we met up with the mormon guys again today--i can't explain it, but we parted and i just felt SO horribly frustrated. For the last 15 minutes of meeting with them, i wanted to cry knowing they are so misled and so far from the truth. a part of this is my pride--i hoped that what was said from our last meeting had at least left an impact, or made a dent in their hearts....or that perhaps today would make some difference--but it didn't seem to do anything...and my heart just aches for the three of them.
i don't think we'll be meeting up with them anymore--a part of me is relieved; no more manipulative questions! Another part just wants to meet them again, in the hopes that something could be said that would change their hearts.
i dunno...

tonight my heart just aches for them.

hmm... it's interesting... are there mormons on most university campuses? I see them everyday at carleton. It's intriguing to see how we as CCC also target university students; except with a different message. Yeah... I understand the frustration, we meet up with them too. Remember it's not up to you to change hearts; and just keep praying I guess.

hey yous!
i love that you have such a heart for the lost! don't despair..... just because nothing seemed to have changed doesn't mean God won't still use the time that they spent with you to whisper to them! you never know...... keep up the awesome work.

I'm sure they're saying the same thing about you right now...faith is not an easy thing to change, even in the face of what many people might take as the truth.

at the same time, i do believe there is only one truth... so...yeah.

hey lyds.. i have a pretty good idea of what you're talking about, having met up with 3 of them myself earlier this year. (they really ARE moving around campuses!) ...and yeah, i'm still torn between wanting to talk more with them, but it's discouraging how disillusioned they are and frustrating how they twist the Word. yes, continue to pray...mormonism has a very very strong grip on its members...but the true God is the one with the power to change hearts.
