Hi Everyone!!
It sounds like everyone is enjoying their Memorial Day
weekend, I hope you are all BBQing and spending time with all your loved ones.
So this week was so busy, we got so much done and I LOVE the
trio life. Y'all would be shocked how much more we can do with 3 missionaries
working together. I love it.
However, this week, we had a lesson with an investigator who
(to put it nicely) is a closed door. He is one of those people who smiles
sweetly and says "aww you're so cute when you're wrong". I can
usually handle that kind of treatment from an old lady but coming from a
relatively young man, it was just rude. I found myself deflecting Book of
Mormon accusations and defending myself with testimony and simple truths.
Unfortunately, when people want to dump their Bible on you, there isn't much
more that you can do besides hold on to your Book of Mormon and gasp for
air!
I am so grateful that we have the scriptures to use and
learn from. The Bible is so great, it's stuffed with doctrine and contains a
beautiful record of our Savior. The Book of Mormon is amazing because it makes
the Bible CLEAR and I just feel so enlightened after reading it. The best part
is that they BOTH testify and of Christ. I can't think of anything
better.
On a happier, we have been teaching a man named Fernando. We
call him Fern. Or Fernie. Between ourselves of course. He is SO GREAT. He has
such a strong desire to learn and grow. He is literally a sponge and is soaking
up EVERYTHING. I love teaching him. I feel bad for him sometimes because he is
so smart and he feels like he needs to know as much as the members.
Pobrecito.
Well!! That's it for this week friends, hope y'all have a
good one!
Stay Safe & God Speed.
Love, Hermana Tobler
