Elder Noah Keila and Elder copy was robbed of their keys and vehicle in sweet's Village while visiting friends we went to visit some really good friends of ours over in sweets um as missionaries we go and we share messages about Jesus Christ so we went and we were sharing with them for about 15 minutes and unfortunately a guy kind of crossed the street really quick and he pulled out a gun and he told us to give him the car keys and our phones and our wallets and so my companion at the time he gave him the car keys and his phone phone and I actually got up to give him my phone and he ran away he ran to the car and got in the car and like and drove off super quick the vehicle is a grayish blue Suzuki Vitara license plate A6 3368 Elder copany has since returned to the United States Elder Keeler who has been on missionary work here in Antiga for 6 months now says he was terrified by the incident was it frightening oh I was terrified yeah I was I was petrified I I was I I kind of like couldn't believe what was going on I was like no way that this is happening um and I was really scared but I knew I I wasn't scared of being shot but rather I was just kind of scared of the situation Elder Keeler decided to focus on a solution he thinks best fits this ordeal bad things happen like every day right and the point of life isn't to focus on the negative situations rather it's to use those and and to become better because of them and so for the guy that that did that we understand that un unfortunately he was in a very bad spot probably he was in a rough a rough situation and so although what he did was wrong we forgive him I forgive him right that situation was scary however it's okay the missionary says he has been enjoying his time here ministering to people who would listen and the incident hasn't dampened his spirits about the country forgiveness is something that's so important and and it's natural for me because I love Antiga and I love the people so much I can not overstate how much I love being here and serving the people as missionaries not only do we share messages about Jesus Christ we also we go and we help people do stuff we help people clean their yards we cut trees down we we trim yards like these things are so awesome and it's really helped me to develop that kind of love that Jesus Christ has for everybody if he sees this reach out to us I we would love to figure it out and to to talk about this because this is something that it it's hard but hard situations happen and so we would love to talk to him about this while Kela has gotten a new colleague to continue their work he says the incident has taught him to do things differently for me I'd say we're probably going to be a little more careful about where we go at night time right and about our our patterns of of where we go and when we go there but honestly no honestly the the work what we're doing sharing this message is something that's so important that it it can't be stopped just by just by one robbery one bad thing happening right and so it while it's tragic we we're gonna keep going Terry Andrew ABS news
