So this week was like I say hilarious! This is going to sound super self absorbed but I am so grateful Im able to have fun while I do missionary work! but seriously some people think you cant have fun and work at the same time. It's rather sad! anywho so first let me tell y'all about the lesson we had with Mike.
So we watched the prophet of the restoration with him and the spirit was super duper strong. He is so frustrating because he knows its true, he knows baptism is the next step and that he wants to do it but is putting it off. its lame. We even told him he would have to drive 2 hours next sunday for stake conference and he was like that cool does anyone else in the ward need a ride? shoot dang this guy is a dry mormon if I ever saw one! but he is awesome! I really have come to care about him so much and i know how much the gospel can help him if he makes that next step. So the spirit was super strong and noone wanted to leave but we had another appointment with someone we met a few weeks ago so we had to leave.
So for the next appointment we drove about 30 minutes to the middle of no where and we get there knock on the door and He opens up and is like come on in. So we walk in and there was a huge group of people and they all introduced themselves to us then said welcome to our bible study... and that very moment I realized we had been tricked into coming! So turns out his dad is a preacher for a biker church and this was their church meeting. I didn't know what to do at first I was super excited because ya know I have always wanted to go to a biker church, but then I was like oh no we aren't suppose to go to other churches! but we didn't want to be rude so we decided to stay for a few minutes... well that didn't work out too well... We ended up watching church on TV then they asked us what we had to say about it... so I didn't know what to do I pulled out my Book Of Mormon and said I know y'all don't know this is the word of God yet but do you mind if I sahre a scripture... So I did... but it gets better! We were fasting and they kept offering us food. oh and we were going to teach him the word of wisdom and they kept offering us tea and coffee... its was super awkward and I loved every minute of it!
So what did I learn from it? Our church is totally true! The spirit was not there at all infact I was scared to share a scripture because I knew it wasn't the spirit but me that was sharing it. I mean they were all caught up in the excitment they thought that was the spirit! Then I started thinkin! just wait till these guys feel the spirit for real and how much better it feels they will be beggin to come to our church. So I loved it a lot but I also know that there is no doubt in my mind that this is the Church of Jesus Christ and he is the head of it. Boy am i so gratefull for Jospeh Smith for having the faith to pray so we could have it on the earth today! mission life is awesome y'all I wouldn't trade it for anything! So if I ever complain that its hard you remind me of this week! cause its awesome!
Love y'all hope all is well in the real world!
