So yesterday was really tough! we tracted for an hour before
our lesson... we came to a door and a man quickly but nicely told us
that he wasn't interested and then as he closed the door, in the same
sickly sweet tone he said "and you can go to hell!"
Wow! such a good guy! then our appointment that we were
supposed to have fell through... the man cam to the door just yelling at us and
saying that he didn't like white people and that they has no right to treat him
the way they did... aparently earlier that morning a white couple accued him of
something and said that if they didn't pay them 20 dollars they would call the
cops... and because he is forigen he paid the money... but he was all sorts of
ticked off and hating on white people... can't say that i blame him.. that is pretty rude Then later that night, we knocked on another door and the man came
to the door with a gun... ha ha... that is the second time that's happened on
my mission.. fun stuff
Well this week was pretty hard! but on thing that i loved that
happened this week amidst the hard parts... we met with one of our
investigators... we were on exchange so it was me and a different sister, but
we had planned on teaching from alma 36 about the repentance and forgiveness of
alma... and when i asked if we could start with a prayer, he said he wanted to
say the prayer... this was the first time that he had prayed in front of us...
and as he offered the prayer he asked Father for forgiveness and he began to
cry... as he pleaded with his Father for help to change... tears began to fill
my eyes as i thought of how perfect the lesson that we had planned for him
was... i thanked him for the beautiful prayer and i expressed to him that i
knew that the lesson we were going to share was for him... and i testified to
him that he could change and his Father would help him!! the lesson was
great! the spirit was so strong... it was a wonderful lesson!!!
well, i hope yall are still reading along with
me!
i love yall hope you have a good week
