Help Trough Faith

Hello Everyone,

This week the work has started to pick up here in Winston and Green. Elder Smith and I redoubled our efforts in tracting and contacting our investigators, as well as started to try to reach out to the ward more for referrals and help in the work.  Rather than go through day by day I will share a couple experiences.

First, on Tuesday as we were tracting a series of homes on a steep hill, we ran into one lady who was a former.  She was very nice and really seemed different from the rest of the doors we  had knocked on. She has had a deep history with church members already and really wants to learn, despite a move that will soon take place and the demand of her kids who have special needs.  We will not teach her long, but she was the one we found while tracting and it was a miracle.

The following Thursday we got to teach Rennie who is battling word of wisdom problems, as well as faith in tithing.  While talking, however, she told us that she can not leave the light she has already found and she came to church Sunday despite her own doubts.  Faith has the ability to really help anyone past any concern, if they have a desire to believe.  The largest event to happen though was when we taught a different lady on Friday.  She is practically a "dry Mormon" and has many friends and family who are already part of the church.  Over the course of the lesson she accepted the invitation to baptism in April and was excited to have a baptism that would "last through eternity".  She is awesome and I look forward to seeing what happens.

Thank you for all of the support and happy Valentines Day!
