Pics + Email

Sorry if i repeated any pictures from the last post. Also, sorry but i don't have captions for the pics. These are pictures i took off of the SD card he sent me.
Enjoy!





Elder Pierce Forwarded the email he sent to his Dad because he wanted me to hear the story he wrote David. He made up the name "Carl" for the investigator. Here's the story.

"Okay about my investigator carl. well carl about 5 days ago had no job about to get evicted with no where to go, he has a girlfriend that he lives with and two children, no money, basically no hope. two weeks ago he was considering going back to selling drugs, luckily we talked him out of it. well about a week and a half ago he told us that he doesnt see much hope and that he needs help and he wants to learn about faith next time we come over. so the next time we go we read with him the chapter out of the gospel principles book on fatih and he really believed that it would work. we talked about having faith and putting in teh works. after that lesson he came to church he started to work his butt of trying to find a job visiting everywhere he could but with no luck. so about 5 days ago it was looking pretty bad for him. but he said he didnt give up the faith and he kept looking. he woke up one morning and started calling jobs out of the phone book (this is two days before hes about to get evicted) and he finds someone that says come a pick up an application. he goes right when he hangs up and talks with the head guy who gives him an interview. that same day shannon his girlfriend (also trying to exercise faith) got a call from her mom saying that she found a great deal on a condo, no crimanal backround, no credit check, etc all you need is $850, okay im running out of time but long story short in one day the lord turned everything around they got a house carl is getting a job shannon also has an interview today with someone and within 24 hours of them paying off the car they had they got a new better one. carl was so excited and called us and he was on cloud 9 let me tell you. so that was a pretty cool miracle. i really saw this guy and his family at rock bottom and now they are doing so well all because of faith.
i hope that story makes sense it would be easier to explain in person. okay i gotta go.
im still working hard dont worry things are great.
love elder pierce"

this way you can make up your own captions and let your imagination grow :) I thought that would be best
