This week we were talking to an old lady who lives in a
nursing home named Cathy. Her pastor had given her a book titled "Bible
Facts About Heaven" and wanted us to read it to her because she's basically
blind. (If you remember my email from 4 weeks ago, about the Priester, it's the
same guy). There was so much false doctrine in it that it should have been
called "Bible Myths About Heaven." I'm grateful for the knowledge
that we have about the plan of salvation and the hope it brings. The book was
fear driven as if the only way to talk about Heaven was to talk about Hell and
scare people into Heaven. But God is loving and kind and merciful. He wants us
to choose to be happy, not force us to be happy. That's not true happiness.
A lot happened this week, but nothing happened this week. We
had exchanges in Springdale on Tuesday and that was fun. I served in Springdale
for 10 days and got to see a couple of the people I had met while there. On
Wednesday we had a stake district council and then Blitzed the Siloam Springs
area. So there were 26 missionaries in one area trying to find people for the
missionaries serving there to teach. Unfortunately no one found anyone for them
to teach. The sisters that drove us up there though were terrible drivers. I
think we almost died 7 or 8 times in the 30 minute drive. That was exciting.
That's about it for this week.
God is good.
