Teaching Opportunity 1.5.15

Well, this week done did fly by quick like<--- Ha silly me!

I bet you guys had a blast in the nice weather for a while in Cali!! That looked fun! Hope we didn’t have car probs or get robbed this time! Ha!

But for real, there is so much that happened and I don’t have near enough time to start writing about them. Needless to say, The Book of Mormon is true and, therefore, this church is the only true church on earth. We have a prophet that leads and guides us through this world at this time and warns us of what is about to happen and how to prepare.    

The more I read and learn, the more I know this is the only thing that can be true! It is the only church that make complete sense!

But this week we were able to meet Charlie. He is 85 years old and lives in in MI. He came down to stay with his cousins for a few days. (His cousins are members.) The members invited us to come over to lunch with Charlie and them. We did. And we had a great lunch and set up a time to come back. We came by the following Saturday and went on a walk with him. (He loves to walk.) After about 30 min. we came in and started talking about the gospel and introduced the Book Of Mormon to him. He was super thankful for what we had given him. We invited him to come to church the next day. He came and loved it. He was super thankful for all the people that came and said hello to him and welcomed him. We met with him that night, and the first thing he said was, "Open up your Mormon Bible and read me your favorite passages." So we read in Alma a little about faith, and when it came to my turn I flipped to 3rd Nephi 11. And we started reading that. When we got to around verse 17, we stopped and started talking. He was so overwhelmed and grateful that he started crying. The spirit was amazing. He said he just needed some time to pray and gain his own testimony. The only sad thing is that he is going back to MI on Tuesday, but wants to meet with missionaries there. The Lord prepares people that are willing to listen and wants to know the truth. To any honest seeker of truth this gospel with answer any question that you may have!

Well, that is a little of how my week has been!

Love you all,

Elder Dawes
