Hi All,
We had the best morning ever! A member lady has a non-member friend she has been sharing the gospel with - she asked us if we would meet with him first before we turn him over to the young elders to teach him. So we had an appointment at the Church at 10:00 this morning. Came ten - no body coming - come 10:15 a lady stops to read the sing on the door and comes in! She felt like she needed to! We spoke for a few minutes and she said she was climbing up the stairs to go the the Government Health Office - a few doors down from us. When she read the sign about a church she wanted to know more!! We gave her a Book of Mormon and she literally grabbed it and opened it and wrote her name in it in big bold letters - Sonja Garrick. We got her phone number and she said she wanted to know more. Then James called and said he was on his way that he got held up at work ...we are just glad he is working - too many aren't! We had a nice discussion with him about the Plan of Happiness our Heavenly Father has for each of His children on this earth. He has a B of M - actually said he had called Sister White and told her some problems he was having. She told him to read in the Book of Mormon - just anywhere, anything and then try to work out his problems - he did and his problem was solved immediately!! Not random - thank you Heavenly Father .. we are excited for him to learn more also - great morning!! The gospel is true and the only way to happiness here and hereafter!
I really know how to spell sign - NOT sing - but she might have a good voice and add to our choir, huh? Some of the members told us this afternoon that if the hurrican comes to Jamaica - we bring in the sign outside so it doesn't blow away!!
ReplyDeleteSo cool! I have started praying for your members along with you guys. Keep telling us names and stories, it is so much better to pray for actual people. I love you. I knew you would be wonderful missionaries! xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteI agree Jen, it's much better to pray for people rather than just the Ocho Rios branch; although I pray for the whole branch too!! Love you!!
ReplyDeleteSo awesome!!! I love so much how Heavenly Father works and how we can see how he works if we obey him and what he asks of us!!! I love that missionary work excitement!!!
