Sorry i got cut off in the middle! As I was saying...... I am really grateful for this training that we had. Also this week we had a really interesting lesson with our investigator Dan. Dan has a photographic memory, and basically has the Bible memorized. And he read the entire Book of Mormon, in one week! He is so smart! So we were having our lesson and answering his questions about the Book of Mormon, and honestly we knew some, but others just could not be answered. And so that is why i decided to name my email I dont know everything, but i know enough. Because it was one of the most humbling experiences in my life to just say, "Dan, I honestly dont know, but I will tell you what i do know..." And to bear sincere simple testimony of the divinity of the Book of Mormon. I know that we are called in our weakness for a reason. One of my favorite things about President Brigham young, is that he studied the Book of Mormon and investigated the church for 2 years he says at the end of his conversion....."If all the talent, tact, wisdom, and refinement of the world had been sent to me with the Book of Mormon, and had declared, in the most exalted of earthly eloquence, the truth of it, undertaking to prove it by learning and worldly wisdom, they would have been to me like the smoke which arises only to vanish away. But when I saw a man without eloquence, or talents for public speaking, who could only say, 'I know, by the power of the Holy Ghost, that the Book of Mormon is true, that Joseph Smith is a Prophet of the Lord,' the Holy Ghost proceeding from that individual illuminated my understanding, and light, glory, and immortality were before me. I was
encircled by them, filled with them, and I knew for myself that the testimony of the man was true.... My own judgment, natural endowments, and education bowed to this simple, but mighty testimony.
I LOVE THIS STORY! Because I know that it is true that the most powerful tool that we have as missionaries is our simple testimony! Also this week we got the oppurtunity from Bishop Webb to do a member missionary Fireside the 3rd hour of church for the 5th sunday! It was great! And a lot of the members are starting to see the importance of not sleeping through the Restoration and not only maintaining the church but helping it to grow! It has been great to see the faith of the members grow! We have had 3 families come up to us and tell us that they have prayed about a name and that they are going to invite them to a family home evening and then invite us! As missionaries we cannot do it without the members! The members are so important! And i know that you all make a huge difference! Just by having a member involved, instead of baptizing 1 out of 1000 people we can baptize 640 out of 1000! so I actually wanted to give each of you the same commitment! I want to invite you all to change someones life and to be someones angel! And to pray and fast to know which friend you need to invite and tell the missionaries about them! Their is a promise that those people will thank you for the rest of their lives. They will come up and hug you in the Celestial kingdom! And i can testify that their is no greater happiness! I know that the Tams family comes from a tradition of hard work and a tradition of action! I love you all and i hope that you know that Heavenly Father has people prepared for you!!! Have a great week!
CON AMOR, Hermana Tams💜💚💙❤
