Moles and Bats
hey there all,
this week was great, we taught alot of people and are still trying to get our good investigators to get out of bed and come to church. this week went by really fast actually and the time just seems to be floating away. the book of mormon challenge is going fantastic! i just really love the scriptures. me and my companion elder barlow had a really cool revelation type thing happen to us the other day. we were in 2 nephi reading chapter 12, its a part of Isaiah talking which can be really confusing. but in verse 20 it says, ¨In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which he hath made for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats;¨ me and my comp read this and thought wow that is cool imagery, moles and bats are random weird creatures. then we talked about it, and a connection slapped me in the face. isaiah was talking about the second coming and such (awesomeness) and in this verse, to emphasize how meaningless the idols will be he says theyll be thrown to the moles and to the bats. idols were created to look stunning and be appealing to the eye, moles and bats on the other hand, they have the crappiest sense of sight haha. it was fun when we made that connection and we ran around hootin and hollerin in our pench about how cool isaiah was. thats all i got today, love you all. elder hayden summers

It looks like Hayden has turned into a tree hugger (LOL). Loved the moles and bats connection. Hope the call went well today.
