First, one of our progressing investigators is a 14 year old kid. He read 12 chapters in the Book of Mormon very quickly. Went to church, prayed, and received a testimony. We were going crazy. Then he stopped reading. And stopped going to our church. Started going to the Evangelical church. And then started hearing a bunch of anti-doctrine. One of the funniest things I have ever heard was when he said that the Book of Mormon doesn't testify of Jesus Christ. Just His prophets. What? He said that if you opened up the Bible to a random scripture, is testifies DIRECTLY of Christ, while the Book of Mormon doesn't. Alright. So he showed us proof. And we got a battle between Exodos 8:1-2 verses Mosiah 3:19 hahaha you should read those two verses. Mosiah 3:19 is one of the best verses of scripture ever written, vs the Lord telling Pharoah that theres going to be a plague of frogs. I thought it was BLUNTLY obvious which scripture had more spiritual firepower, but you can imagine my surprise as this kid tried to talk his way out of it. He still denies that the Book of Mormon testifies of Christ, and claimed that the scripture in Exodus 8 is more important for us today than Mosiah 3:19. We won't be visiting him for much longer.
Then yesterday, we were contacting, and we ran into a prophetess! Oh my goodness! She just randomly started prophesying about us! She said that I'm going to be a surgeon and that my first surgery I perform will be a heart transplant, and then she prophesied about Elder Pettit. Apparently, he has fallen in love with a girl recently, and he should follow those feelings! But, he's also apparently not sure if he wants to go study in college or not, and that he should go. But when he goes, he´ll meet a new friend. This new friend is very popular. But he's bad news. He's not popular for the right reasons. He should stay away from him.
It was quite hard to hold in laughter when she said that he had fallen in love, and started asking him "what's her name?! Tell me! Whats her name?!´´ haha she kept pestering him about his imaginary girlfriend
Well the Family Roman is doing great. We just ate lunch with them, and they will get baptized on the 13th. Their family was traveling last week and this weekend, so they can't get baptized until then... whatever. But it's probably better that way. They said "we've delayed it too long, but if they can't come on the 13th, we'll send them a picture." Yes. There we go. So it looks like my second to last week, I should be seeing a family get baptized. A nice little going home present from the Lord.
I've been studying the Millenium lately. Another one of Fernando's anti-doctrine that he had heard was that the missionaries don't understand what will happen at the Millenium. That's partly true. So I started studying the socks off of it, and it's quite interesting!
