today was the
first day of school right? how did it go?! tell me all about it! syd as
seminary pres!? YOU GO GIRL! you´re gonna rock it. i just know it.
anyways, we had an AWESOME week. last thursday we
were knocking doors and found an ANGEL. seriously. it´s amazing to see
that the Lord really is preparing people to recieve the gospel. it´s so
true that people are literally waiting for us.
her name is Maria Jose. our first lesson with her was amazing! she
understood everything we taught...i´m pretty sure she understood better
than anyone i´ve ever taught in my whole mission. when we asked her what
it would mean to her to know that the church is true she said "well it
would mean that God is giving me the opportunity to be apart of the
restoration of the gospel." she told us that we helped her to see a
"different vision"...and at the end of the lesson she was like "i want
to share this with my loved ones! i want them to feel what i feel right
now!" how awesome right? basically she wants to be baptized...tomorrow
we are going to have a family night with her and one of the families in
the ward...im SUPER EXCITED. it was so awesome to see the spirit testify
to her of the truthfulness of our message. when i bore my testimony at
the end of the lesson she started crying and said "i know you guys are
here for a reason". i really love her so much. i love being a
missionary...i love helping people come unto christ. it´s the best thing
ever.
yesterday while we were knocking doors, we found a
guy...a crazy guy to say the least. the lesson we had with him was
weird. he has a lot of weird beliefs. it´s been really bugging me...how
the lesson went.
so when we started talking about God we said that God has a body
of flesh and bones...just like ours. we read in genesis that God made us
in His image. he asked us how we know that God has a body if we´ve
never seen Him. we talked a little bit about faith...how we know things
are true even when we can´t see them. then he started telling us that
God could be a plate of pasta, or the water. he said there´s a
difference between knowing and believing. we testified to him that we
KNOW that God is real...that we´ve prayed to God to know it and have
FELT it through the Holy Ghost. he still continued to say
that there´s no possible way to know. he kept asking how and why. SO my
question for you is: how do YOU know that God exists? email me your
testimonies of what you know and how!
anyways, thanks for the birthday wishes! i love you
all SO MUCH! SO SO MUCH. i´m so grateful we are an eternal family.
thanks for your examples to me of faithfulness. hey when you can you
should watch the mormon message "because of Him"...it´s awesome. have a
great week!!
con amor, hermana steele
