thanks dad,
no nothing happened i just ran out of the hour to email. rules are rules and missionary work comes first. thats nice to hear logans active in basketball, i hope his marriage with jenaye is working out very well and there getting by. i was starting to like her and then i left for the mission. im excited to hear when theyll have a kid.
ya satan came at us really hard this week. hes always at work destroying the divine nature of sons and daughters of God. he almost got one of our recent converts we only baptized just two weeks ago. she had said she didnt want to attend anymore and her little girlfriends were all there to back her up telling us that Gods in her heart and she doesnt need to attend church and we cant force her to anymore. i almost went ape and started beating up old ladies. it was crazy to see and old lady speak to us in such a evil manner. she had pure disgust for us, and all we could say is that were just representatives of Christ and want to help people. she had invited them to attend church and they all started telling her that the mormons have false idols because we have pictures of Christ in our church... then they told her that we dont believe in God and they even told her that our tithing was wrong because we write our last name first and then our first. they said it was some sort of scheme to recieve her money. me and elder avilla just were astonished. so later that day we carefully picked a time when we could talk to her without her ``friends´´ around. so we talked to her and explained to her everything.we really built off of if these woman have Jesus Christ and are of the true church of Him why do they cast stones at other churches? did Jesus ever once cast a stone at anyone even when they were sinners or even murderers? anyways long story short she cried and just said shes really confused right now and begged for our forgiveness and apologized and said shed come back. we just simply said you need to do this for God dont apologize to us, if you feel this is the true church then stay, but only in God you can trust. any ways satans atwork, but we´ll work just as hard and with the spirit. it makes all the difference. love you dad. hows reading the book of mormon as a family going and family nights?
