I had another encounter with the cops again. Elder Ito and I were talking to people on the street on Lake Avenue. Right next to our next appointment. This female cop drives passed us then reverses. She waves for me to come over. So I walk up and she asks, "What are you doing"? I said, "Walking around on this Sabbath talking to people". She glares at me and says, "Quit being a smart a**". "What are you doing"? She said, "Don't f*** around with me, what the He** are you doing"? I looked at her and said, "Don't use that language on the Lords special day, what we are doing is building up the peoples faith in Christ and by the sounds of it you need to go to church and clean your mouth out". I gave her a pamphlet and she "FLIPS" and asks to see our proselyting permits. So I pull mine out, Elder Ito pulls his out. Then she asks for our Licences and the number of whoever dropped us off here (Lake Ave. is right where we live). I gave her Brother Santos number (He is a detective in the city) our ward mission leader. She calls him and I guess he told her to pull out the Middletown law book and to look up some rules, So she did. She hangs up, looks at us writes our names down and said, Sorry for being a jerk". She told us what houses to stay away from.

Sorry about the swear words just trying to write the truth. Police sound like a fun group of people. Whatever happened to donuts and coffee?
Ben's letters always make me laugh! :) He needs some pictures to go along with each story!
We are trying to get him to send his memory card home so we can get some good pictures. I doubt he took a picture of the police officer!
