John 10:27 My sheep hear
my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
Another incredible week. It started at
church last Sunday. After the Sacrament meeting, we were approached by both
counselors in the bishopric. Each had an investigator standing beside them for
us to teach. One of them, named Sandra, said she wanted to be baptized. We went
to her house the next day to teach her, but she needed little teaching. She had
already heard clearly the voice of the Savior through her brother, a recently
returned missionary and up until now the only member in his family. We asked
her a question and she taught us the lesson. Intelligent and well educated, she
talked of feelings that she had and that she knew what we said was true. We
were talking to a spirit sister, someone who was willing do whatever it takes
to follow His voice. We will be baptizing her on the twelfth.
The next day while Chrise and I were
working alone in the mission office. The bell at the front gate sounded. I went
out to discover a teenage girl, looking kind of lost. She asked if she could
come in. I left her alone for a couple of minutes in the reception area reading a Liahona and then went to talk her.
She knew little about the Church and hadn’t even heard the name Mormon, but she
had been guided to our front gate. She wanted to know who we were. I talked
with her about the Restoration and then showed here the movie on the Joseph
Smith Story. After watching the movie and hearing my testimony, she ask some
incredible questions, and then said she really wanted to know more. I called
the sisters in the area where she lives and had them talk to her and set up an appointment.
Another one of the Lord’s sheep heard him calling.
The truth of what we teach fills me,
burns in my heart and fills me with joy. It is the Lord’s prescription for our
troubled world. I’m just an ordinary member of His Church, nothing great, not a
mission president, or a bishop or a stake president, but how wonderful it is to
serve him and see how he cares for his sheep.
