A LO-ONG Letter!!

so sorry about last week but that was all that happened but this week there were a few more things

we'll start with tracting and let me tell you we did alot this week, infact in one day we knocked out an entire unit and in that one unit only 8 doors opened and out of those 5 turned into arguments and the other 3 were slightly interested.
Now not trying to make fun of other religions but the bulk of these bashs were about the trinity and as most know that is that Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost are all the same person and i gotta say that this idea is one of the most illogical ideas of all time. Now one of the reasons i say this is because its totally bogus because if it were true then that means that Christ prayed to himself, talked to himself, and in mutiple times for example when he was baptized he anounced through the clouds who he is.
now having that said the number 2 most ridiculous idea is that someone tried to tell us we are saved by that grace thing and that it doesnt matter what we do as long as we believe in Christ meaning that we dont have to keep the commandments. She asked if we knew where we're going after we die and we told her that we hope we go to paradise because its Christs decision and she said that she knows she is going to heaven, and then i said "so your skipping judgement" and she said yes. Now the saved by grace is half right--Gods grace is Christ performing the atonement and paying for all of our sins but if we dont use it and do all we can to be perfectly obedient. If we dont then its like someone buying you the best truck in the whole world and you just leave it in the driveway it doesnt do you much good if you dont use it--does it. ?

now for the grand most bogus idea i have ever heard which goes along with my #2 and that is that we dont need to repent and no matter what we do if God is just then he will send us all to hell, now after this guy saying this i dont know why anyone would go to this church. Now one thing that they kept relating it too was going to court and having to pay for our crimes no matter how bad we feel but what they couldnt understand is that if we truly repent then we are paying for it.

so thats a gist of trackting for us but on the bright side of things..

so the county fair is going on this week and some members for a dinner appointment took us there yesturday and i was super excited when i heard that we were going and it was way fun they had alot of cool stuff and their livestock was inside so that was the first place we went after we ate. So let me tell you it is a small fair there were maybe around 60-70 pigs and only like 6 beef and walking through i was expecting there to be really good looking animals cause all the big farms are around in the states up here but let me
