Meeting With Mormon Missionaries

Hey everybody, I know it's been forever, but life has been just going crazy lately. I need all of you and others, maybe you can pass this along to friends to pray for myself and my 3 teammates tommorow night at 7pm Mountain Time. We are meeting with the Mormon Missionaries in town, who we met briefly last week, but they are coming over for an extended "talk" Monday night. We know they are trying to convert us, but we can't wait to ask some very interesting questions to them. My team and I have done some extensive research in the past week on the teachings of the Mormon Church and have found, as we knew before that there are multiple questions and contradictions contained within Mormon doctrine and teaching. THe book of Mormon, along with another document called the Doctrines and Covanents, both of which Mormons consider equal with the Bible, contradict the Bible in many, many places, and even contradict each other in several places. We can't wait to get some of our questions about these contradictions explained tommorow night. Pray for us as we talk to these Mormon Missionaries that they will attempt to answer our questions and that they won't be able to explain what they believe because of all the contradictions. Also pray that we can explain the truth of the Bible and the biblical Jesus to them, as we anticipate them asking us tough questions in return for us asking them hard questions. Thanks in advance for your prayers and I'll update you Tuesday or Wed. about how it goes.

Engagement!

Big news. As of last Friday I am offically engaged to Rebekah Walker. Most of you who would read this blog would have already received an email or phone call from either me or her, and you're probably just here to see the pictures, so I won't delay. If you need more details, or didn't receive the email just let me know. Here are the pictures.

Pray for us as we plan a wedding and prepare to be married, and as we seek God's guidance as where he would have us serve in ministry together!
