Last Monday was such a great experience! At 6 that evening we went to the church of Christ for a study with the Preacher there. He was really nice and the church was cool. They had on the wall how much money had been made from the offering plates, it was about $1500 and they had their goal posted for the next week, $2000. Crazy crazy. Anyways, we sat down and he dove right in to the study without a prayer. He started reading scriptures out of the Bible and he was talking about how the Bible is perfect and its all we need. And inside my head I was just like, "Oh boy here we go, he knows about the Book of Mormon". So long story short, we didn't bash, it was a good conversation and a great time for us to testify and to feel the Holy Ghost bear witness of our message. But he explained how God has spoken to us and he speaks no more. They don't believe in revelation and the Holy Ghost ended with the Apostles. It literally was an example of what Christ told Joseph Smith in the first vision. "They have a form of Godliness, but they deny the power thereof". And a perfect example of 2 Nephi 29. "A Bible, a bible!. We have a Bible and we need no more Bible!" When we left there I had such a greater desire to teach more people. I wanted everyone to know that God still speaks to us today. I've always had that desire but it was intensified because of that experience.
Not much else to say about this week! We have a few awesome meetings this week! Zone conference and also a mission conference with Elder Christoferson! Its going to be awesome!!!
I love you all so much!!
