This week has been full of blessings! We didn't go a day without a lesson and most days had two or more! We came out with 16 this week. The work is really progressing in our area! We're very excited and know that we're being blessed every day! We put two more investigators on date tonight and it also finally snowed!!!
For one of our lessons we found a new investigator who had an extensive knowledge of the Bible. He quoted many of the scriptures we typically use in support of the Restoration before we even mentioned them. But as soon as we brought up that Peter, James and John descended from heaven to restore the priesthood he got very upset. He shouted "False doctrine!" And then said they couldn't have descended because they have to wait for Christ to be resurrected. We kindly reminded him that Christ was resurrected on the third day. He realized he was wrong but was still very upset and just kept shouting "False doctrine!" And other stuff in Spanish I couldn't understand. It got to the point where he literally grabbed his keys, left his house and drove away just leaving us sitting there in his house. It was strange. haha, But right before he left he said we could come back! So I guess we'll see!
We closed out a very eventful week with a trip to D.C! Rumor is it's about to be banned tomorrow so we had to get in one last hurrah! We saw the Smithsonian castle as well as the Natural History Museum (That was my favorite I could spend weeks in there). We also saw some of the American History Museum. We got to see a bunch of deep sea specimens as well as the original sun stone that sat on the Nauvoo temple. We went though the Holocaust Museum last. It was done very very well. There's just a sense of reverence and prayer while walking through it.
So, here's some pictures of my last DC trip!!
I love all of you!! Don't forget to pray.
