Oh hey there!
The past few months, we've been teaching a professor who teaches at
the college here. He's Catholic, and told us initially that he wasn't
planning on changing. A month ago, we started from square one and
taught the doctrine of the Godhead. It sort of blew his mind. Then we
invited him to pray to Heavenly Father in the name of Christ. He then
had to cancel our appointments for the next few weeks, and when we
finally met with him we expected to be dropping the guy. He told us
he's been feeling so much closer to God, and he attributed it to the
fact that he's been thinking of them as separate Beings. We're really
excited about him!
We scheduled a lesson with him at the church building in Madison and
asked a lady in the ward to drive us there and join us in the lesson.
We waited for 15 minutes for her at our designated meeting place. No
one showed. We drove to her house. No one was there. We called her 17+
times with no answer. Our professor didn't answer his phone either. I
was callin' some people A-DOLTS when he called us back and said, "I'll
be at the church in five!" So I booked it to Madison while Sister
Vaughn frantically called every human in the ward directory with two X
chromosomes. We finally got a hold of the YW president who was
miraculously free in that 30 minute time frame. The spirit in the
lesson was so powerful. God makes miracles happen!
The Gospel is incredibly simple. We are children of a living and
loving Father and we want to be like Him. Our older brother, Jesus
Christ, made a way for us to come home. It's through loving God and
making promises with Him that we let that merciful power into our
lives. We come to relearn who our Father is when we make those
promises. We come to realize once more that those around us are our
brothers and sisters. We promise our Father we'll always rely on our
older Brother's help and He promises us a foretaste of home--the Holy
Ghost. The more we hear and speak that "tongue of angels," the more
comfortable we're going to be when we come home. We're part of this
Church now because we promised Father we'd share the truth with our
brothers and sisters. So let's remind them of who they are and why
they're here and where they can go!
Love you!
