This last week was full of fun experiences and miracles! Yesterday (And don't tell my Mission President) before we attended real church we attended The New Life Church. It felt like more of a tech conference and concert then a spiritual experience. They practiced tithing but not ten percent as it dictates in the Bible. They just passed around a bucket? What if someone steals the cash? As soon as we got in they tried selling camp outs and stuff to us. It felt like they worshiped the cross as well, and only saw one picture of Jesus the whole time I was there. They didn't teach any false doctrine but that is because the only doctrine they taught was "Jesus loves you" which is absolutely true. They didn't teach literally anything else though. It was a nice place and the people were nice, but our church is clearly true!
Our investigators are doing awesome! Unfortunately we were not able to meet with Raul again. His wife is having medical issues that need to be resolved. We dropped off a huge version of the triple combination for him however!
Michelle is doing spectacular. We taught her the plan of salvation and she accepted and loved it. However because of her Jewish background she still needs a testimony of Jesus. As we work with and meet with her I am confident her testimony of Jesus will grow!
I am loving this ward and all the wonderful things it brings. So many awesome and wonderful people are here. They have done so so much for the missionaries. They will receive so many blessings for everything they do.
President Nelson is coming September 15th to the mariners baseball stadium. Apparently it is not gonna be televised so it is a Washington exclusive! Over 30 stakes will be there. The missionaries get a section way up in the nosebleed seats. I am just grateful to be there! However, with the coming of the prophet, the adversary does his best to increase trial and delusion. I definitely see it. But when he comes this whole city will be blessed!
I love you all so much! Read your scriptures!
