Dear all of you who I love like a ton!
This week has been a pretty normal week, as you can see from the pictures I
have below this post that we had some major good times this week on Monday and
on Tuesday.
This last Monday (the pimp slap picture) we went to the 2nd largest Mall in
the world. Destiny USA (which is just outside our area in our ZL's area) Which
we go to ere' monday with them. One of the Elders in our ward serving on the
South side always jokes around with a pimp slap motion as shown in the picture.
So we have no started to take pictures of one another doing it to things that we
would agree on that need a "Pimp slap/Back Hand" it is the funnest thing ever!
haha WE also got pizza and wings with South side last tuesday since the member
who was supposed to feed us both didn't show up and or tell us he wasn't coming.
So we went and bought our own food! It was really good! I love serving in the
state where Pizza and Wings are like all you eat up here! It is like I have died
and went to food paradise! ^.^
Other than that, this week was normal, we did have some small group from
another church who was out and about pretty much knocking doors, stop us and
wanted to "Talk". In the end, as usual, they wanted to try and tell us that what
we were sharing with people was leading them away from the word of God and that
we need to "remind ourselves that we are handling peoples souls and salvation,
now, you don't people to suffer in hell because you told them something that
lead them a stray would you?" (Btw that is pretty much word for word what he
said to us) In the end I boar my testimony as I did last year when we got bible
bashed and Elder Jackson and I were on our way. I was very pleased how Elder
Jackson handled the situation and how calm and confident he was in sharing with
them what we believe. Me on the other hand...I had a small slip up....I tried to
quote the first vision that Joseph Smith had and I totally butchered the entire
thing....Oh well, they didn't really care what we had to say anyways. It saddens
me when people act like that.
We are called to "Invite, share, help, and bless" We are not called and
sent out to tear people away from there beliefs, nor are we here or called to go
out and downgrade other beliefs. We are only here to offer more, and addition to
what you already know love, and cherish. That is what the Savior did when he was
on the earth, he did not come to tell everyone that they were completly wrong
and that he was right. Not at all, he came humbly, submissive, and meet. He came
to invite the people to return to our father in heaven the way God had given us
to return to him. He didn't force, he didn't push, he didn't drag. He didn't
even fight back to prove he was right. He just Invited, Shared, Helped, and
blessed the people in the time he was given here on earth. This I know, and bear
witness of in the Name of his sacred and holy name Jesus Christ, Amen.
