This last week we had a zone training in Zoetermeer.
We had a member of our ward teach a language section during it and that
was actually my favorite part!! He really helped us with the language and it
was just a lot of fun.
So on Wednesday I as on exchange here in Delft and we
did just a bunch of look ups and door knocking. At about 8.00 we knocked
on this guy’s door and he let us right in. He is an old guy from curacoa!
haha I love old men from curacoa. They are always religious and willing
to talk. But anyway we taught him all about the book of Mormon and set up
a return appointment. It was awesome! The work has been going really slow
here lately so that was just what we needed. We are going back tonight to
teach the restoration so I hope it goes well.
We have been teaching this young student lately that
actually referred himself via mormon.org.
He wanted a triple combination so we delivered it to him a while ago, but anyway
we stopped by on Saturday to try and get a lesson set up for Sunday and he let
us right in because he had some questions. He had read the pearl of great
price and had a lot of questions about the war in heaven. I'm not used to
talking about the war in heaven on a first lesson, but it was actually
pretty cool. He seemed to really just love everything we were telling
him, but before we left we told him to check out mormon.org
and look through the Q&A section. ON Sunday when we showed up he told
us he had read through it and he read the part about the churches standing on
plural marriage. Turns out he's gay and he dropped us. He doesn't
want us coming back anymore, and he said that he had hoped that Mormons were different
than other religions but we are all the same. We tried to teach him about it
for a while but he wouldn't listen. It was kind of a hard experience for
me. This guy was so positive. He had so many questions answered
about the bible by reading the pearl of great price and he felt the spirit, but
in the end he just wasn't open to listening.
On a different note, I was reading through the liahona
yesterday and I read an article about a Brother Hulet! haha I don't know if we
are related or anything but it was just cool to see the Hulet name in a
magazine that millions of Mormons read!
Well I had a good week, and I'm grateful for all of the
support and emails from yall!
Elder Hulet
