Hey everyone,
Man that is a bad sign
if I can’t come up with an email title already, well I guess I’ll have to work
on that. But anyways this week was pretty awesome with lots of blessings and
some interesting experiences too.
One interesting
experience was when we went tracting last Thursday and we ran in to a Muslim
man who invited us in and asked to hear our message. So we go into the restoration and it seems be
going well and when we finished with the 1st vision we paused and he was like,
"Are y’all done? I have a few questions for you." So we said that he
could of course ask his questions which we assumed were about the lesson... and
thus began a 2 hours talk about how Christianity is wrong and Islam is correct.
It was an interesting conversation and it taught me a lot about the Muslim
religion.
And one of the super
awesome blessings this week actually is a repercussion from another blessing
about 3 weeks ago. Elder Barron and I had a goal one day to talk to everyone we
ran into and hope that there was a reason they were in our path. So we bike
over to a good area with lots of people and as we are biking we pass a man
fixing a car in the street, and because of our goal we pulled over and started
talking to him. He was super nice and right when he saw us we was all like,
" Oh Los Mormones." Come to find out he was from Honduras and knew
missionaries. So we waited while he finished putting his battery back in the
car and all then some other Garifuna people came out because it was their car
being fixed. Once the first guy was done he said bye and jumped in his truck
and left before we could do anything, so that was sad but then the other Garifuna
guy asked us to come teach him about God. We went and talked to him, and just
to let you know he looked scary, he was buff with dreadlocks and is covered in
tattoos. But anyways we talked for a while and set another time to meet, but it
fell through. But then the other day we gave him a call and he immediately was
like I need y’all to teach me and bring me a bible cuz I need to change my
life. And so we went and talked to him yesterday and he is already on a path
towards the gospel. He has stopped drinking, messing around, and partying and
wants to be a better man for his kids. He almost cried when we gave him the
Bible and Book of Mormon and I am so excited to teach him more and see how he
progresses. It just goes to show that you shouldn't judge someone by how they
look because everyone is a child of God and anyone can be prepared to receive
guidance towards Him.
