yeah so in short, the facebook page for the zone is taking off. we have found 2 new people that live in the area and are in the process of being referred and taught. one is a super elect lady that found the page off one of the advertisements for the page itself, she clicked it and saw a sister misisnary post , liked that, and then the same sister missionary reached out to her, developed a friendship, and is being referred to the sisters in her area. The other is a guy that just wants to know what we teach!
finding in the digital age bb
with the meetings that are happening as an sms there have been some really fun connections such as how the come follow me chapters are for alma 30 with Korihor. its fun that it just so happened that some of the pages received a lot of hate, and in the mix of it, one of the bible study groups i'm in on facebook had a post about mormons and everyone started hating on it. so fortunately i have some practice from the book of mormon ad in bedford, so i knew what to avoid and address. but here is the interesting thing. it's been a different controversial topic every time (meaning that in the course of my mission the topic of attack as been the same overall and then the next time it's a different one overall where the previous point hasn't been brought up (i hope that makes sense)) . first it was Joseph Smith or polygamy, then it was grace (and how it works), and then the thing that everyone was attacking was Heavley Mother and how we believe that She exists. so odd. the way i see it is that satan is running out of cards to play.
Honestly nothing can deter my faith in Jesus Christ and his Chosen Prophet Joseph Smith. because all this just fulfills prophecy, and goes to the need of a restoration. its so great. plus that being said, that means that Jesus Christ's Atonement is an actual force, that He knows me, and loves me, and wants me to come back to live with him, and everyone else. Yet with this conviction, I can't help but be a little saddened at the hardness and blindness of some people haha. no amount of testimony or logic for that matter can change people. and it's something I'm trying to figure out. I know it has a lot to do with pride, as the book of mormon can say, but it's also the lack of the spirit, and love. That is one of the conclusions I'm trying to settle, but that question is one that I'm still trying to find an answer to haha. plus i think i'm coming close to finding another partial answer because ive started to study the war chapters and i've gained so much so far!
but on to a different topic, Irish, our recent convert found us a person to teach! her name is Starlane (I think) and she is one of his neighbors! so we had a lesson with her yesterday that went so well! we are excited for her!
Kany and Ilgiz are also going great! we didt have a lesson with them, and they didn't come to church, so we'll have to move their date back a week so they can get the 3 church attendances. Gilles has been slowly working on his smoking but is doing well!
Michael and Etienne had a camp that they went to this week so well hopefully see them this week. Also we reached out to Ryan again! and he is up to meeting with us again! his life got more organized and calmer so he's up to learn more! and that was a happy day!
We were also able to have a handful of member lessons and have them help us on a facebook post. and it includes something called a silent interview! if you look it up on youtube (a silent interview on Christ) its so spiritual. and we are doin it with some members! so keep a lookout on that page haha.
In other news, today we are picking up another Elder, Elder McCrea from Alberta (fb stocking is real) and so we'll be in a temporary trio for like a day and a half.
The days are good, sometimes I get a little trunky, but we are too busy most of the time so it doesn't last haha.
love you all! Thank you for your prayers and be sure to keep saying them and reading your scriptures. Good things are coming even when we cant see.
