Funny Experiences & Graffiti
Wow we always have funny experiences in my new sector. Last
night we were contacting and we were finishing up the day. We were going to go
take a bus back to the house and I told Elder Foster that we had to do one
contact more. So we knocked on a door and an old lady came out. She just kept
asking, “What do you want! What do you want!”
So I said hi and that we are missionaries here
to help you. She continued no no no you only believe in Joseph Smith and not in
Christ and God so I don’t need to talk to you. You don’t even understand the
bible.... and all that. We tried to explain to her what we REALLY believe. But
she didn’t want to hear.
It was so outrageous that it was really funny.
Elder Foster started laughing right there in the doorway and I did too. Good
old street contacts!
But we actually had a great week! We started
it out by giving a training meeting about how to be a good leader and the
importance of obedience and the seriousness of the mission. It was pretty good.
It helped me focus a little because I am not here to get to know Chile
The real miracle of the week was that we went
to visit a less active member named I, and he wasn’t home. But his wife came
outside, who supposedly hates missionaries. We started talking to her and she
actually told us she didn’t want anything to do with us. But we just kept
talking and literally God changed her heart in front of our faces. She came out
to the fence and shook our hand and said come back Friday. We went
back and I was still a little shocked and sat us down in the front room alone.
Then his wife, M, came out and said what are you doing out here come in!!! and
we sat down in the family room with her and I and their two sons who are not
members. We just talked about Christ and we saw some short videos about him and
we read Mosiah 3 in the Book of Mormon. It was so spiritual we are going back tomorrow and I
know they want to go back to church. They still have some challenges but they
want their sons to get baptized too. M asked for a blessing after too. It was
so cool we didn’t even do anything; it was all the spirit with the Book of
Mormon!!
I know this is real and Jesus Christ is our Savior!
I love you mom and dad
