What's up guys?
This week was decent. We met and started teaching a guy named {}. We've been hearing about him for a long time but this past week was the first time we've actually met him. This guy was a roadie back in the day for a lot of bands. In addition he had been a guitar tech for Mötley Crüe and was friends with Nikki Sixx (their bass guitarist) and had been a guitar tech for Kiss and hopped onstage and played a set one night when Paul Stanley got sick. This guy knows a lot of people and he's been around and seen a lot and done a lot. Unfortunately, he has a lot of physical and mental health issues (brought on in part by seizures and a stroke, which were probably withdrawal symptoms from all the dope he was doing back in the day, and partly from sustaining several massive concussions from high school football). He can't play the guitar anymore, and so he went from touring with rock stars to living in a trailer park in Layton, Utah with nothing to do and no one to visit him much. He's pretty bitter about that. He's a cool guy, but reactivating him will most likely be a long process.
We met another guy this week whose name is {} and he's a lot closer to being reactivated. He's got an interesting story as well, in a different way. The story that he told was this. He used to live in {} with his wife and kids and the whole family was active in the church. He got cancer and then his wife divorced him. He moved out here shortly after. His cancer was in remission, but there's a high chance it's coming back. He wants to come back to church but he has some struggles. { In summary}, there are three sides to every story. Your side, the other person's side, and God's side, aka what really happened. What it boils down to is he's gotta forgive her and move on. The good thing, once again, though, is that he has a desire to come back to church and be active again, so that's good.
That was my week. Any questions about anything? Love you guys. So does God. The church is true.
