Bible Bashed!

Hey! So this week I went to church for my first time without showering because we didn’t have water for about 2 days. But it rained pretty good and that´s about the same thing right? Really that´s pretty lucky. I´ve been pretty spoiled so far with running water.

We had a lesson with una adventista. She told us we HAD to recite to her the 10 commandments right there and then. We were in the middle of trying to teach the first lesson so we kind of stopped and were silent for a minute while we listened to her tell us how with all her years of studying the Bible she can tell we don’t even know the 10 commandments and how we know nothing about the Bible and how we should be preaching from the Bible only or else we´re all wrong. We just closed with a prayer and got out of there. That was an experience though...

Despite that, it was a great week! We just finished a zone activity where we had a big capture the flag water balloon fight. 

This week I’m studying more about the priesthood and in particular what it means to be ordained with the priesthood by someone who holds it as well. Like the line of authority. That’s something people have a hard time understanding. They think people can receive the authority through revelation. Any ideas?

Well love you all!
