What was a crazy experience?
- One time I was approached by a man on the street who started yelling at us and demanding that we give him money. I felt calm and inspired by the spirit and I offered him crackers instead of money. He got angry and said he just wanted money and so I told him I wasn’t offering money, but was offering crackers. He took the crackers, pushed me to the ground, and ran away. (Lauren)
- People would tell us not to go home a certain way because it was dangerous, so we went the long way, and then another person stopped us and told us to go another way because that way was dangerous. We were wondering how they expected us to get home. We were always protected by angels and nothing happened to us. (Olivia)

- Girls, bring chacos, and shorter skirts, and nicer t shirts, it’s too hot to wear anything else. (Olivia)
