This week started out rough. We did a lot of knocking on doors with
out a lot of success. However, every day that we come home feeling
like we had nothing was all made up by our meeting with Lidia. She is
amazing and I love her. Last week she said it was little hard to
understand the Book of Mormon because she was just opening and read
little parts. So we challenge her to start reading at the beginning to
get the story line. God answers prayers. He answered several of ours
in the next meeting. Lidia explained that as she read the 2nd to last
paragraph in the Book of Mormon, Moroni's promise, she felt the Holy
Ghost. He bore witness to her that it is true and that the Book of Mormon
is true. As she said, “I thought it was true, but now I know it is
true.” The spirit was so strong as she testified of this experience
that my testimony was strengthened. Then she went on to show us
another scripture that stood out to her. 1 Nephi 10:14 Talking about
how everything needs to be grafted back to one tree. She went on to
explain that this means that all churches need to come back to the
one. This is what we have been praying for, that she would start to
see that there is only one church that has the full truth on the
earth. Really, a lesson where the investigator does most the teaching
is amazing. It was a lesson to give us the energy to knock on doors for
the rest of the week. Lidia also came to church, and I think it was a
good experience for her.
I have also loved reading in 2 Nephi the past couple of days. It is
all about Christ. He invited all to partake of his salvation. He loves
us each so specifically that he gave his own life. There is never any
point that we can't return, turn around and come to him. “He inviteth
all to come unto him, partake of his goodness and denith none to come
unto him.” The Book of Mormon is powerful!
Oh for some sad news--- our 7ft branch mission leader and his family
moved back to Utah. Our branch average age just jumped dramatically.
Somteet also left for Thailand for a month. However, our ward of
grandmas still is doing great as ever. I love it here!
