The Source of Truth

Elder Harden reading in the evening
after a long day's work.

Sometimes my biggest fear is what an investigator is doing when we aren't around them. There is so much opposition to truth and righteousness in this world and our investigators get hit with it as soon as the missionaries leave their home. Misinformation is everywhere and it always seems to find the people we're teaching. Most of the time people trust the internet and Google search more than they trust the scriptures. 

The number one reason why people stop meeting with us is because they misunderstand what we believe, or they think we believe something that we don't actually believe. It would be pretty funny if there wasn't so much at stake with these people. 

Elder Harden and I were teaching a man and he loved everything about what we taught and then a couple days later he looked on YouTube and found "beliefs" we have, which aren't true, and he decided not to continue learning even though we showed him in the scriptures that it's not what we believe. Just remember, if it's important to check your sources when writing a school paper, it's infinitely more important to check your sources when seeking eternal life.
