Satan got wrecked

Dear family,

I would like to base this email on a challenge that came from God for our mission between the dates of June first and June eleventh. The challenge was to find 1000 new Amis in the mission between those dates because they were the dates of the strikes here in France. Satan thought he had us good when the strikes started, but this is how we punched him straight in the kisser.

On Tuesday, elder Wilkey and I went tracting together because elder Pesnell got stuck at the church for about 7 hours doing branch affaires. It's a little bit of an interesting dynamic when your comp is in the branch presidency but we deal with it.

The next day seemed foreboding because of the endless tracting, but we were ready and willing! I didn't stop laughing all day basically. We were on exchange with elder Thangaraj who I love. The events most memorable events of the day included elder Pesnell stepping in poop, elder Pesnell getting peed on by a dog, and elder Pesnell getting pooped on by a bird. He was pretty done with this day and he answered a phone call. Me and elder Thangaraj went up to this gate overrun with weeds and vines. I went to walk away because it looked like no one lived there but the spirit told me otherwise. I pushed open the door and walked onto the porch. After I knocked I said to elder Thangaraj, "if we find someone here, I'll flip." As soon as I finished those words a 30ish year old man came to the door. He ended up asking us to come back and share our message. What a miracle!

On Thursday, we drove from Bastia to corte to end the exchange and get back elder Wilkey. Then we drove to Macinaggio to teach someone. Then down to luri to teach someone else. And then back to Bastia. I took a bunch of phone numbers to call people in the car in order to show my faith. Over about 6 hours of driving, I had no one really even answer the phone. I was a little discouraged. Anyway, the person in Macinaggio became a new investigator so that was number one for the day. At the end of the day, we knocked on 5 doors and got 3 new investigators! Bam! Satan got jacked up.

On Friday a guy that knew elder Wilkeys brother took us to lunch and dropped €107. It was really nice and I'm so great full. We did a lot of finding that day and got 4 new investigators. Bam. Satan RekD. We finished the night at the home of a partial member family and we taught a ton to the kids. The mom sings primary songs with them and they showed us that they had it memorized. They are such a great family.

On Saturday we found three new investigators. Bam. Satan got bodied. We ate in the evening with an atheist couple that loves us. They are vegan and they fed us some good food. They are really cool. It was just a normal night with some normal people which was actually pretty odd.

In Sunday we ran church because our branch Prez wasn't there. Then we did some work.

We ended the challenge by finding 13 new investigators which is pretty much unthinkable here on Corsica. But, we did it. I pray that they will be able to learn of Jesus and come to him.

Love,
Elder Marshall Underwood
