Default Meeting With Missionaries

Today I will be meeting with the missionaries. I am taking them out to dinner and hopefully I can get some of my questions about the church openly and honestly. I will let you know how it goes to those who are interested.

Yeah I am interested to hear how things go. Don't worry if they cannot answer all your questions. The answers are around to those who earnestly seek

I just got home from meeting with the missionaries. They gave me their testimony and I explained to them my problems and issues. They were nothing but open and honest. They answered my questions 100% truthfully. I thank them for that and I must say I have a great deal of respect for them. I feel a sense of peace now since I met with them. I have a new found respect for this church and gospel. They challenged me to pray and read the Book of Mormon and I am going to take that challenge and meet with them again later in the week to let them now how it is going. The only problem we had was somebody in the booth behind us was mocking us the whole time and making comments about the Book of Mormon. Thank you all for being so patient and understanding with me. To anyone who would like to know my journey I would love to keep all of you informed.

Thanks for sharing with us your experience with the missionaries. I love honest missionaries and honest investigators alike!

Did you blow little spitwads over the side of the booth? Just kidding. It is sad that people can't control themselves at least to the point of keeping their ears in their own conversations!

Hope you will keep us posted and hope you find light in your reading of the BofM.

Take Care PAGuy.
