Highlights from Michael's letter:

"Tuesday night we had a devotional in which a general authority would be speaking at. The general authority that spoke was elder gary l. Coleman of the seventy. He talked about some amazing missionary experiences that he had throughout his life. It was cool cause they took place not even on his mission! One experience was he was dressed nicely in his usual suit and white shirt and tie outside of a mens store talking with a friend of his when the woman working inside the store asked the men if they could come inside and carry on there conversation in her store. So that they could be like models for her store in the store window cause they were dressed so nicely. Haha that was cool then after they had done talking he asked her to help him select a tie that would match his suit, so she helped him out and as he was checking out he asked if she had a business card she said yes and gave it to him. Around two or so days later he gave her a call and asked her if she would like a copy of the book of mormon. She accepted and eventually joined the church. This story was all because he was looking nice wearing his suit! Haha so when I thought of that I thought of myself and how I love wearing suits... Haha so maybe I will have an experience like this! Maybe not..."
