Mormon Madness

On Saturday night, two mormon missionaries came over to give us their "lessons" on mormonism. Ryan actually ran after them (literally) down the street a couple days prior in hopes of witnessing to them. Anyway, Elder Lee and Elder Summons arrived with a newly converted mormon named Ryan. They were pleasantly friendly and polite at first introduction but as soon as we started talking that changed drastically. As soon as Elder Lee found out we were Christians who knew our Bible and mormonism he went into insult mode. He started yelling at us saying we were asking stupid questions that were getting us nowhere, that we were blasphemers, that he could sense the spirit of satan in the room!, and that we were hypocrites. Of course we were not any of these things and we even apologized to them many times if we had come across that way, but they didn't care. They just wanted to give their spiel and have us accept it as truth and then leave, but we wanted to go to God's word and dialog w/ them as Paul did on his missionary trips and they weren't having it. So they finally concluded that they wanted to meet w/ Ry and I one on one this week after we promised to read the book of Mormon.....uugghhh! So not looking forward to that.

They left on good terms (kind of) but this man was flat out rude. I couldn't believe that mormon missionaries would act like that and treat people in their own homes with such disrespect. You could tell he was afraid......afraid of going to God's word because then he would be found out, found out of his lies and deception. Please pray for these lost souls. Especially for the new mormon Ryan, he seemed to be still searching and hopefully now he's heard two sides of the Gospel and i pray that God would draw him to the truth. Ry and i are going to prepare tonight for our next meeting with Elder Lee, we need to think of a better way to talk to him without getting into heated debates. We just need to give him the Gospel i think, and tell him where we're coming from right off the bat. They are so trained and brainwashed that its seems impossible for their hearts to ever be softened.
