Horsing Around in Melbourne


This is a snippet from Jared's latest email:

"So on Melbourne Cup day (big horse race event), we woke up in the morning and went for a run. But then we found out that we locked ourselves out of the flat. So we ran 7 kms to the others flat to call someone to get our flat open, then we went to our ward picnic. That was heaps of fun and we had a good time. It was a really good turn out too.
Then we went on the trains to talk to people. The Cup had just ended and we got on the train and this drunk lady started talking to us asking us random questions and was telling us what a good job we were doing. Then she turns to her friends and says hey these Jehovah Witnesses are nice. We were just like ya, we're not J.W's and then one of her drunk friends was like oh, they're Mormons. Then this one lady that was with them was actually interested in what we were doing. So it turned into a massive Q and A in which the whole train was over hearing and this one girl got up to leave and she gave her number to Elder Fenochietti. We called her up later that night and she said she was interested in what we were saying. So we are meeting with her this week.
So that was cool.
Gotta love those drunk people. hahaha"
