We just got out of a first lesson that was like nothing i have ever had yet! It was the type of first lesson i remember imagining before i came on the mission. Where when we taught the restoration the people were amazed that Joseph Smith saw God and Jesus Christ and was later shown where to find ancient records that contained the fullness of Christs gospel. The woman we taught is named Sarah, she has about 55 years and we contacted her on the street a couple of days ago. SHe was blown away by what we shared, she was born catholic, but has never believed in it because of all the changes and uncertainty in their doctrine. She is the most prepared person for the restoration that i have ever taught. She was holding the Book of mormon in her hands and just telling us how big of a gift this was to her. She said something along the lines of i know this is possible, i know it could happen, but i have to meditate and read and pray to know if this is really true, exactly what we were going to ask her to do. THe spirit was tangible during the lesson, I love that feeling so much and can feel it again as I think about it. The reality of the Restoration was confirmed again to me, I do not doubt the testimony I have received. I KNow it is true. We will see her again thursday! I cant wait to hear her questions and the feelings she has had.
Geri is doing great! He loves the BOM and shared a powerful testimony with us about the importance of continuing to nourish our faith, that seeing the missionaries a couple times a week is not enough, but that we continually have to nourish our spirits, just as we nourish our bodies! I love him so much!
The work really is progressing, we are teaching more than ever and really pushing for opportunities to teach people on the streets. We are seeing miracles from increased faith! We taught one guy Redhoune, the restoration in front of a boulangry the other day, he couldnt take his eyes off the BOM and when we offered it to him he said, " i wanted to ask to have it earlier, but i just wasnt sure if it was your last one or if i could have it". We taught him again at the church and he is so great, so sincere! I am loving my mission so much. The Lord is really blessing us and I couldnt be happier! I Know this is the Lords work, I know this is HIs Church on the earth today! I love you all so much and hope you have a great week! THank you so much for your love and support!
