So this week we were doing service for this member in the ward and we showed up 30 minutes early and he wasn't there, but there was this woman there that we have never seen before and we asked if she lived there and she does. Taken I have been there a ton of times and never seen her there, I was a little surprised. So he showed up and everything was fine and we were doing the service, but 2 and a half hours later when it was time to leave he just started yelling at us because we didn't call him and were leaving. He was yelling at us and was like f you, you need to call me. Oh and he was saying he was going to call my last companion and say how bad I am. Definitely not the best thing, but I was just like okay and we left. He got mad because we saw his adultery, but that is not my fault. He ended up apologizing the next day at church but still. Our Branch president said i shouldn't go over there any more and I agreed. The whole point in saying this is because I didn't care that he was mad at us for seeing his sin or that woman. I was just glad that we got to serve him. It is like Elder Holland says that is was never easy for Jesus Christ and if it was never easy for him then it wouldn't be easy for us. As missionaries and representatives of Jesus Christ we are meant to feel at least some of what he felt. I was excited that I was able to do his work and feel some of what he felt.
Other than that this week was good. Our investigators are progressing and are doing well. This week I grew a ton and found out the importance of planning for your investigators.
I know that this church is true and if you get rejected think how many times that the Savior got rejected. I mean heck he got crucified. They hated him so much that they wanted to crucify him. Every time that something bad happens just remember the Savior and remember that we don't nearly have it as bad as he did. He was prefect in every single way and still was ridiculed. I love you guys so much and have an amazing week!
