It has been kind of a crazy week, but all is well. I get to go to the temple tomorrow with Elder Sorensen, so I am pumped for that to prepare for conference and receive revelation for my district and also for Elder Russell M. Nelson coming.

We met a random guy on the street that just so happened to be carrying a 1858 edition of the Book of Mormon, the second printing ever.  He just happened to have a huge file of all the papaerwork and proof of signature by some famous New York Mormon guy... so that was super random and super weird.  He isn't a member or anything.  He just picked it up at a swap meet for like 3 bucks.  He had it appraised for 10,000 bucks.... He wasn't interested in learning about the Church or anything.  He said he has already done a ton of research on it and his book, but he was super intrigued when I told him about a living day Moses, and how our prophet will speak this weekend, so hopefully something will come of that. 

I saw a bunch more rich people, and knocked the biggest house of my mission so far. It was a huuuge mansion with 2 guest houses on the side of the long walk up the drive way. The guest houses were twice as big as our house... Lamborghinis, Porsches, all of it.  Nobody answered, but it was cool anyway.
 
Love,
Elder Parrish
