Esta Semana...

...fue interesante!! Oh. Man. I actually have a story to tell this week. You better believe it.

 

So, since we don't have anyone that we're teaching at the moment, we've been going through our area book looking at people who have previously been contacted or taught by missionaries and trying to recontact them and see their level of interest.

 

Well. We went by this man's house. His name is G--------. We stopped by last week when we had our mini missionary with us and he was cleaning his floors. Apparently it was a big ordeal to let us in because they weren't dry or something. So, we set a return appointment with him for Sunday. He seemed a little odd when we talked to him through his kitchen window (he was cleaning the floors and couldn't get to the door) but he also seemed nice enough.  We were so looking forward to his appointment. Well, we got a member from the ward, Sister C-----, to come with us to this lesson and boy - we didn't know we were in for such a treat.  He started talking about his beliefs, which were weird. Like, multiple lives, reincarnation (kind of) colored spirits, God and Jesus are great spirits, Christ didn't actually die on the cross but that it was a symbol for a cross examination, that through the different cycles and lives that the world has been in it's been changed by man so that we can understand, and that he can only say 'amen' in his prayers even though he said like 1000 'our father god's.

 

We just sat there and listened and tried to speak but could barely get a word in. Then we did. we taught about the restoration and what we believe about the Godhead and about our purpose and lives here on earth.  We are literal sons and daughters of our heavenly Father and that he still speaks to us today through prophets because he loves us and he is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. 

 

Then he talked some more about some crazy things that I don't even remember.  This church is online and is taught by professors and you have to be invited but you can leave whenever etc. who knows?  Then we bore our testimonies, and then sister C----- talked about her conversion and we left. He was a very nice man, just blinded by the craftiness of men :( which is sad. But one day he'll look for the truth and he'll remember our visit and then he'll be so much happier! woot woot!

G-------- is the one who gave us FIJI water, and since my companion is from Fiji, we had to take pictures :)

 

That's my story.

 

 

 

I went full-out tracting for the first time today. We knocked a whole street. Nobody let us in, but nobody was really rude to us either. So it wasn't that bad. the work here is moving slowly but surely.

Also - we have an interesting bike story but it will have to wait until next week since I'm out of time!

 

I love you all dearly and know that you are all in my prayers. Thank you so much for all you do - find people for the missionaries in your areas to teach!

 

love you!
