This week, like most weeks, was a good week. Unfortunately we lost contact with some investigators a couple days ago which is not good, but we are planning on stopping by their house today to see whats going on:) We have spent the past week doing a lot of finding. We had a couple of really really weird contacts ranging from happy people saying really mean things in a happy voice (confusing) to angry people and people who were more interested in the two guys at their door. It was great and we met a few great potentials that we are hopefully teaching this week:)
Yesterday we had a record low attendance at church yesterday, 47. It was a beautiful day of 1 degree (Celsius) and there was no excuse why people couldn't come to church. It was really great because the members finally saw that things are not going so great here and everyone needed to step it up. Testimonies were born, plans were made and we are happy that the ward wants to get involved! It'll be great to see the growth that will come in these next few months, both with members and missionary work.
Our two investigators have been running into a lot of anti- mormons. This is what Lehi talks about in his vision of the tree of life, people leaving the tree or the rod of iron because of the remarks of people in the great and spacious building. It has been difficult resolving their concerns because the world looks on religion, or spiritual things, and tries to destroy them. Satan, from the beginning has taken great things, things from God or symbolic of His Son, and changed meanings to find a weakness and slowly drag each victim into unbelief and eternal misery. My advise to all of you is hold to the iron rod, the scriptures and the words of the prophets.
2 Timothy 3:14-15
"But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;"
"And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus."
The next two versus are powerful as well. Continue to read, and if you don't you better start or your foundation will not be strong enough for when the time comes that you must prove your faith.
p.s. church came out with a video for easter, go watch it, its grrrreat.
