Crazy, Sad Week

Dear, Family
 Boy this has been a humbling and weak of growth. Our investigator Les had given us a call on Monday afternoon just after we finished shopping and Emailing and we missed the call but he left a voicemail which. Caused me and my companions heart to skip a beat. He told us that he was going to kill himself. We just sat in silence unsure of what we should do to help him. We drove back to the flat and we just felt impressed that we should go to his home and see him. As we were on our way he called again and we continued to speak to him until we got to his come. We then just listened to him for 4 hours just trying to ensure him that their is hope and meaning to his life. We just felt so unsure of what to say or do but we had to go was a nervous for us to leave. He was so Drunk it was just really sad to see He just wasn't in the right mind set to even think properly. But the following morning he called us back to apologize and told us he was going to get some help. We had Trade offs this week with the Zone Leaders Elder Smith and I Just before going to the flat thought we should go to the Bus stop and talk to some people. We then met James he has scratches all over his neck and face when we started talking to him he also expressed that he was going to kill himself. We spoke to him gave him our number and he got on the bus. It's been a bit hard and it brakes my heart to see people feel so lost that they feel their is only one way out. I know that our Heavenly Father Loves us. Even when things get tough or challenging he is their. But he won't take away our agency. Draw near unto him and he will draw near unto you. I know that to be true no matter what the future my look like know that god won't leave you alone. I Love you All! I know that God Loves us we are his Children! 
  Love,
