as you read...
So it started with a lesson with an old lady named Carol she is old
and says she feels lonely so we dropped by to visit her with a team up
and we were going to teach her the Plan of Salvation. Well it was
going pretty good except she was an expert at the PA ramble. So we had
to interrupt her every single time she started talking so we could get
back on track. Well we invited her to church and she said that she
wants to come but she cannot physically walk through any church doors
since her husband passed. And so we didn't give up we tried to find a
way she would be comfortable in coming to church but we were
unsuccessful so we instead committedher to pray and she said "no I
will not attend church!" I was so confused... we then invited her to
read the Book of Mormon and she replied "No I will not attend church!"
At this point I had no idea what to say. Because everything I said
this lady responded with "No I will not attend church!" She was like a
broken record! Finally I looked her straight in the eyes and said I am
not inviting you to church! I probably could have said nicer then I
did but she looked at me and said "oh good." And that was the end of
that lesson... kinda frustrating... hahaha
So next lesson me and Elder Holley were walking down the road and
these guys were painting the inside of a house and they called us over
to talk to us. One guys would not be quiet and he kept talking about
how he was feeling like God hated him. Finally he let us talk after an
hour and we shared the Book of Mormon with him and he said "thank you.
You guys might have just saved me from killing someone. Because I was
on the edge of it." Yay I was a little scared after that but hey I
guess we saved a life!
So another great lesson of the week was with a younger guy. We took
Brother Dushku with us on a team up and thank goodness we did. So we
sit down with him we noticed something is a little off about him. And
I asked him if he has ever wondered why challenges have happened to
him and he tells us he is autistic. And it made sense about some of
the answers he gave us to questions. So I didn't know how to go about
this but then out now where during the Plan of Salvation lesson he
asks us a really uncomfortable question about morality. I was caught
completely off guard. And Elder Holley's face turned bright red.
Hahaha Brother Dushku then proceeded to teach very simple the law of
Chasity and so what was only our second lesson with this kid turned
out to be a very interesting lesson. He then asked about pornography
and so I guess it was a great lesson we taught him about repentance
and how to pray and he said he would work on fighting temptation.
So yay we had so wonderful lessons this week that consisted of no
church, killing someone, and Chastity...
Well I hope your week was more normal then mine. Hahaha but thank you
for all your love and support have a great week!
