We
weren't able to meet with T this week, but we want to share the article from
the Liahona about the coming forth of the Book of Mormon. He isn't opposed to
the idea of Christ visiting the Americas or the Book of Mormon being true. But
the way he says he knows the Bible is true is through years of researching it
and looking for factual evidence that supports it's truth, so that is exactly
what he is trying to do with the Book of Mormon.
We
met with Z and his friend, M, now that Ramadan is over. So we were
finally able to give them a Book of Mormon in Urdu, hopefully they look it
over. They also taught us numbers in Urdu, it was pretty
interesting. The way they write their numbers is really complicated, but
it's really cool. J is from the Philippines and so he speaks Tagalog, but
he is basically fluent in English.
I
don't know if I told you this, but President Barrow is having us read the
entire Book of Mormon this transfer, and he gave everyone a new copy and is
having us highlight names, quotes, and attributes of Jesus Christ. Right
now I am in Mosiah, and it has been an amazing experience. It's hard to
describe though, you'll just have to try it yourself :)
Last
Sunday, we had the area seventy come visit our ward. His name is (roughly
translated) Jung ChaeGeol. He gave a really good talk about keeping the Sabbath
day holy. He had the spirit really strong with him, he was literally
glowing.
Haven't
eaten anything out of the ordinary recently. The best thing was probably
chicken. That's always the answer to that question though :)
Typhoon
season is finally over, and now it's cicada season here. They are like
three times the size of cicadas in Utah, and probably ten times as noisy. It's
really annoying. And their shedded skin is clinging to tree trunks all
over the place, it's pretty gross.
That's
about it for the week, talk to you later!
Love,
Elder
Hines
