I've had some crazy lessons this week and share the story of miracles and a Raven in the email, however I just want to share one story here on the blog. One of the people my companion and I teach invited us to a Ingles Ni Christo meeting. We went and the entire meeting was designed to bash our church, and one of the adults was taking pictures of us sitting in their chapel. With all of the personal study I have had these past couple weeks I have grown a much more in depth understanding of the New Testament all the way till the end in Revelations. So I had all this knowledge locked and loaded....But here's what I know. Some people are not ready to receive the gospel message. After the meeting was over, I could feel an anger burning inside of me to defend my beliefs and counter every scripture they used. The pastor was talking to us on the side and explaining to us why our church isn't correct like theirs and my companion could see the fire in my eyes. Then the spirit whispered to me, "You can't win". Some hearts are set. No matter what I said it would have lacked charity and had no power to influence him to do anything different. The next day that anger was gone and replaced by sadness. I want them to know the full truth, not just parts of it but the Spirit knows the time and the place. Not Elder George. I love this work and there are many people just waiting to hear our message. Hope everyone has a great week!
Love Elder George
