Por medio de cosas pequeñas y sencillas se realizan grandes cosas




Relief Society activity

Querida Familia y amigo,

This was a great week! We were able to go to Issaquah on Tuesday to get our car fixed. It is very beautiful over there and it was a nice drive. Then on Tuesday night we had a lesson with a recent convert and his wife who is our investigator. We had invited her to pray about the message to know if it is true and when we talked to her she said that she finally had started to pray with a sincere heart, but that she did not yet want to be baptized. Then as we began teaching the lesson which was the second half of the plan of salvation it came to me that she needed to read The Book of Mormon and that it would help her testimony because she was doing basically everything else. My companion was teaching about the Spirit World and a scripture that I happened to have studied just last week came into my mind from 2 Nephi 29:11 about how we will be judged from the scriptures and that is one of the reasons that God has given us scriptures. It was my turn to teach about judgment and it was the perfect scripture. She really understood it and the importance of reading the Book of Mormon to know if it is true. I am grateful that God helped me to recognize that impression even though it was something small. At church on Sunday the gospel principles lesson was about the scriptures and she shared a comment about how important it is to read the scriptures so that we can be prepared for the second coming. She has really come a long way since her husbands baptism last year when she didn't have any interest in the church and now she goes every Sunday. She even participated in the program for the Relief Society anniversary dinner. She played the part of one of the former presidents of the Relief Society. We really love this family.

I read Mosiah 2-5 this week and I love those chapters. I hope all if going well for you.

Con amor,

Hermana Kinghorn
