Many Ways

This work is led by the Holy Ghost who is preparing people to hear this happy message and I'm here today to tell you about some of the ways the Holy Ghost has prepared people:


On Sunday we had a surprise lesson with a lady named Sophie! She has come to church three times and last time I was able to give her a Book of Mormon! In this lesson we were able to hear her background! It all started with a test! She was a college student and therefore was tired (辛苦你們）she did the test really fast and then fell asleep! Which in turn made her miss the whole back page! She failed the test. Was kicked out of the school. And as a result went to a Catholic college instead! There she learned about Jesus and her heart was softened! But due to circumstances she was not truly converted and in her words was just waiting for the right time! Well the right time came and Sophie and the failed test are a miracle!


Imagine this: you see a girl and she's about your age and the spirit tells you to go talk to her! So you follow but she's walking fast so you're speed walking to the best of your ability as you try to catch up to her normally! And then you do!! And she's not interested :(

 but right by where you stop there's this younger guy and you talk to him! And he agrees to set up!! He doesn’t live in your area but he agrees to do a chapel tour with the missionaries from where he's from! Yeah that was a cool experience


And then while we were talking about how cool the spirit is a lady walked past and we talked to her! She has been a Christian for 7 years because when she found out she had cancer her aunts pleadings to come to church got through to her! And since then she has read the bible 7 times!! And she was very willing to read the Book of Mormon!! 


"Thus we see that the Lord worketh in many ways to the salvation of his people" (Alma 24:27)


I testify this is true! And we all have different experiences that have brought us to God! A spiritual timeline! Something our mission president has invited us to do is write them down! So I want to extend to you that same invitation! And you will see the many ways God has manifest in your life to your Salvation!


He loves you and so do I!!!

  Happy Tuesday morning!! ☀️☀️ it’s a lovely day so far:) Ok! So here’s an experience I have been feeling like I want to share with you all: Maybe a week ago? Ish? I was in the temple for to do initiatories. I can’t remember if I had an appointment or I was just walking in… I think I was just walking in.  The PCC temple has a really good system for helping people who walk in w/out an appointment be able to do initiatories. However after they got my name and all that jazz they asked me to sit in the front area where the desk is instead of in the back near the booths bc the benches back there were full. This was sorta upsetting to me, I had gone that day really hoping to be able to feel the spirit. But being up there near the desk meant I had to try and tune out all the happenings and chatting there. Recently I’ve discovered that when I’m anxious I can get pretty sound sensitive. So if there’s any noise going on it can completely overwhelm me with anxious thoughts.  I start...
