building and we left the other, we saw her walk through the parking lot straight toward the street with nothing but a short sleeve shirt and pants... It was freezing out side, no way she was walking. We quickly backed out the truck and tried to pursue, this was getting way to sus. We looked for her down the sidewall but all we could see was a silhouette shrouded in a blanket, she didn't have a blanket before, no way that was her. But, upon further examination it was. We did our best to shadow her with the truck not expecting her to do any out of the ordinary when all of the sudden she silently slipped between two bushes that lined a train yard. Flabbergasted, we spun around and drove into the train yard but there was no one there, just a few lonely trains and a cold, black sky. At first we reasoned "she's homeless" but if she was homeless we probably would have found her at the train yard so the only logical question is that she's a Russian spy collecting intel on the church to see if it was okay to let us build a temple there.

On a more spiritual note we've been grinding as best we can and it's really paid off, we've been blessed to find really solid people to teach and we've been able to stay really busy. Why, I even kind of got over my fears of college students.

I know that the full gospel of Jesus Christ has been restored and that a man may get closer to God by reading the Book of Mormon than by any other book.

Love y'all,
