Time
flies! Anyway, this week was good! A funny experience this week: We were
sitting next to our recent convert and he felt my companions legs which are
very strong(he played rugby) and made a comment on them. So I flexed my leg and
he felt it and said "you must of studied a lot, you seem really
smart." So... yeah that was rough.
This week I went on 2
exchanges, both of which were awesome. The first we met with a guy who lived in
America for like 10 years and his family still lives there. They teach him in
English. He used to be very christian but one day decided he is deceiving
himself. Long story short, we talked about testimony and I framed mine like a
science experiment. Seeing the different results of a religious life and making
conclusions from those results. So we committed him to do what the missionaries
say for 2 months and if he see's the results he said he would get baptized at
the end of those 2 months. It was a really cool teaching experience and
blessing. I felt the spirit and felt inspired.
Then the second was
with the AP. He is just an awesome guy. We weren't able to do all that much,
but we talked a lot. There are so many amazing people!
We also had our zone
conference this week, which I think went really well! It was all on repentance.
Plus president talked about some things that I think our mission needed to
hear.
Last interesting
experience was a dinner appointment we had last night with a family. They are
just super fun people. But they admitted that their faith isn't that strong. it
is still there just not as strong. I guess they feel that they aren't always
happy in the church, and that happiness is the point of life. So their first
goal in life is to be happy. They have been in the church for 25 years, and I
don't think the will leave. her dream is to send all 4 of her children on
missions. So it was an interesting combination of faith and logic and doubts.
Sorry I feel like my summary utterly fails to express the experience
adequately. It was fascinating!
We are meeting with a
fair amount of people and are super busy. no body is progressing a lot, but I
will keep you informed as things move forward with more of our investigators.
This week Elder Holland comes. I am so excited!
Anyway! I love you
all!
Hurrah for Israel!
