Hey everyone! Is it crazy to anyone else that it's practically August? I can't believe it! I'm so ready for summer to be over, though. Mosquitoes die in the winter! It's a good thing I'm not going to the family reunion near Forks because I think I could give Bella a run for her money -- apparently I taste really, really good!
Our investigator M. gave Sister T. and me each a picture of Christ, which he drew himself. We had given him the names of some LDS artists some time ago; the sketch in the photo is from one of Simon Dewey's portraits. M.'s got talent! I was very touched that he drew a picture for us. He has such a good heart. He was also concerned that drawing might be breaking the Sabbath. We told him that if it was a picture of Christ, it was okay.
We met a hilarious couple this week. They are stanch Catholic but they love Romney! They loved us, too, and tried to get us to come to their church. I told them we would go to theirs if they would come to ours! They didn't like the sound of that. The husband says that he doesn't believe in anything past the New Testament, which made me really sad. I'm so grateful for living prophets. The husband wouldn't let us teach much, but we got a few things in. He wouldn't let us talk about the Book of Mormon but his wife asked the perfect question. Turns out she loves Glenn Beck, and asked why he would leave the Catholic Church for the Mormon Church. My answer? "I'm sure that it was because he read the Book of Mormon, prayed to ask God if it's true, and received an answer that it is." The husband wasn't very happy with my answer, but the wife actually seemed to think about it.
Personal study insight: Priesthood holders get to actually represent the Savior as they pass the sacrament. How cool is that? They literally represent the Savior passing the Last Supper to you!
