Hey y'all,
Well hello there :) I hope y'all had lots of pie... cause I sure did!
Whew!! I love this time of year... the spirit is so strong everywhere you go... family, love, thanksgiving... all those great things are the focus... and people just seem so much happier. I invite each of you to reach out to somone who isn't happy and at least give them a "hello, how are you?" and a smile. Everyone deserves to be happy and feel loved this time of year!
Quick experience... on Thanksgiving night we taught a lesson to an amazing man.... his name is Chris... and Chris has NEVER felt of Gods love in his life before... Chris is nearly 60 years old now and has never felt God in his life... however, Chris is an incredible man. He is always helping people. He loves to serve... and he has changed his life around in so many ways. Anways, we taught Chris about the Book of Mormon, Restoration, etc... and we invited him to pray at the end of the lesson. He told us that he couldn't remember exactly how to do it.... but that he'd give it a try.... Chris bowed his head and prayed... it was a simple prayer... and he couldn't remember how to end it... so he asked us, right at the end "how do I close this thing???" So we told him... "In the name of Jesus Christ, amen."... Chris bowed his head again and closed the simple and humble prayer in the name of Christ... afterwards, Chris sat there in silence for a few minutes before saying "Wow... I felt something there.... wow".
I testify to you that he felt Gods love... for the first time! And I know that each of you, as you pray in the name of Christ, can ALWAYS feel of his love too.
Love You!
