Anyways this week has been really
good! We didn't get to tract as much because saturday we had a musical
fireside. Elder Choi one of my previous companions is pretty much a
musical prodigy and can listen to any song and just play it after
hearing it and can make any song or remix anything it's SO cool! But,
he put together (He's the new DL) this musical fireside with the
musical talents in our district and the youth of our branch. We made
some really nice invitations for it and pretty much invited everysingle
person we have ever taught because it's a really good way to bring
people into the church and to feel the spirit in a non threatening
environment because not everyone is then trying to baptize them haha.
But all the viet. Elders came with their investigators and the white
Elders did to, along with our mission president and most of our branch
and Elder Kims parents, so it turned out great! We even had some
extremely inactive people participate. It was awesome because two of our
english class students came and they really enjoyed it and
fellowshiped with some of the members and they really like our church.
So a few weeks ago we went tracting and met this korean preacher
of his own church and he tried to bible bash us and when we left nobody
was in a good mood except for me because I was stoked at the fact
someone tried to bible bash us because I have never had that happen
before. He said he wanted to invite us over again sometime to share our
beliefs and my comps didnt want to go because they didn't want to bible
bash but....since he offered us food as well, I insisted that we should
go haha. So we ended up going met his family and some ex mormons that he
brought over anyways long story short he's taken us to some really nice
restaurants and he's now one of our really good friends. I know we will
probably never bring him to our church because he has set up his own
church that is actually growing pretty fast but a really cool thing
about him is that he likes learning more about us from us because he's
just an sincere truth seeker. He doesn't want to take other people's
word for what our church is about. So he actually backs our church up
when he hears people telling lies about mormons haha...Even at his own
church he clarifies what we believe so people don't have the wrong
misconception of who we are. Yesterday we went to his church and it was
definately different.......its a "charismatic church" everyone just jams
out to gospel music and kinda starts freaking out haha. But those were
easily some of the nicest people I have ever met and me and Elder Ham
just split up in the room and talked to as many people as we could and
tried just helping as much as possible during the dinner to give a good
view on mormons and we ended up teaching 2 lessons and we have a new
investigator from it haha.
Anyways thats just a little bit of what happened this week!
Love you mom
Love Elder Meza
