This week we hit a roadblock with an investigator with respect to a very important commandment of God, knowing that it would be very difficult for this investigator to keep . With much prayer and singing of hymns, we prepared the lesson plan, and invited the spirit. We felt the spirit guide us in the preparation and as we taught the lesson. We went into it with faith, remembering the words of the Savior before raising a young woman from the dead: "Be not afraid, only believe."
We testified to her that if she would put in her effort to keep the commandment, that God would prepare the way for her. We should not fear what will happen if we keep the commandments, because God will support and raise us up.
It's amazing how much faith grows when we read the scriptures, pray, go to church, and act on our faith. The scriptures tell us that miracles are worked by faith.
So, be not afraid, only believe.
Elder Garrett
