Hello🤗
On
Sunday, two of our investigators came to church, and for one of them it
was her first time! We were so excited to have her there, as her health
makes it difficult, but she showed her faith by coming anyways! I know
that the Lord is pleased with her efforts and that he'll bless her as
she continues to try her best to do whatever He asks of her!
Also,
this past week we were able to visit a less-active sister named Carol,
who is from Florida! She joined the church a couple of years ago when
she met and married her husband, who was a member growing up. Carol
explained to us that her first husband owned a funeral home, so she was
introduced (through that) to all sorts of different religions, but as
she talked with these people about their beliefs she said she could tell
that all of them only had pieces
of truth. She said she started to think that no one had the whole
truth, until she met her husband and learned about the LDS church. As
she read the Book of Mormon and took discussions from the missionaries
she knew she had finally found the whole restored truth of the gospel of
Jesus Christ! Once she was baptized, unfortunately, the members and the
missionaries got really busy and she became overwhelmed with some
things and sort of slipped through the cracks, and has gone to church
off-and-on since then. So, we're going to start going through the
new-member lessons with her, and help her read the Book of Mormon
regularly again to get those good habits of spiritual CPR (church,
praying, reading) back into action so she can keep her faith in store
and become active in the church again!
But
I'm so grateful to have the knowledge of the gospel of Jesus Christ in
my life, and I know that it is the whole truth. That, with the Book of
Mormon, the restored gospel and teaching of Jesus Christ in it's
fulness, are here on the earth again today and that Jesus Christ Himself
is at the head of this church, leading us through His living prophets.
I'm grateful for President Monson's service, and I know that our next
prophet will be a man called of God as well, and if you ever struggle to
believe that, you can ask God yourself and He will manifest the truth
of it unto you by the power of the Holy Ghost, because by the power of
the Holy Ghost, you may know the truth of all things! (Moroni 10:3-5)
Love you all,
Sister Wilcox ✌
