The work in Gig Harbor is amazing!!! Really wonderful things. Did the family get my book of Mormon challenge? I didn't hear back from anyone about it.... and amazing! Just as I was typing it up for you guys, my blue copy of the book of Mormon was sitting next to my computer and the guy sitting next to me asked if he could see it, because he wanted to read some! WHOA!!! The Book has such an amazing power. John the Woodcarver is going to be baptized on the 21st! great great great. He is so excited. He love the book of Mormon. He gets emotional when he talks about it. At a loss for words after describing it as a ray of sunshine on a cloudy day and just what he needs John says "Its a miracle. That's all I can say a miracle." OH JOHN! if only you knew how prophetic those words really are. Its true!!! the Book of Mormon is plain and precious-plain because it is so direct. Precious because it is part of the covenant and promise of the lord for out teaching in these last days. The Lord knew that he would have all nations to convert and hand picked what was recorded and compiled so we would have the best chance at finding our Redeemer. John says he will do whatever it takes to follow that book. I hope we each have that commitment. please share your love of the Book of Mormon!! I love it. I've had 21 years to grow a love for it but when john shares his love for it-my heart burns and expands to an overflowing of joy as my love for the Book grows even more.
OH GREAT!
What should I write about this week? umm oh! This is interesting. We saw someone beat up on someone at a gas station one night. I was quite shocked and didn't know how to react. Could something so small and simple (compared to the drugs, murders, and horrific things I never see but DO happen) leave me feeling this sad and regretful? Some people wonder 'How could there be a God and such terrible things happen' and now that concern rang in my ears. Why does that happen? It doesn't seem fair. And then, weirdest thing- I started feeling to spirit so strongly. What was I being told to do? Had I been asking for direction? I hadn't really been asking anything (decision making) and I wasn't being prompted to do anything...so what was going on? But then I learned another wonderful thing about the Holy Ghost. He is a comforter. The strong feelings of the spirit will come when we need a direct answer or direction, they come to push us into action, and they come to confirm truth. But they also come to protect us. As we live worthily, we can have all of the blessings of the Holy Ghost. He guides our minds and comforts out hearts, helping us see through the mists of darkness in the world today and understand God's true and loving character. The power of the Holy Ghost is real and alive in missionary work. I am so grateful to have the gift of constant companionship.
