It is fantastic to hear missionary experiences from members. They are so much more precious. Yesterday we had a missionary themed sacrament meeting. We had two people confirmed into the church and it was fantastic to see their bright smiling faces. Then some missionaries got to speak and we shared experiences about our own missionary work. But the first was our ward mission leader and his experience was great. He shared about how he introduced the gospel and it brought him to life. He was so happy. I love seeing that. Then at the end a new sister missionary got up and shared her past experience. Then she explained how her friend she had tried so hard to show the gospel to came and visited her (she's from England ha) and she got to actually teach her as a missionary. It was fantastic and it really filled the room with the spirit. I love to hear how people's lives are touched by the spirit.
We met with one man who was referred to us by another mission. He recently turned away from Islamic views and has been looking for God's kingdom on the earth. We shared with him about the restoration of the gospel and how the spirit testifies to us. He lit up like a firework. He was so excited to hear about it and to try and pray to see the answer. He was such a genuine and sincere man. God really prepared him to hear this. And I know he prepares people like that everyday. It's just up to all of us, as members to find them and to see that they're prepared. I love the way God works.
The reason I say that is simply because I forgot my planner at home and cannot recall anything else from the week hahaha so have a good week! Mine was made great by seeing God help a man feel the spirit. What's made your week great?
