Oi Familia,
It was another wonderful week.
We have seen so many miracles as we
have tried finding and teaching in different ways.
We've seen Tr several times this week!
We are regaining contact with the H Family! We haven't seen Ti yet,
but we have seen J and Tr. Tr was really excited to see us when we
stopped by. He said we should come by again and contact Ti to know
when a good day is.
We met an incredible woman named Co! We
went to try to visit Q and J (we taught them a few times several
months ago and lost contact), and Co answered. She was a friend of
theirs who was staying with them for a while. She was so open to
learning. We taught her the first lesson right there on her doorstep
and she agreed to read and pray about the Book of Mormon. She has
been searching through different religions for a while, and is an
honest seeker of truth. I'm excited for her to read the Book of
Mormon!
We had an incredible lesson with M! She
is a young adult and it was incredible to see how her attitude
changed as we read through the chapter. The Spirit became stronger
and stronger, and by the end she told us about how she had felt the
"warm and fuzzy" feeling as she read and that she really
liked it!
A is progressing really well. She is
going to be baptized on April 12th now, instead of the 26th, so
that's great!
On Wednesday night an appointment fell
through. We tried so hard to contact B and S, but turns out they had
forgotten about the appointment and weren't ready to meet. So we felt
like we should try by Brother M's house. We hadn't been teaching
Brother M for the past 2 weeks. We decided to give him time because
he was having some setbacks.
When we drove by his house, Sister T
said, "Park! Park! He's getting out of his car!" So we
hurried and parked and went to talk to him. He was so happy to see
us! It was so neat to see his face light up! He told us that
something had been missing from his life for the past 2 weeks. Then
he told us he knew the things missing were the things we were
teaching him. We testified of the gift of the Holy Ghost. He finally
said, "Oh, is that what it is?" Kind of jokingly , because
we had tried explaining it to him so many times before and now he
finally understood! We were able to have a wonderful discussion with
him right there and testify again of the restoration of the gospel
(he said, "Wait...you used the word restored. What do you mean
by that?") and the Plan God has for His children. We could tell
that this time he was understanding even more!
He is out of town for the next few
weeks for doctor tests, etc. But it is so wonderful to have contact
with him again! As we talked he asked us several questions- referring
to experiences he has had. Including, how could God let such awful
things happen to good people and why doesn't He stop it? As we spoke
with him, stories from the Book of Mormon kept coming to my mind and
I was able to testify using the Book of Mormon. It occurred to me
that ALL of the answers to his questions are found in the Book of
Mormon.
I have spent a significant amount of
time studying Alma chapters 14 and 24 this week. They are such
powerful chapters. We sent these chapters to Brother M. He has had
almost identical experiences while serving in the Navy for 20+ years.
I recommend these chapters. They are
very sad, but we learn so many powerful principles from these
converts' and missionaries' examples.
It's been an incredible week and we
have met so many wonderful people!
I love this gospel! I love being here
in Texas and teaching the people here!
Tudo bem.
Hope you all have a wonderful week!
Com Amor,
Sister Greenall
