So once upon a time me and Taufaga Shimai got invited to a bible study by a bunch of J-dubs (Jehovah`s Witnesses).
We knocked on the door of a Philipino couple right when they were about to head off to a Bible study with some J-dubs. They were super nice! They said there were about to go out but the couple said that we can come back next week. Then the J-dubs invited us to their bible study. The whole week me and Taufaga Shimai didn`t know what we should do. Should we go? Will it end up badly?
After a week of praying about it we decided to go, if they get confrontational we can just leave them with a testimony. We thought that in the least we can leave the people there with a better image of what Mormons are.
We go there and the old Philipino couple let us in. We hit off our relationship from the start. Talking and laughing. We talked about their religions. She is catholic and he is born again Christian. They told us that they are studying with the Jehovah`s Witnesses but they don`t like what they believe. They think they changed the bible. We talked about what we believe and so many of our beliefs matched there`s and they were so pleased and happy! We taught them half of the Restoration and they asked for our number and told us to come back every Saturday night to teach them about the gospel! They are the sweetest old couple and they told us, `We have our religion, but we’re open to anything. We love learning. We`re searching. `Well look no further friend you have found the fullness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, restored to the earth by a modern day prophet Joseph Smith!!! It was such a miracle.
I`m so blessed that I got to witness that miracle.!
P.S Yup! its snowing here too!
