My family is officially the best in the world. Sorry to all
you other people who don't get my family. It was AWESOME to talk to all of you
yesterday! So happy that my family loves me, that they support me, and that I
will be able to be with them FOREVER!!!!
We taught an AWESOME lesson to an investigator, Eusebia. She
has been taught basically everything over the past couple months. We decided to
restart from lesson 1 to see if we could rekindle a little desire.... Well it
worked. We were teaching her about the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the first
principles and ordinances of the Gospel. Afterwards, we started bearing
testimony. She told us, "I can see it in you. When you say, 'I know that
this is true,' I can see it in your eyes. I am envious of that. I would like to
have that in my life." We said that if she wanted to feel that Spirit that
she was feeling in that moment, and have what we have, she needs to read, pray,
and come to church so that she can find out for HERSELF that our message is
true. We don't teach people to increase the membership of the church. We teach
people to open the doors of the Celestial Kingdom of God to His children. We
had invited her to church SO many times before this, but she had never come.
Her husband is very disinterested and is against her making her kids come to
church. For that reason, she has felt very alone. BUT SHE CAME TO CHURCH
YESTERDAY!!!!!!! She showed up like halfway through sacrament meeting, and left
after sacrament meeting, but she came to church! That was a miracle in and of
itself! Def the highlight of my week, besides talking with you beautiful
people. The Spirit really can melt egos, fears, doubts, and can open people's
hearts like a jackhammer. It is the MOST important thing in this work and we
cannot do anything without it. I love it with all of my heart. I am excited for
the opportunity to show a brand new missionary how to do missionary work. I
pray that I will be led by the Spirit every day, and that I will remain worthy
to have His presence with me. Your prayers are needed more than ever now!!!
Keep them coming PLEASE. Love you all with all of my heart. God Speed.
So happy to have my son be your trainee! I pray for the two of you every day several times a day! All my prayer. Marion Minnich
