School starts this week, so there is a flood of uniformed
children everywhere. It's a litte crazy.
On saturday, one of the families we are teaching had a really tough day. But when the mom went to church, it seemed like all of the testimonies were perfect for her. It reminded me of the scripture that says that "the tender mercies of the Lord are over all those whom He hath chosen, because of their faith, to make them mighty even unto the power of deliverance." It is wonderful to see the tender mercies that the Lord gives to investigators and missionaries.
One of our investigators recognized that everytime we are
talking with him about something serious, something interrupts us, be it a
phone call, the doorbell, or many other things. He told us that a matter of
days after starting to talk with us, one of his friends, who didn't know that
he was meeting with us, showed up with a bunch of anti Mormon literature. He
has recognized that Satan is fighting a tough battle against us to make sure
that the investigator does not continue with us. I pointed out that if we were
teaching false doctrine, Satan wouldn't be fighting us, because he would
already have won.
How great it is to be participating in the Lord's work,
especially during such an exciting time in the history of the world. Elder
Holland has said that the prophets of old continued in the work of the Lord,
knowing they would not succeed, because they had seen our day, and knew that we
will succeed. It is good to know that a prophet of God is guiding us to
victory, that we will not fail.
Elder Garrett
