Wayside Lighthouse Love and Holiness




Amen everyone. I'm still alive in Natchez. Um. We had the um. Uhhh. Transfers. Were staying for a third. Which is pretty sweet. We lost 3 of the elders in the district though. Very sad. But we got some new punks in here so we'll see if they're cool or not. My memory is absolutely garbage and I have no idea what I've done the past like month. But that's okay. Cuz we found a dude who was a lady's son who we were tryna visit. And he's a minister. (Uh oh) He's mega wacko like they all are haha. But hes cool so its okay. When we first met him and were talkin to him it was super weird. He just went off on how we're all ministers and we need to blah blah blah. He wasn't mean or anything. It was just like...a pentecostal sermon where they're just yelling stuff and gettin wild. He was pretty chill though. Just like would not let us get a word in. But I destroyed him with the BOM mwaahahahahah. Jk. I just whipped out the story of Ammon cuz something he said reminded me of it and then he was like woah. Teach me more about this mormon book. And we got em. Anyways. We were gonna go to a bible study at his church. The wayside lighthouse love and holiness nondenominational church. Somethin else huh? But when we put it into our maps it couldn't find it! It was so dumb haha. We tried a bunch of times. We even called his mom and she was like. "Oh its uh west side life or something." And that didnt help at all. So we ended up not making it. But were goin this week. So it'll be good. We visited him again and apparently he looked up stuff on the internet as all these fruitcakes seem to do. BUT. luckily he found a video that talked about Joseph smith seeing heavenly father and Jesus Christ. Nothing anti I'm pretty sure. So we just explained like what the BOM is like 12 times cuz he kept thinking that it's just a remake of the king james bible. Like I read a scripture and he was like I remember that in the king James version. And I was like ...its not in the bible. And he got major confused. Anyways long story short hes slowly but surely learning. As are all our people. These southerners sure have a lot of faith but man they sure is dumb sometimes. Or just believe in false truths. Cuz that'll do it. And that's the hardest part is teaching them stuff and then they go and ask their preacher and he'll say to stay away from us. And junk like that. But it's fun anyways. The members are all super awesome. We still got all those Catholics who like us for some reason. Were living right next to the Mississippi river. It's a good time. Um. Yeah. Alright gotta blast.

Ps scripture time: Galatians 3: 26-29

26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.
27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
29 And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.

It's like 2 nephi 26:33. We're all children of God.
