My favorite was teaching Yang and Yibing. We met Yang last week on campus and he told us that his girlfriend wanted to learn more about Christianity so he invited us over to their apartment. They made Chinese food for us! It was so sweet. Yang definitely has the mindset that because he was raised not to believe in God it's hard for him to believe suddenly. Yibing shut him up pretty quick and told him she wanted to learn more. She worked for a Christian when she was living in China and she taught her how to pray and she really liked it. Yibing prayed at the end of the lesson! And we get to see them this week again :)
We've been having a lot of rain lately....the Indiana kind. We were pcing with a member on Wednesday and we were talking to someone and then it just started raining and we got soaked. We ran inside looking for a blow dryer of something. It cleared up about five minutes later so we went out again. Well we started talking to someone and it started DUMPING!!! None of us wanted to give up but finally he said we could go inside. My clothes were completely wet! It was fun though. Then I was shivering in institute that night because my clothes were still wet. I'll definitely attach a picture haha.
Sunday is my favorite day of the week. I woke up yesterday just very excited for the day. Oh! Saturday night this guy named Abdullah texted us asking what time mass started. I've talked him him twice on campus but he never really answers our texts. I texted him back Sunday morning to see if he needed the address. He came to church! I was quite surpised. He had never attended a Christian service because he was raised Muslim. I wasn't sure what he was going to think because we haven't been able to actually teach him. He only stayed for sacrament but I think he liked it!
After sacrament one of the summer boys came up to me and asked if I was the sister from Washington. He's from Lake Chelan so we talked for a little bit. Then he asked me how long I had been out. When I told him about 16 months his response was "oh you're dead!". Sister Gil just stood there laughing at me! I was quite offended by his comment. The elders kindly remind me that I'm going home in like two weeks. LIARS!! Anyways, that's just what happens to old missionaries I guess.
We finally have some progressing investigators! We still struggle because on campus usually what happens is you teach someone once and then they just disappear. It's so sad! But this week really was great.
Friday night we got this call from a guy who just wanted to bash with us. He told us that the Book of Mormon doesn't agree with anything the church teaches and that it was written by a Baptist. He asked us why it doesn't mention anything about baptisms for the dead, three degrees of glory, etc. Sister Gil studied about it and received this revelation. The Book of Mormon isn't a guideline to Mormonism. It's sole purpose is to testify of Jesus Christ. Once an individual comes to know the Book of Mormon is true then they will recognize that there is a prophet on the earth today who receives that specific revelation of the gospel of Christ. Think on that! I'm grateful that I continue to learn new things every single day. I'm coming to love campus more and more each day.
