We set an appointment with Cinnamon and brought a member to the lesson. It was such a good lesson. This time her mom was present, and Cinnamon was so excited for her mom to hear the First Vision. She was just as astonished the first time we shared it with her. We taught them out of their own bible, which is the way to do it down here in the South. So many people down here know some truth, the Catholics, the Baptists, the Methodists they all have/teach some truth and they are all such good people. But a lot of times they feel they're missing something, and it makes me sad. We've run into a lot of people this week who told us they will never see their children again after this life, or there wife, or there mom, and that's how they were raised, some won't accept the fact that we will be able to, because they were taught that all their life by preachers. When we taught Cinnamon from her bible, Matthew 16:19, because the priesthood has been restored on the Earth again today, marriages can be for time and all Eternity, Families can be together forever, by the authority of God not only is it bound on Earth but in Heaven also will it be bound, she wanted that more than anything. She longed for that all her life.
Another similar experience we had this week, we were teaching a family. Samantha and Jay, and three little children 9 being the oldest. We tracted into Samantha quite a while ago and she committed to come to church on June 11 because she has some kickball thing every Sunday, but we taught her the Restoration. She was raised Catholic, but stopped going because she felt like something was missing. When we shared the First Vision with her she was at tears and could not speak. She managed to say she longs for what we have. We just sat in silence and just let the spirit take over, bore our testimonies, and concluded with a prayer.
Anyways, I know that true happiness comes by living the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
I've got to be in Shalotte now, we are about to go fish.
Hope yall have a great week!
