Meet the Mormons

Hey everyone!

So yesterday I had my final Zone Conference and just as usual, it was amazing. Exactly what I needed to hear to keep me pushing strong these last 5 weeks. We also were able to watch the "Meet the Mormons" movie before it comes out and let me just tell you all....................I LOVE BEING A MEMBER OF THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS! That movie is so powerful and truly shows how much the Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ will bless anyone's life no matter who they are or where they came from! Go check out meetthemormons.com to watch the trailer and to learn more about the movie!

This week we honestly had one of the coolest lessons I've ever had on my mission. If you all remember our super awesome Member Missionary, Sis. Dixon (a.k.a "How's that working out for ya?") she set up ANOTHER appointment with us to teach another one of her coworkers. She gave us a little bit of background on him and said that he doesn't believe in God, he's been going through a super difficult time lately, and is just gradually watching his life crumble to pieces. So we went in & just truly listened to the Spirit to know what we needed to teach him. We started talking about God and asked him why he has never believed in God. He talked about some difficult experiences he had and how those are proof that God doesn't exist because God would never allow those things to happen. Again, Sis Dixon brought up another "How is that working out for you?!" point, but stated it in a more "scientific" way for him so that he would understand better. Basically, she asked him if he has never known there was a God & has never put forth the effort to "test the theory", then how can he truly prove that there is no God? And again, I just sat there with my jaw on the ground. I love that lady!

But as each of us shared our testimonies about God and how we have come to know Him through prayer, you could literally watch his countenance change. The major turning point though was when we watched the "Hope of God's Light" mormon message with him. (/video/mormon-messages?v=3701964025001) After the video I asked him what his thoughts were as he watched it. He said that basically that guys story is exactly the same as his. So then I asked him, "Then what is the main difference between you and him at the end of his story?" He sat there for a minute thinking about it and then had a major lightbulb moment. "Happiness......he's truly happy & I'm not". Then we asked him what he needs to do then so that he can have that same happiness and he immediately replied, "Pray".

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHSLIUDSFLIUSDFYHISDJHLSDIHF At that moment my heart almost exploded out of my chest the Spirit that was in that room was SO powerful! It was amazing to see his whole countenance change as we taught him the importance of having a relationship with his Heavenly Father. He commited to pray and and according to Sis Dixon, when he says he's going to do something, he means it. It was truly an amazing experience to help someone discover the True source of happiness that will completely change his life.

I love being a Missionary and helping God's children to come back into His arms! It really is the most amazing feeling in the world. I love it with all of my heart & I love this Gospel!
