Miracles inside me
This week was a week of fun and adventures, I got transfer
calls and I will be going to Van nuys, AKA the pit of the mission, it is often
called Van nasty by others who have gone there before, but everyone who has
come from it say it is the best place ever, so I guess that even though it is
nasty there is a lot of great things going on, I am super excited for the next
couple months.
The miracle of this week is that I felt true charity for
someone, there was this lady who passed us Anti Mormon Pamphlets and I told her
straight forward that they were only telling a half truth and not the full
story and so they were false, and I felt super contentious and angry at her for
some reason, and started telling her that we were right and all the reasons for
it, and she got out a book all on anti Mormon stuff ready to go into a full on
bash, and I opened the book of Mormon to tell what was what, but I ended up
turning to 3 Nephi 11:7-9 where Jesus Christ comes to the nephites, and started
reading, once I finished reading those verses, all of a sudden I looked up at
this woman who was railing on us and shoving anti at us, and I loved her with
all of my heart, and was amazed because a moment before I was filled with
contention, and the rest of the conversation I was so calm and loving and we
shared a few scriptures Moroni 7:12-15 where it talks about how all good things
come from God, and even reading that she was trying to find the flaws in it to
exploit, but she couldn't because she believed it as well bt she wouldn't admit
that we believed the same and I kept reading how satan is in conflict with God
and his purposes, she continued to bash on us throughout but I felt love and
patience throughout her trying to disprove us and eventually we read that we
shouldn't judge that which is good and of God to be that which is bad and of
the devil. and we left it at that.
it was the most possative experience for me even thought she
hardened her heart even more to our words it felt so good to talk to her,
because I could see her as a child of God.
OH! HAPPY BIRTHDAY BEN AND MIA!!!! I miss you guys so much!
I hope you are doing well and that you are getting what you want out of life,
remember to stay strong in the Gospel because it is true don't be afraid to
share it with others, and if you ever have doubts or questions remember that
GOd is the Ultimate source of truth, and he will help you to know what is true
in a way that you will understand.
I love you all! I hope all is going well with the House and
life.
Love
