For 9/11 our stake had a crap ton of service opportunities. We weeded an entire cemetery. It was hecka dry and all of us had some really bad allergic reactions and allergies because of it. But it felt good to get out and help.
Our friend James felt the Spirit!!! This is huge for him!! And of course it all happened while I was on exchanges. But he called us back one time and told us that he really appreciated us. It was so nice.
Our other friend, Christina, called us and wanted to know more about the end of the world. I feel like most of the churches down here would preach out of revelations and make it sound scary. It opened the way for us to tell her about the plan of salvation. Then she asked the golden question: what is the Book of Mormon? I kid you not, angels sang. Long story short , we are meeting with her again and will be talking about it.
We had an amazing lesson with our friend, Jesse. The spirit was so strong. We testified of Christ and how prayer is powerful. If he drops us, imma cry.
Sometimes...missions are hard. And the best thing to do is laugh. Here is a snippet from one of our discussions with zero context: "At least androids don't segregate"
An elder made an amazing point this week. I have read the new testament but I'm definitely not a scholar on it. If people we can talk to have only read the Bible and we can maintain a gospel discussion....that just shows that the Book of Mormon and Bible are similar. That was a powerful statement made by Elder George. Remember that God brought the Book of Mormon to us for a reason so make sure you are using it.
