So this week was one of the more interesting ones. We had many lessons and by many I mean MANY! We had the privilege of meeting alot of new people and inspire them. We also had companionship exchanges with the elders in Kawama.i was with the kid Elder Thomas he's pretty new he is in his last week of training this week. But we were able to teach many.
One specific experience that was pretty cool is the enlightenment that I had while talking to a man on a bus. I can't remember the man's name but he was a member of the church that follows the man William Burnham. A man who says he photographed god lol. But the enlightenment I received was how valuable studying is. This man immediately, without provocation, started to attack the means of baptizing in the name of the father, the son, and holy spirit. Luckily that same week I had studied that, I was able to defend by pointing out that they were indeed the separate individuals. That sparked the argument cause their beliefs are in the Trinity. So I brought the facts to him by bringing up the fact that Stephen saw god and jesus. And that since Christ wasnt a ventriloquist at his baptism a separate individual had to have been speaking. Then lastly I asked him who was Christ praying to in Gethsemane if they were one. The man, now in a dazed stupor, had no rebuttal. Mind the fact that this was all on a public bus and alot of people were listening to me preach at this man. He was super embarrassed cause I'm just a young man and he is an experienced old man, that and people were laughing at him hahaha. The power of studying is beyond me. Hahahaha.
