Hey guys!
Haha yeah that title might seem a bit strange but I'll explain that in a bit
. First
off we finally were able to meet with our investigator Anime and that
was awesome, he had a lot of really interesting ideas and most of it
didn't really make sense and I'm not sure why people have these weird
questions, but they were really genuine and we answered them pretty
well, just a lot of questions about Heavenly Mother and whether or not
to call Jesus by that name or the original Hebrew name Yahweh. Stuff
I've never even thought about but it was cool to see other people's
perspectives I guess. I really hope we can keep helping him progress,
he's super solid and feels the spirit a lot with us.
Now
about the dispelling spirits...so this happened actually when me and
Elder Selu were handing out Light the World cards next to the church for
three hours in the freezing cold and getting ignored by everyone. This
older African man comes up and asks if we can give him a blessing. I say
of course, and he says that Satan has been sending evil spirits into
him and giving him demonic attacks and doesn't know what to do. Now I
can tell he has an evil spirit in him because right when he walked up a
terrible presence felt like it came with him. So we take him inside and
go into a room, and I start giving him a blessing, and I basically tell
the spirit in the name of Jesus Christ to leave his body, and all of a
sudden you can feel the Holy Ghost in the room. After the blessing he
goes "after that I no longer have bad urges and demons because I am
filled with the holy spirit" so yeah I guess that can go down as a
pretty dope experience!
Other than that we were able to help a member move all day on Saturday
which was sweet cuz that meant we could spend a ton of time in the
snow, like for real it feels like I'm in Idaho or something cuz that's
like the only time I see snow! It's so cool, plus I got these really
sweet snow boots that are actually super ugly but freaking sweet. Um
other than that we convinced a bunch of people that me and my companion
were from Australia (we started street contacting in different accents
to keep things from getting too boring) so that was dope. So yeah there
we go, this week has been focused a lot on lighting the world during
Christmas time. I know that doing as Christ did in his earthly ministry
we can feel the love of Christ for others and be blessed for doing
that. Love and miss y'all!
