"This isn't missionary work.
This is missionary fun." - Neil L. Andersen
This week I feel like this quote
really applied. Even though we can feel scared sometimes to talk about
religion or share our beliefs, it's fun haha. We don't have to be pushy
or arrogant, but when the people can understand that we're sharing because it's
something important to us it shows that we care about them. If they don't
want to learn more we'll still be their friends and we won't treat them any
differently because it's their choice, and everyone is entitled to use their
agency.
We've been sharing the restored
gospel with a lot of people, and we've been having a ton of fun :D The
members here have helped us out a ton this week by accompaning us to visit
investigators, members who are less active, and sometimes to help us contact
new people. It's been awesome! We keep working hard and laughing
hard too. Haha, there have been a few times when we've been laughing so
hard that we can't do anything for a few minutes, but then we work twice as
hard to regain those minutes :)
Some of the things that happened
this week:
-Connor had his 22nd birthday! Love
you bro!
-We were with a member one day and
we had to run away from a drunk guy who started to chase us! Haha, but it
was all good in the end and we haven't seen him since
-My umbrela is on it's death bed,
but until it dies completely I'll keep using it
-Hna Calderas may or may not have
cut her had with our small ax one morning. Oops. But it was only a
small cut and I've banned her from cutting wood, so it won't happen again
-I broke an investigators
fence. Double oops. I didn't know I had so much strength. The good
news is we helped her fix her fence and it's as good as new :)
If you haven't had the chance to
meet with missionaries before I'd like to invite each and every one of you to
get to know what it is that we believe as members of the Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter-day Saints. I know it's true, but you don't have to trust in my
words; find out for yourself.
"If any man will do his will,
he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God or whether I speak of
myself." - John 7:17
Love you all lots!
Love,
