Hey Momma!

I'm emailing earlier than usual today, so maybe you wont freak out and send me ten emails asking if I had forgotten to email you.
I'll be on a little later too, so if you get on in like an hour or two, I might be able to chat with you (send emails back and forth quickly.)
Simon and Mila: We met Simon on the street and told him that we were representatives of Jesus Christ and that we had a short, but very important message that we'd like to share.  He asked us what faith we belonged to, and we told him.  He had never met Mormons, but wanted to find out a little bit about them.  He seemed interested in knowing facts about Mormons, from the source.  But, hey, a return appointment is a return appointment.  So about a week later, we met him at a little french cafe near Leamington town centre.  We started just talking to him, and he told us his wife might show up, so after maybe ten minutes, she did.  We sipped at some really good hot chocolate, and they got a tea and a coffee.  Haha ouch.  But we had a really deep conversation.  They both grew up Catholic, but it seemed like only Simon really still believed in it.  Mila started asking us questions, like "How did your church start?" and "Where do you believe we go after we die?"  Pretty much playing straight into our righteous trap.  It was awesome.  We gave them a Book of Mormon and asked them to read 3 Nephi 11 I think, and they seemed like they legitimately would.  Simon was going to be out of town for a week though, so we're supposed to call them today and see when we can meet with them again.  Hopefully everything goes well with that.  Actually, hopefully they've both read the whole Book of Mormon and can't wait to get baptized.  That's what I really hope.

Hey, I'll finish this email when I get on later.  They wont let me extend 15 minutes today, like they usually do, but I still have another hour on computers, I just have to walk a little ways to the other library.

I love you!
I'll be on in like a couple hours maybe.
Love, Elder Smart
