Dang false teachers



Hey fam! Well, first of all, thanks for the pile of mail in my inbox! Its always exciting to hear from ya'll. got a little Okey in me. Don't worry, it will wear off on the flight home, when that time rolls around.So, the pictures are of last P-day. We went bowling and its way expensive here. I remember paying like $6 at home. It was $11 here and I wasn't as good, crapy balls and crapy lanes, but its always fun to spend time with some other missionaries and I got a high score of 183.On Sunday we taught a great family, the Evans. We finally ran into a concern. Donna, the mom, doesn't fully understand how God gives authority/priesthood to his servants and when we taught about baptism and it being done by propper authority, up popped the concern. What's funny is, people here always seem to have a problem with us declaring God's authority lies in ONE church and they always know we are basically saying that nobody else has the right to do ordinances...or better yet, to preach the gospel. We don't even have to say anything and instantly something inside them tells them their preacher doesn't have authority, yet they want to defend that aspect. I have never told anyone their preacher doesn't have authority, but only how it is given and where it lies...they always know what that means, but for some reason don't want to accept that thought, even though we are right in front of them to offer the correct way. I wish it could be as simple as Acts 18 and 19, where someone with good intentions baptizes people, but not correctly so when Paul comes they accept the correct way. Their doing good though. Its a small stumbling block. Her husband is ready to jump in the font as soon as its filled, but we want his wife to be at a similar state so the family can be baptized. Great family, just taught by false teachers too much.Its been fairly good, someday I'll speak with enough power to penatrate the hearts of men...and women.It sounds like things at home are great! If this homosexuality stuff continues just shoot Romans 1:20something. Its a sin and completely against God!Well, love ya!
