Well this week was pretty good!
We had our lesson with Sunshine this week. It went very
well. She also brought 3 of her friends... they were really involved in the
lesson, making comments and answering questions and what not. they were super
awesome! we invited them all to be baptized... but the three friends said that
they had already been baptized... but Sunshine accepted! so this week
we will give her a date!
but we will also go into more detail on the importance
of the authority and hopefully help the girls understand it!
We also taught another man, that we have tried to get in
with since last transfer! We finally got in and taught him the first
lesson... but im not so sure if his intent is the most sincere... but we will
see with his next lesson if he has kept his commitment to read the Book of
Mormon.
We also taught another man that we have been trying to
teach since sister cefalo got here, he seems great! he is a true seeker
and he wants a stronger relationship with his heavenly father and he wants to
know the truth! I am really excited to teach him!
Then on Saturday we taught a woman who is a Baptist
minister... yikes! we have talked to her onetime before and she seemed really
sincere when she said she would read the Book of Mormon and then she said that
she wanted to meet with us and talk about it... so on Saturday we brought
the bishop with us to answer her questions... it was pretty much
her and her friends picking apart our articles of faith and the book of
Mormon and in the sickly sweet southern hospitality way they told us that we
were wrong! and that modern revelation went against the bible... and yatta
yatta yatta! she was so hung up on the tiniest details and made things way more
complicated than needed... all the issues that they brought
up could be clearly explained by scriptures in the bible... but we
were NOT there to bash... they were closed minded... I tried to explain
that the book of Mormon went hand in hand with the bible and she
quickly told me it wasn't true... she said the book of Mormon does not
go hand in hand with the bible... but she hadn't even read it!
Well i'm glad that Bishop was with us... he helped her to at
least understand that we did believe a lot of the same things... that was
interesting.
people believe some interesting things... I am so glad that
we have moder day revelation and a prophet and that our doctrines are simple
and easy to understand... I love this gospel...
Transfers are this week... and ill be staying in Lilburn
since im training... anyway, have a good week Y'all
