Bonus letter!‏

Miya got a letter in the mail from Denton and the story was so amazing we're posting it.



So there is a woman and she is what I like to call a Snake, a venomous, cold blooded reptile thats bite causes death.  Or, in other words, a woman who tries to make missionaries fall and get sent home and she is a really dangerous snake too.  I was not present for this first part of the story:

One day, two missionaries were leaving the Church when they stopped to admire the beautiful lake.  Well as they were looking at the lake the neighbor girl was getting out of the shower and she looked out the window and saw the two missionaries chillin' on the porch, and decides that she is going to test their faith a little bit. 

So she drops her towel, opens the window and, as she is completely naked, calls out to the missionaries.  They turn around and see her and like good little missionaries, they close their eyes and turn away.  (this is where I came into the story)

A couple of months pass by, and not knowing the history about this woman, a visiting missionary named Elder Crockett wants to meet the neighbors and instantly he becomes friends with this girl and her family.  Well, Elder Crockett is chillin on the porch with the District President and the Pres tells Elder Crockett the story of this family and how because of her, more than one missionary in the past has had some problems in their mission.  So Elder Crockett, knowing his own weakness decided to pray about this situations. 

And he prayed, "Dear Heavenly Father, please protect the missionaries here and please bless that another experience like this will never happen again with this woman."

A little while later we find our missionary in another city where he was going to meet up with a companion who he hadn't seen in a while due to temporary transfers and when he meets up with him, he tells him, "Elder Crockett, while you were gone, the neighbor's house burnt down in the middle of the night." 

When Elder Crockett returns later, he visits the neighbors and learns that due to damages to the property, they will not be able to build the house in the same place, and they now have plans to rebuild the house on the other end of the property, which just happens to be blocked by a wall of the Church and a bunch of trees. 

After learning this, Elder Crockett goes to the porch of the church and gazes over to where the new house will be built when he realized that it will be physically impossible to see any naked women in the new house due to all the obstacles blocking the way.  He then realized that his prayer was answered.  A few days earlier he prayed that the missionaries would not have problems with this woman again, and a few days after, the house burns down and it's impossible to rebuild in the same place.  So he says a prayer of gratitude, thanking his Heavenly Father for answering his prayer and even though he did not intend for his prayer to burn a house down, he was grateful that God loved his son enough to answer his little plea for protection.

The moral of the story is don't get naked in front of missionaries or one day Elder Crockett might come by and burn your house down with the fire of his faith.     BAAAHAHAHAHAHAH.
