Dear, Family
Well this week has been alright. We have had 4 investigators drop us so that is always challenging. It's been super hard to see the investigators we are teaching as well. But this week we had a really big scare with our investigator John his date is for the 5th of March but when we saw him at the beginning of the week the Adversary was really working on him trying to get him to drop the date we spent about 2 hours trying to help him to overcome his concerns, but when we left he was dead set on not being baptized and we told him to Pray and Ask god especially with his concerns On the Temple Garment, Testimony of Joseph Smith, Tithing, and Need for Baptism. I must be honest my faith was weak I didn't think that he would be humble enough to receive an answer. But we fasted as a companionship Praying that His heart would be softened and that he would receive comfort with his concerns. When we saw him yesterday he had told us that God answered his prayers by helping him so see a comparison in his life with seeing a spirit and with what Joseph Smith saw and he explained that if he wanted others to believe him they would have to in faith, so what he came to was that he needed to believe in faith with the reality of what Joseph Smith saw. Nothing we had said or did would have helped him to overcome this problem but I know with Divine direction from the spirit that his concern about Believing in faith was answered and we then were able to teach POS and help him to understand the need for Baptism. He still is a bit unsure with tithing and the Temple Garment but they set up an appt. with Branch President to discuss those concerns but been a bit of a hard week with a happy ending in a way. I know that the Lord if we are obedient, full of faith, and repentant he will help us and the Grace of God will Lift us.
Love,
Elder S.Johnson
