Hey Family,

Things in Evansville have been great this past week. Elder Fry and I
have hit about our halfway mark of tracting our area. We have gotten
some cool people to teach these past couple weeks. My favorite one (is
it ok to have favorites? idk?) is a guy named Tom. He is 45, divorced
and is one of the most Christlike people I have ever met. The fun
thing about teaching him is that he is smart.
I have grown to love the Bible and I have studied it a little too much. I can probably quote 30-40 scriptures word for word and probably 30 other references. So wehave some great talks about how the Book of Mormon cannot go hand in hand with the bible. We had a great lesson with him this past Saturday and he had probably put 30 hours worth of study into why the Book of Mormon can't be the word of God. These conversations in no way are
heated.
But we went in there and bore testimony to him and he is now
really trying to have the spirit tell him what is true. It was a
pretty cool experience and it is one that is hard to explain.
I don't have much time. I am going to a monistary today for our p-day
and it is only 1 of 9 in the world! It is where the monks study and
stuff like that. So I am stoked. I will send my sd card home next week
so you can see all the pics.

Love you,

Elder Dye
