The Lord's Vineyard

September 5, 2016

Hi,
Wednesday- On Wednesday we went to Fresno for a trainer/ trainee meeting. It was really fun. Learned a lot about the Savior and the apostles and the experience they had in John 21. I think it's pretty interesting especially in Peter's case cause after his experience in specific he becomes one of the single most greatest prophets to walk the face of the earth after that! It's said that people would crave for the opportunity to be caught in Peter's shadow let alone to n bbe taught and ministered by him. 
Thursday- We went and saw our INV Makayla. Her boyfriend(fiance) joined us and we taught the message of the Restoration. The Spirit was SOOOOOO strong in that lesson and at the end we committed them both to baptism for October 15th!!!! Needless to say, they told us afterwards that their marriage isn't till November...haha so we'll have to move that back a bit. But that's ok!! 
Saturday- We got to go to the Vineyard!! It was awesome!!! Herein our mission we have a vineyard that makes a lot of grapes and raisins that are given to people that don't have a lot of food!! It's a really awesome program!! Anyways, we got up mat 4 in the morning and went and ran on the canal...not gonna lie, one Elder and I thought thAT SOME HOMELESS PEOPLE WERE GONNA HOP OUT AT ANY SECOND SO WE ran a lot faster than usual. We ended up running 2 miles in 19 minutes!! HAha it was exhausting. Anyways, we got picked up at 5 and was at the vineyard by 6. From 6-about 1 we picked, unloaded, etc...grapes. It was exhausting!!But lots of fun! That night we went to a party for two of our INV's kids!! It was a lot of fun!! We had a great time and got to play some volleyball in my proselyting clothes again!! 
Sunday- We went and visited our INV Steven, we followed up on if he read the BOM and prayed about it. He prayed but didn't read...so a little disappointing but at least he was 1 for 2!! Hopefully he does it this week though!! We're gonna go see him again on Saturday.
That's all for this week!!! Love you all!!!

This vineyard belongs to the church.  I goes to feed many that cannot afford or otherwise down on their luck.  Really cool to get this opportunity to help in the vineyard.

Haha... Found some dinner on the road for tonight. :)

  1. After all that the Mormon Church itself has now Officially admitted, confirmed and printed about Joseph Smith Jr., like:

    • He took the wives of other Men.
    • He could have sex with the wives of other Men.
    • He took a 14 year-old girl as a wife when he was 38.
    • He broke the laws of the God and Man in taking these Young Girls and the Wives and Mothers of his Friends.
    • He lied to his first wife (Emma) and ALL of the other wives as well, and to his own Church about his practice of Polygamy.
    • He lied to the Husbands of the Women he took as Wives.
    • He took sets of Sisters and Mothers and Daughters as Wives.
    • He took between 30 and 40 wives, so Brigham Young had to take 55 wives, and the Church named a School after him.
    • Then the Mormon Church itself lied about Joseph Smith’s Polygamy for more than 180 years.

    After all this and more… the Leadership of Young Women General Presidency of the Mormon Church has instructed… in YOUR LIFETIME, the millions of Young Women in the Mormon Faith, that Joseph Smith Jr. … Yes, Joseph Smith Jr., is the Example of man to seek as a Husband.

    Read for yourself the fact that this “Female Mormon Leader” told the world, and specifically her 16 year-old daughter “Becky” that, “I believe the most important quality to look for in a husband is Integrity.” Like that of Joseph Smith Jr.

    This so-called adult “Leader” told the Young Women of the Mormon Church that, Joseph Smith Jr. was the example and she even quoted a line that the Young Men of the Mormon Church might be able to use someday when dating someone like “Becky”: “If Joseph Smith could do it, so can I!.”

    Are you kidding me? Who would ever in their right mind repeat the phrase: “If Joseph Smith could do it, so can I!.”

    Can the Young Men of the Mormon Church meet the standard of Joseph Smith? I believe so… the Young Men of BYU have demonstrated that they know well how to handle “Becky” with knowledge that the Police and their Bishops will cover for them.

    Sister Carol B. Thomas, then the First Counselor in the Young Women General Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, is what I would call an Enabler for a group of First Class Sexual Predators.

    With a Mother and a Youth Leader like this… “Becky” does not have a chance in the world of Mormonism.
