About half way through morning planning there was some sort of system crash on Elder Magalei's phone. The Missionary smart phones we use are locked down with an application named Mass360 and for what ever reason it deleted a few critical applications, including facebook, daily planner, notes, gospel library, and much more. We finished planning and I was able to synch our data only to find moments after having sunk the same failures accurred to me. Turns out the system glich is not an isolated issue but at the very least mission wide and likely covers other missions with smart phones. We are kind of hosed. We had a pretty busy day tomorrow but I couldn't say which lessons were at what times. :/ This will be fun.
Sunday was interesting. Zoey and Christian, and a family we've recently started teaching. Things went smoothly. We were able to meet with Zoey and Christian after church to talk about some questions they had. They wanted to know what they could do to come closer to God. We outlined how baptism would be an essential step in their progression and were able to challenge them to a specific baptismal date.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Now even gmail has failed me. I had finished up what had turned out to be a really good email and it failed to save the most recent draft 😣ðŸ˜
I'm sorry but I don't think I'll try to replicate it. Hopefully a brief summary will sufice to outline what once was.
"No 'missionary pastor' alex you can't preach in our church, but look at the introduction to the book of mormon"
"I don't believe in God, I believe in the great spirit.........The world is going to be destroyed by a giant volcano somewhere under the pacific ocean" - crazy native american (see Alma 18) who had some interesting additional interpretations of the end of the world.
Our tiwi isn't working and we keep getting the same indian guy who is starting to not like us anymore.
An in-depth comparison on the doctrines of baptism as contained in The Book of Mormon and Bible. The Book of Mormon supports everything the bible says, clarifies many things, and reveals many key doctrines pertaining to baptism. Basicly, the Book of Mormon is super cool.
Jose who we read the account in 3 nephi 11 of the coming of Jesus Christ is super cool. He even watched the restoration on his own and we had a great lesson.
We had a fantastic lesson on the plan of salvation with Zoey and Christian. We taught how in temples, families can be bound/sealed for time and all eternity as well as we can preform vicarious baptisms for our ancestors who never had the opportunity to receive the blessings found in the fulness of the gospel. It was a super powerful lesson and not to be forgotten.
