Hello Family and friends!
Monday night we had a Facebook chat video lesson, (like FaceTime), with Helen. We talked about the gospel of Jesus Christ and at the end we invited her to be baptized and she accepted, and she was in tears. a super awesome lesson.
Tuesday we met with a guy named Patrick, he is from Jamaica. He believes in the Bible, but not a particular denomination, however he follows the bible 100%. He is super smart with the bible so it was a bit intimidating, he was a referral from the YSA sisters and they met him maybe 3 days before we did. When we met with him I asked him how far he got into the Book of Mormon and he said through Alma and skimmed the rest of the book. And he was STUDYING, not just reading but cross referencing etc. he said the minute he finds something in the BOM that contradicts the bible he's gonna kick us out and were still here so.. we'll meet with him again this week.
Also Tuesday I crashed my bike, I’m prone to these kinds of things.... I’m 100% fine but I bent the gear changer thing on my bike and now only half the gears work..... nice.
Wednesday we had exchanges with the District leader, so I went out to his area, Rivannah, with him. His area is huge and it is the BOONIES so it was mostly driving down super awesome windy twisty backroads that just made me wish I was driving a focus RS really bad, but the country is super pretty, rolling hills forever and the leaves are starting to change color which is awesome.
Friday we met a guy named Linwood, he believes in the bible but says organized religion is meant to just control people and for money, He then proceeded to tell us what Mormons believe in. So we taught him the restoration and what we actually believe in and he said, "i dig it" and that he relates to Joseph Smith in that he too is searching for the truth. No return appointment but we'll stop by later this week.
Saturday nothing happened.
Met a whole bunch more crazies on the bus this week. A guy named Tiny, who was incredibly high, it was almost impressive how high he was and still able to somewhat function, kept asking us if we had girlfriends, in much more profane and vulgar ways than that, it was awesome haha. Oh I love public transportation.
Thanks for the support
