Haha. It was quite the week. It's amazing how adversity excelerates the learning process. I learned some really cool and valuable lessons this week for sure.
We have a friend named Yemina who has incredible parallels to a young Joseph Smith, she has so many questions and really feels she is in a war of words and opinions. We sat down to teach her this week and along comes this man looking for a good Bible bash. Haha, it was too funny, he kept bringing his buddies over too and I just had to chuckle to myself why all these 50 year old men just could leave us two 19 year old girls alone. Sometimes the adversity that our investigators face is very real and visible to us.
Afterwards poor Yemina expressed her frustration and confusion as she told us how many people have come up to her like that this last week. We just focused on the Book of Mormon and we were able to promise some really cool and specific blessings.
Guys pray for her! She just needs to read but is having trouble getting started.
Aah! It hurts the soul a bit! Just read the Book of Mormon, the answer to all trials, temptation, adversity! The difference it makes is immeasurable.
Haha I just need to record myself ranting about this and re-watch it after the mission when I have 7.30 class and every excuse not to read for just 5 minutes.
I learned this week as real as opposition is so is the heavenly help.
I learned the impact of just listening.
I learned that if you are too busy today to chose to do the small and simple, you will always be too busy.
I learned to more shamelessly rock pit stains.
Life is good!
Have a great week!
