Using Classic Cars in Contacting

Well we knocked into a man named Loren because I saw the 1973 white with blue racing stripes, Chevelle in his driveway and it was beautiful, we were talking with him and I shared a scripture with him, Mosiah 1:6 “O my sons, I would that ye should remember that these sayings are true, and also that these records are true. And behold, also the plates of Nephi, which contain the records and the sayings of our fathers from the time they left Jerusalem until now, and they are true; and we can know of their surety because we have them before our eyes.”

I am still working on my door approach so when I get home and go door to door in the doors asking girls on dates I can be like Hello I am the person named Seth, and I have something that can improve your life, namely food but as well me, and if there is a better time that I could come back and talk with you more that would be great here is my card with my address and phone number on it as well as the best times to reach me, if I could just get your information so it would be easier to do scheduling that would be great, thank have a nice day, ok on to the next door, Hello I am......

Oh yeah sorry, sorry. so after I shared Mosiah 1:6, I gave him a Book of Mormon, and then we were talking to get his info and just to get to know him some and figure out the best time we can come back and tell him more, he told us that he was retired so anytime kinda works and I asked him what did he retire from and he said from working on cars and as well as racing and then he takes us into his garage and shows us his stock car it was awesome..... I touched it and it was the backup though his normal one was out in the trailer in the back and then he had another on the driveway for sale it was for $25,000, I said I had 5 bucks what would that get me, he said maybe half a nut, hahaha.

We then walked to another street and saw an old lady washing her windows, also we went to talk to her because there was a 1940's Cadillac and a 1950's Lincoln in her driveway, so we offered to help she said no and then we kept talking and then we said we felt bad for standing there while she kept working so we washed her windows for her and that was fun, and cool because Elder Kottcamp, one of the Zone Leaders I was on splits with, did window washing for the big stores like Target and whatnot before he came out so we did an awesome job because I was tall so I got the high stuff he couldn't.
Then we were out and about visiting less actives, none whom of which were home by the way, so we decided that night we would go out to Carl's Jr. to eat and the lady taking our order asked where the nearest building was and when it was at so I gave her a card with the address and the time and our phone number on it, she didn't come yesterday but we will stop by the Carl's Jr. again and hopefully catch her there and talk with her more.

We helped out at the ward's Halloween party. Elder Miller was a judge for the chili contest and so that was fun. We have a photo we will send you soon from that, we are still getting it. We just keep doing work because yeah, that's what we do here is work.
Love, Elder Hyde
