Conference was great! I feel like we were mostly called to repentance, more then normal, I had a lot of talks that I really liked, there was also a lot about love! Love, obedience, and being better was what I took from it all.
On Sunday it rained, and rained, AND RAINED!! More then I have ever seen in one day ever! SO MUCH RAIN!!!
I was scared that the bad weather would interfere with conference, but everything came in nice and clear, blessing!
This week, this guy at wal-mart stopped us, and said "Its the missionaries!" I joyfully replied "YES SIR!" He then got for reals and said "No your not. What church are you from" I said, "Um, yes we are! We are personal representatives of Jesus Christ! So we teach about His church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints!" At this point, I already know that his soul purpose is to tear us down, so I was probably being a little condescending... (I'm not as awesome as those Sisters Elder Holland spoke of, but I will be doing better from now on.) He said "Nope! Anyone that changes the bible is not of Christ!" "OH!" I said , "I see the problem, you have us mistaken for someone else, we have done nothing in any way to change the bible." he want on to say YES YOU DID! And was about to say something but I cut him off and said "Wait, do you read the Kind James version?" He said he did, "Yeah! So do we, I read it every day! Same exact bible as you read!" He then told me that I in fact DO NOT read the bible every day! I told him that was news to me. He then proved his point with John 1:1... NO IDEA HOW THAT PROVED HIS POINT! But it SURE did! He then told us he was a Mormon for 40 years and then found the truth.. It took everything I had to just smile, and not call him out for the lie that that was, and say to him "No you weren't, You have never been a member of the church, cause if you were, you would know that everything you are saying is FALSE!" I however, bit REAL HARD on my tongue! He then told us to do the research and that we cant change the bible as he walked away, I should have let him go.. But I made one last "NEVER CHANGED A THING!!" As he walked away, I'm probably a bad example to my very new and young companion.. HA!
Another guy as we were walking down a street in the sketchiest part of our area, (our whole area is sketchy..) yelled to us "YOU CANT GO DOWN THAT WAY!!" I asked why not? He said, "They kill people over there!" OH! Well then! I told him we had people to see, so we were going anyways, haha, the look on his face!
