Pirates & Proselyting

My calling is to work with the full-time missionaries. One of the Elders assigned to our ward had an infected eye last week, requiring that he wear an eye patch. For some reason, this made him nearly despondent. He didn’t want to be seen with it and was visibly bothered when anyone talked about it. Even saying “arrrgh” didn’t bring a smile to his face.

At our weekly meeting, I was shocked to learn that the eye patch hadn’t resulted in any additional teaching opportunities. Seriously, from which of these people would you rather learn religion?

I don't know hon, the elder's tie is awesome. And believe me, most women aren't that interested in what Johnny Depp is "saying" it's more what he's "doing."
