New Area: La Place



Como Estan mis amigos?

This last week has been pretty fun, I got to see a lot of old people that I used to teach, since during my first transfer in Metairie we covered La Place; but now I’m serving down here. It is super fun, we have had some crazy people that we have run into while tracting, some crazy conversations in the apartment, and had a run in with our vehicle coordinator. All in all its been quite the adventure so far.

A cool experience this week was one that we had while tracting. We were out tracting and ran into 4 Cubans that were outside talking, they kinda yelled us over and started asking us about why there is so many religions out there and a whole bunch of other interesting questions. We start trying to answer their questions but one of them keeps interrupting and asking more questions that he wasn’t expecting us to have an answer for.  He seemed to have had experiences asking other churches these same questions and it stumping them.  He kept asking and ranting for about 20 min until my new comp, elder B, jumped in and asked if we could talk now since he had talked for such a long time. We then proceeded to almost answer all the questions he had brought up and it seemed to shock him a bit, but before we could finish he jumped back in asking us more questions.  This happened multiple times until he realized that we actually had answers to his questions and so he said he would come to our church this next Sunday and see if it meets up to what he thinks it should be; ie: people being friendly and talking to him.  It was actually pretty cool to see that questions that had stumped other churches and their teachings, were all able to be very simply answered by two teenage Mormon boys.  It was a testimony to the fact that we have the fullness of the gospel in the latter days and that the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints truly is the true church of Christ in the world today. 

Love you all!
