I guess good news travels fast

Last Friday (3/2/2012) a girl came to me at school and asked me if I was Mormon. I was surprised by her question because: one, I only told 2 people, one student who is also a friend and an instructor.. and two because we are not supposed/allowed to talk about religion at school.. its too much of a hot button topic. So I keep to myself.

I confirmed and she asked me if we read the Bible everyday, why, how Lucifer became Satan, about the creation and the fall, and some other stuff. I tried to explain to her.. but she looked at me puzzled and as if she didn't believe me. I don't like to Bible bash, so I didn't argue with her beyond attempting to explain what I knew. I realized talking to her that I need to be more well versed in the scriptures than trying to recall what I was taught. I realized I was late clocking back in from lunch, so I left her with the advice of: next time you pray, ask for the knowledge to the questions you have, ask if the scriptures are true, and you'll receive answers.

I'm not used to people that I don't know asking me about the church and what we believe. I liked it and it'd be cool if it happens again. I just hope that if/when it happens again I can fully answer their questions.
