We Are Engaged In A Battle

So this past week I realized first hand of just what kind of a battle we as missionaries and members of the church are truly fighting. Monday afternoon there was a radio broadcast that was heard in all of Peru for about and hour and a half. It talked about a polygamist group in Texas and all of the terrible things that the their leaders are doing to the young girls that become trapped in their cult. And it seemed to happen all the time; they referred to the group as “The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints” and the “Mormons”. We definitely felt its affect on our teaching and our investigators as well as the members. I think we got a record for doors slammed in our faces because of what they heard. Members were pulling us aside and asking us tons of questions about what was going on and what our stand was and stuff like that. Satan in tricky and knows how to stick in a jab but its great to know that we are going to overcome, and the truth will prevail. We just have to keep working hard and doing what we have been called to do.
