These weeks just keep going by faster and faster. I almost
want time to slow down but at the same time, you know you're doing something
right when the time goes by so quickly!
This week has been an interesting one for sure. I got my
first bashing. Hahaha. It's true! Well I guess I didn't bash. I always tell
Sister Gardner that people can think that we're a cult, they can think we're
crazy but we will not allow them to think we're rude. So we just took it. He
called us Joseph Smith-ites... It's actually kind of funny now that I look back
at it. The poor guy.
Sister Gardner and I had two kick butt member present
lessons this last week! One was with D at the Kitchens' home where
we talked more about how we can have prophets on the earth today and they we
watched "The Restoration." During the movie, D actually leaned
over to me and said "I'm getting closer to the rod of correctness, aren't
I?" I don't really know what that's supposed to mean. If he means the
truth, then yes. Yes he is. I just sat there and smiled at him. He's so going
to get baptized one of these days! I'm pumped!
Then there was another lesson with this lady, L.
She is so cool! The reason she let us in the door the first time is basically
because she wanted to know if we were a cult. The last time we went over, we
gave L 3 Nephi 11 to read. I guess she had some questions about baptism so
she went on the lds.org website and started researching in
between our visits. I thought that was awesome! We came back with a ward
missionary, Sister Andersen and taught the Restoration. The lesson went
extremely well but right now, L still wants to study more about it.
I'm ok with that! We'll be going back next week and I'm pumped to teach her the
Plan of Salvation especially since she's had some deaths in the family
recently.
On Saturday, I took Abbie, a Laurel from our ward,
out on a "mini mission." Where she was with us from 8:30 am to 9:30
pm to experience what a mission was really like. I think it was definitely an
eye opening experience for her. I mean we just did a bunch of knocking really.
We did get into a house to teach a lesson though! We taught the Restoration to
an Evangelical Athiest... Yeah. I don't know what that is either. I asked the
guy what he believed and he never really answered me. But I guess his wife met
with missionaries before and she had a Book of Mormon. I asked her how her
experience with her was and she said it was very positive. That's good right? I
think she only met with them because she's a religion major... But we're going
to drop by and see them again one of these days.
Get this... ELDER BEDNAR IS SPEAKING TO OUR MISSION ON SATURDAY!
*Cue Victory Dance* Oh yeah! I'm so excited because he is my favorite
apostle! I'm so pumped! I'll be sure to let y'all know how that goes!
Well that's all for this week! Have a blessed week! I love
y'all!
