Dear Family,
I had a
great week full of miracles! Yesterday
for example, one of our investigators tried to drop us. We felt inspired that we needed to see him
since he didn't show up to church. We
stopped by and right as we sat down he bluntly said that he didn't want to go
to church or meet with us anymore. My
initial instinct was to doctrinally throw down and prove him that he would be a
fool to drop us. But I suppressed that
feeling and patiently asked a questions so we could identify the source of the
sudden problem. After a long
conversation and finally finding out his reasons, Elder Hatch and I bore simple
and plain testimony and strongly stated that this is the only true church. We felt the spirit strongly testify through
us to him as his heart was prompted to change.
We are supposed to meet with him again today, so hopefully we can get
him back on track.
We also got
to go fishing with another investigator this week. He is married to a member and he comes to
church, but won't join for some reason. He has a super nice fishing pond
in front of his house, and he invited us to come fishing with him
sometime. So we fished for a little
while until it got dark, and of course I caught the most fish. We put our poles down and just had a really
good heart to heart to with him. He
really opened up to us and we committed him to read the Book of Mormon
daily. He said he wants to find the
truth and he wants to understand why his wife believes what she does.
I love you
all so much!
Love,
Elder
Hinrichs
