so last night we were knocking doors in this apt building and we knocked on this one guys door and he opened it up and we told him who we were and from then one we had a discussion about god and religion and everything for one hour and fifteen minutes we stood in his door. and about half and hour into it we were struggling for words in portuguese and he was like do you speak english and we said yeah and then he said in perfect english that he can speak in english so we did that hahait was cool but he was also just trying to prove us wrong. but he couldnt he would ask a question or say something and we always had a response then he would go back to arguements that he had usued before. but it was kinda frustrationg because some of the questions he asked would have required deep deep answers and we really didnt wanna get too deep but it would always come to the point where we would tell him he had to read and pray about god and our message then he would change the subject or ask a new question. but then he was a jerk said his last words and then befiore we could respond he said he had to go. but it was fun because we proved him wrong and we found the perfect scripture that describes him. because he was really really smart and had done his research.
2 nephi 9:28 O that cunning aplan of the evil one! O the bvainness, and the frailties, and the cfoolishness of men! When they are dlearned they think they are ewise, and they fhearken not unto the gcounsel of God, for they set it aside, supposing they know of themselves, wherefore, their hwisdom is foolishness and it profiteth them not. And they shall perish.
29 But to be alearned is good if they bhearken unto the ccounsels of God.
this is like a perfect description of this guy he was smart but he had the councel of god right in front of him and he wouldnt take it. oh well maybe he will think about it and change or wanna talk some more.
i love and miss you guys
love
