Never ignore a prompting from the Holy Ghost


 
Hello Everyone!
I can't believe 3 months has already gone by! I love it here! This week we had stake conference. We were invited to go to the priesthood leadership and adult sessions because there were a lot of talks on hastening the work. There has been a really big push for members to start being missionaries! Whether it be online with social media, people at work or other members of their family, they have been challenged to share the Restored Gospel with them! I am so excited to see how many members will try and do this! I hope a lot of referrals come from it because it would make our jobs a lot easier, especially sense it is starting

to get cold here, knocking on doors kind of hurts your knuckles when your hands are cold.
The best part of this week has definitely been with a less active member that we have been trying so hard to get to church. One night we were walking by his home and just had a feeling that we should stop by. He let us in and his non member friend was there! It was perfect! We shared a quick message with him and had him watch a Mormon Message clip. The spirit was so strong and you could tell that this non member could feel it too. We asked him if we could continue to teach him and without hesitating he
 
said that he would really like that. Then without us even asking him he said that he would like to come to church some time and that he would get the less active member to take him! It was awesome! On our way out we told the less active member about stake conference and away we went. On Sunday about 20 minutes into the session in walks this less active member who has not come to church in years! He must have felt something during that last lesson, he drove 30 minutes to the stake center! I have a very good feeling that he will continue to come to church now and be able to take the sacrament!
I'm going to share with you the same thing that we shared with this less active member. Here is the clip that we had him watch. http://www.mormonchannel.org/video/mormon-messages?v=3701964025001  You might have to watch it twice, once just to be able to see what this young man went through and how he was able to find the church. The second time pay attention to what the members did to help this young man on his journey. Through their example, friendship and acting on promptings from the Holy Ghost, they helped save this mans life. You never know when someone will be watching or listening. Never ignore a prompting from the Holy Ghost, that prompting may be an answer to someone's prayer. I know that through our examples and efforts we can ALL help bring others to Christ.
Thank you for all of your emails, prayers and support! I love and miss you all!
