Half a week
Yeah so since my last p-day was on Wednesday not as much has happened since then. But we had a couple awesome experiences. On Thursday we found a new investigator. She's pretty golden. She's looking for a church to get baptized into so we set her on baptismal date on our first lesson. Hopefully that pans out well.
Later that day we visited a family where the two teenage sons are keen to learn and investigate the church and the mom likes missionaries but doesn't want her sons to learn about the church so they don't get "confused" between the doctrines of our church and their church. So we went over and I asked if we could share a lesson on the Plan of Salvation and the mom gave this spiel about how she didn't want her sons to be confused, and so while she appreciated if we shared from the Bible, she didn't want the Book of Mormon to be used. I was pretty miffed at that and maybe I could've been more bold in testifying about the Book of Mormon but instead in my mind I said "Fine, we'll teach true doctrine about the Plan of Salvation....FROM THE BIBLE"
So we shared scriptures about the Premortal life, spirit world, three kingdoms in heaven, etc etc all from the Bible and one of the sons pleasantly had his mind blown by the three kingdoms in heaven. Paul mentions two in first Corinthians but we squeezed in a little about the telestial kingdom. The mom didn't even really notice because she went off to make dinner. So that was fun.
Saturday we went on splits with a couple of youth in the ward, Patrick and Chom. They're really awesome. They're both converts and Chom just got baptized a few months ago. We went to go teach one of their Buddhist friends from school and it was a really good lesson. We invited him to be baptized and Patrick and Chom were pretty bold in telling him he needs to be baptized because our church is the only true church. We also taught Chom's younger sister and their niece because we have his sister on baptismal date and she's pretty keen.
So yeah I took some cool pictures but I forgot my camera back at the flat. Next week I'll get them.
