Hudson did not take many notes the last 3 weeks, so he hopes his memory is good. He is eating a grapefruit while he records. He has turned a year older, a transfer older and had a lot of awesome lessons. Hudson has 4 people on date now. He went to the library to have a lesson with James, but the library was closed. James said they should go to the park. They followed him for 10 minutes before they finally get there. SUS It all works out and they had a good lesson, but in the middle they see the angel army truck (Jacob McFadden's) pulling off into the woods. Jacob gets out, shirtless and starts walking into the woods. After the lesson the Elders went to talk to Jacob. They couldn't find him, but as they walked around they found Drake's creek. It is a contaminated pond lot's of people fish in, where Jacob caught the eel and ate it. It's 4:00, they are prost out and they come upon Jacob fishing. He retells his story about the vision of seeing himself in the clouds. Jacob says, "I told my dad he was God and he called him crazy." He says people tell him the visions aren't real since he was smoking marijuana when he had them. Since marijuana is God's drug it should only solidify his authenticity even more. He then offered them a beer, which they declined and then a water bottle. Hudson was not about to take a beverage from this guy. The Elders had a dinner with Marilyn so they couldn't stay long. Poor Elder Thomason had quite the introduction to the area and crazy Jacob.
Portland hosts a strawberry festival. He compares it to Idaho Days on steroids. As a mission the goal is 30 contacts a day. The Portland Elders set a goal for 100 contacts during the strawberry festival. They got 750 contacts and set up lessons with 18 people. Which is more than a month of average contact.
