Well after I ended
writing last week I left the internet cafe to go and buy some Cremolada with my
companion, shout out to Shoobies shaved ice, oh how I miss that right about
now, but my Peruvian Cremolada will do.
We then went to the post
office to deliver some handwritten letters to the family. As we waited for the mailman to return from
his break, in walked in a nice little old lady, she was maybe 70 years old and
was dressed in old style traditional Peruvian clothes.
Allow me to translate
our conversation into English..
Me: Hello how are you?
Her: Are you brothers?
Me: um, what?
Her: God hates your
church. He loves my church, he only
loves the people in my church.
Me: Oh, what church do
you attend?
Her: I am an Israelite. God only loves Israelites.
Me: Oh, ok. That’s cool.
Her: He hates you
Me: I’m going to deliver
some letters to my family now, are you going to send mail as well?
Her: God only loves Israelites
Me: I’m gonna send a
card to my family, are you gonna send a card to your family?
The mailman returned to
the post office and I delivered my letters and we were off to continue our day.
It was not the time or the place to talk
about the gospel.
But it made me laugh as I
was walking in the street with my companion when some lady told us out of the
blue to repent and pray to the virgin.
There’s a lot of
confusion with religion in the world right now, a lot of confused
doctrine.
2 Nephi 27:25 puts it
perfectly as written: Forasmuch as this people draw near unto me with their
mouth, and with their lips do honor me, but have removed their
hearts far from me, and their fear towards me is taught by the
precepts of men—
The Holy Ghost
testified of the truthfulness of the church of Jesus Christ when I was teaching
a family of 3 yesterday as the husband told me that never in his life has he
allowed anyone of any religion to enter his house, and during our lesson he
felt warm and calm.
The church is true and
i love serving a mission.
