Hey fam:)
This week was another
super busy one as usual! This was probably one of the fastest weeks of my
mission, I seriously feel like last p-day was 2 days ago. We taught a lot
this week but honestly not too many noteworthy things happened, we also had
tons of appointments fall through. Anywho, on to the highlights:
Thursday we taught a whole bunch. After
district meeting we had an appointment with these less active twins right
around my age named Robbie and Mando. We have already been over there
once, but we kind of just hung out with them for a bit and talked a bunch
like we were homies and watched them play video games and then had a
lesson. We were going to teach about the importance and blessings of
reading scriptures, particularly the Book of Mormon, and we started talking about
him and asked a few questions and Mando was like, "yeah I've never
actually read the whole Book of Mormon.... I think I'm gonna try." I
love when the Spirit does all the work like that haha.

We taught Mxxxxx a couple times this week
all about the plan of salvation and the gospel of Jesus Christ and answered a
lot of his questions, but teaching him is so frustrating because the language barrier
is brutal. Yesterday we seriously spent 5 minutes trying to invite him to
be baptized in a way that he could actually understand what we were trying to
ask him, and then he declined. He just has problems believing that Jesus
is the Son of God, and lots of things related to that. He keeps coming to
church and is happy to meet with us and always has good, sincere questions so
we will keep meeting with him! Next time we will hopefully have someone
there to translate for him:)
We met with
Axxx again and only one of his friends (who was totally stoned) this
time. We were able to meet at the church this time though
which was great, and we brought our Elder's Quorum President with us.
SOOOO glad we did that because Andy had some questions related to timelines of
ancient Israelite temple worship and original sin and stuff dealing with the
last days and the gathering of Israel and other stuff about the 12 tribes that
stumped me this time, thank goodness for Brother Turner's Bible knowledge
though, he was definitely the savior of our bacon. Once again we
stressed the importance of the Book of Mormon, and I straight up asked them,
"What motivates you to meet with us? Do you actually want to know if
what we teach is God's truth?" And Andy said yes but he just needs to make
sure that what we say matches the Word... So I guess we will keep meeting. But after that lesson we were both really frustrated and down, and then the rest of the day was full of a lot of hardcore
rejection, so Saturday was a bit tough haha. Oh Andy also talked about Pokemon
go for a bit and told us how it basically stems from evil roots, interesting.

Sunday we were in church meetings for 9.5
consecutive hours and it was great and I learned tons and felt the spirit lots
but we were so exhausted and HUNGRY after because we had no time to eat lunch! Still no word from Zekes family :( Well that's it from this
week.
I have been pondering a lot
lately and wondering about a few different things about my relationship with
God and Jesus Christ and I have prayed a lot and asked questions, and I have
definitely felt those prayers and questions being answered. It's slow and
kind of a process, but I know that Heavenly Father will always answer our prayers.
Sometimes all we need for an answer is to feel His love. He knows us
better than we know ourselves and will bless us with the comfort and peace we
need to get us through whatever challenges we have in our lives! I know this is
totally true because my life is evidence of it:)
Love Elder B
Weekly Scripture: James 1:12 12 Blessed is
the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the
crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him. No pictures this week, sorry fam Love you all tons:) have a dope week eh Elder Weston Bonny🇨🇦
