Hola a todos! This week was a good week. We visited as many members as we could. One of the highlights of this week was of a lady named Bobbi. She was very antagonistic the first time we met her. During that encounter, she was prepared with a list of very negative questions that I think she found off of an anti-Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints website. (We used to call that an anti-Mormon website but we try not to use that short name anymore 😂) DON’T READ ANTI AS IT IS NOT WORTH IT! IT WILL ATTACK YOUR TESTIMONY AND IT WILL MAKE YOU THINK OF THE CHURCH DIFFERENTLY! It is super difficult when someone comes up to you and literally the questions they bring up are so simple to answer that any sincere person with an honest heart can understand the truth and distinguish it from the mistruths and misdirection in a matter of minutes.

As we patiently answered her questions, she became more friendly and sincerely started to desire to learn more. This possibly negative experience turned into an awesome one, and we continue with the great privilege of teaching her the Gospel. In a second encounter with her later in the week, we taught a lesson to Justin another new friend and investigator and Bobbi decided to help us out. From antagonist to protagonist. What a change of heart and mind!

We missionaries need your prayers! Payson is struggling with the members who don’t have a desire at the moment to talk to their friends and family about the Gospel. Every time I see something like this, I remember how blessed I am for parents who showed me what it truly meant to be a disciple of Jesus Christ (aka Missionary). I now have only 3 transfers left of my mission and I am shocked that all this time has passed by. It truly has felt like a dream.
