This week was a crazy one, haha. We met a
dude that really, really wants to be baptized, we ate wayyyy too many
pupusas, went on exchanges and we found out that park-contacting is now
allowed and I also had my first in person Zone Conference!
I
had some very interesting interactions with people this week. I met a
guy who knows the Book of Mormon is true because Joseph Smith was a
FreeMason and so was this guy..he also has a tat on his neck of the
illuminati symbol, hahaha I love LA!
Baked
tons of cookies so we could stop by some people who had talked to
missionaries in the past. One of the most memorable guys was Marty.
Marty is the classic old guy: very, very Jewish "but not a good jew at
that" according to himself, haha. We knocked on his door and he started
popping off about how the New Testament is apostasy and such but by the
end of it we were laughing and he took a pass-along card and gave it to
his son "who is very christian" haha he is such a homie.
Spiritual
experience of the week. My companion hadn't been endowed yet so as soon
as the LA temple opened he scheduled a session. Because I am his
companion I got to go through the session with him, another set of
missionaries, some senior missionaries and my mission President. It was
really, really cool. The temple presidency was really excited to have
missionaries going through.
Isaiah 64:8
"But now, O Lord, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand."
We
are all examples of Christ. As we turn to God and allow him to 'mold'
us, guide us, and help us throughout life we will develop christ-like
attributes allowing us to bless others. We were invited by President
Nelson to "Get rid of debris in our life that limits our ability to feel
the spirit". As we turn to God and allow him to mold us we will become
the people we want to become and we will become the examples that our
heavenly father wants us to be.
