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.
