An Interesting Encounter

I´m not quite sure what happened this week but we sure had our fair share of running into some of the strangest people with the most ridiculous way of looking at things. It is usually a common everyday thing to make a contact with someone who thinks that we came strait from hell to pollute and destroy men. But this week we ran into people from the church called ¨The Ark of Jesus¨, Israelites, Atheists, and the list continues. But one of our surprise encounters came from a contact that we made who invited us back the next day to teach him more. When we arrived at his house we discovered that he had invited some ¨friends¨ to come and listen as well. Before we entered his house I just had a strange feeling, I turned to Elder Andrade and whispered to him ¨They are only here to contend, we will just answer their questions, bear testimony, and we are out¨. That is just what we did it was amazing.

I instantly opened the floor up for questions and once they started asking us things Elder Andrade and I both felt as if someone else took over and began speaking to them through us. We answered every one of their questions with scriptures and testimony and by the end of the lesson they honestly could not ask us anything else. They were honestly trembling trying to come up with something to contradict us. We both ended with out testimony of the Restoration and how today we are guided by a living prophet. When we got up to leave one of the friends that was invited to listen to us pulled us aside and asked us to come to his house to teach him more. It was one of those long shot miracles that you wish for, and it happened.
