My body, spirit and soul is currently
in recovery mode from this past week. Thank the high heavens for P-day and
glorious few hours we have to go play and be crazy humans (today we are playing
games, hiking Kennesaw Mountain and fishing with the elders)! If you just had
any inclination that our P-days are group dates, please rethink that! More or
less, these sweet elders are just straight awko tacs and I find great
entertainment at making them feel even more awkward. Hey, someone’s gotta do
it.
Where am I going here? Oh right! The
glorious havoc of this past week! So to give you a short run down...Monday was
a half p-day, Tuesday we got go to the temple (hallelujah!), Wednesday was zone
training and leadership meetings up the ying yang, and Thursday I was out of my
area on exchanges for 24 hours. Needless to say, my area was being neglected
and we had work to be done Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. So what did we do? Go
to work.
I find it absolutely hysterical when
people feel the need to teach us about our religion and say things like
"bless your heart, let me tell you how you can be saved from the hell
you'll be off to!" or "oh honey, no, you may not pray with me
but I sure will pray for you!" My heart breaks for these wonderful
Christians! Their pastors have polluted their minds with such false beliefs
that some actually believe we have horns! If you've ever known a Mormon, you
could never claim such a thing! So I just smile and bear my testimony and pray
that the Spirit or something about our encounter will leave them pondering our
message. We had a painful amount of "no’s" but our "yeses"
sure made up for all the rest!
So after a sufficient amount of no’s
we went to our scheduled appointment with a new investigator and her family.
They didn't answer. I was on the verge of discouragment but not totally yet! I
was just pooped from the week! Anyway, so we drive down the street, turn around
to leave and an older lady comes out of the house and waves us down. We pull
over, teach her about the Restoration, invited her to learn more and then a
member in the subdivision drives up and offers to take her to Walmart and
they bonded and BAM! Conversion is taking place!
If y'all didn’t get a chance to watch
the world wide missionary training broadcast that took place tonight, I encourage
all to watch it! It was incredible. Everything that was said came from the Lord
so we better put it into action pronto! This is the Lord's work and we just
have to do it His way or else we will fail! He knows what is ahead. I am fully
committed to His royal army! 70,274 missionaries currently now serving the
Lord throughout all nations, kindreds and toughs. Marvelous!
We have a glorious message to the
world! We boldly proclaim each day that the fullness of Jesus Christ's church
has been restored by a loving Heavenly Father who wants His children to enjoy a
fullness of His blessings! Can you tell how excited I am about this gospel?!
It's because it is true and it is the Lord's. I pray we can all be like Nephi
and "go and do the things which the Lord commands!"
Peace and Blessings, yo!
