I don't have much time to email today! But I have a miracle to share! So we were out one night contacting people that our bishop had given us, as well as people we had found in our area book. As we were driving to park by this one persons house, I saw this guy sitting on his front steps talking on the phone. I waved, and didn't think much of it. We walked up to the persons house, and knocked. The address was wrong, and the people weren't very nice. So we started to walk back, and I saw that guy about 50 feet away from us. He was still on the phone. I had this impression to go talk to him. We walked over to him, but he was still on the phone. We stood there for about 3 min, and then he finally got off the phone. We started talking to him. I found out that he lived just down the road from where I lived back when I was in the Lakeridge 1 Ward. His name is Joel (Pronounced Jo-El), like Joel Anthony (Go Heat! hahaha). Found out I taught a lot of his friends from the streetball court in my last area, and he had heard from them about "a skinny white kid that could ball" (His words, not mine!). He doesn't have a religious background, but wants to rebuild a relationship with God. We're going to start teaching him this week! I'm really excited!

My last friend left on his mission this last Wednesday. It's crazy to think about what we were all doing this time last year. Now we are literally scattered all over the world! This work is true. If it wasn't, there is no way I would be here. I love being a part of it!!!!!

Sincerely,

Elder Michael Litchfield
