Durham - Week 4

Hello Friends and Family,

This last week wasn't very successful, but I really had my eyes opened to a lot of things. I realized (and was reminded) how loving our  Heavenly Father is and I am so grateful for the patience he has had with me, especially this week.

We were given a long list of less actives to visit and we spent a good amount of time trying to track them all down. It is really hard to visit some of them when we are riding our bikes.  It can even be hard when we have the car to use, especially at the end of the month when we are low on miles. We are managing though, and we have met some great people.

My favorite thing that happened last week is when we were leaving the library a man called over to us, so we went over and started talking to him. He immediately started telling us that we are delusional for having a belief in god and how if god were real he would be an evil god. We both wanted to just stand there and argue with him but I just kept my mouth shut and let Elder  Guymon take the lead because he tends to be more calm than I am in situations like that. Then Elder Guymon started to argue with him so I cut in and bore my testimony.  After that we just said goodbye and went on our  way.  It was a lot of fun talking to him though, but he is the one that is delusional.

This gospel is the only way to true and lasting happiness and I love it with all my heart.  

Love,
Elder Drake Harper
