Zombies and a Stunt Man

And nah we didn't do anything for Halloween.... finding was dodgy as though hahaha... we did 5 hours finding on Halloween and I think I talked to a billion zombies.... Like really?... Be original... zombies are lame... haha. But I got a super cool story....:
So a couple of weeks ago we taught this Less-Active. He's a Japanese Stunt-Man and lived in L.A. for 4 years and did movie shoots there! But this lesson he set up with us... just called us one night and said "I want a lesson tomorrow"... So we met with him and he asked a TON of questions!... And it was super cool... we were able to answer every single one of his questions with the Book of Mormon... and then we felt impressed to dwell on this topic and focused on the Book of Mormon the whole lesson.... then by the end of it he was like "You know, both of you impressed me very much today... I actually scheduled this appointment today for the sole purpose of returning this... (pulls out the Book of Mormon)... I never opened it or had any intention to read it... even when I was baptized I didn't see much importance for it..... But now you have motivated me to read it now!!".... I was just like.... uhum.... uhum.... and screamed to myself a little silent "WOOO HOOOOOOOOO" And then just as we finished the lesson he got a call... and then he went and took it... then came back a few minutes later and was like "ELDERS! ELDERS!!!..... Ever since I've been coming to church and you've been telling me to pray... I've been praying I can get a job opening for a movie shoot because I haven't had one in forever! But I just got a call from some people who need me tonight to shoot a scene for a movie! God has answered my prayers!!! Thank you!!!!" And then he invited us to come and watch hahah, I was so cut we couldn't go hahah but we were super happy that things were going good for him now!... All because he was coming back to church. So that was a really cool experience... I have no doubt in my mind that the Book of Mormon can change lives.... even for this man.... it didn't play a part of his conversion... thus the statement by Jeffrey R. Holland... "One cannot come to full faith in this gospel without embracing the divinity of the Book of Mormon"... And so even though this guy has been baptized.... as he reads the Book of Mormon... he's going to be fully converted :D.... WOO HOOO!!!!
I don't have much time to write like I did last week. So I'll just give you scriptures to ponder on hahaha, much easier... So this week is "Charity and Love"..... And as you read the following scriptures just think "How did Jesus Christ demonstrate Charity?".... Ether 12:33-34....Alma 7:11-13..... Luke 7:12-15.... 2 Nephi 26:24-28........ Then....... Mosiah 28:3.... if we have enough Charity and Love and fully realize what Jesus Christ has done for us we can come to be like this and want to spread this Gospel to EVERYONE... Then my all time favorite scripture relating to helping the poor and being charitbale.... Mosiah 4:15-26..... WOOOO!!!.... The more you love your Heavenly Father and your Savior Jesus Christ... the more you will look on those perishing souls with compassion.... you will feel you will want to take them upon your shoulders and cast their sins and burdens behind your back..... So try to focus on that this week! :)
