Hey everyone!
So this week was a little slower teaching-wise. We were able to meet with some less actives, but a lot of them couldn't see us this week. We've been trying to find some new people to teach, but so far no luck. We had some good experiences tracting though! We met a Muslim guy (I love Muslims, they're the nicest people) and he taught comparative religion, or something similar to that, and talked with us for a bit about how all the religions need to work together. He took the Book of Mormon before I even offered it, and said he'd like to study it, and then said he'd give us a call when they had another inter-faith meeting, and perhaps we'd be able to share more about what we believe. I thought that was pretty cool!
So although this week was a little slower, I was able to have some great faith building moments. We were teaching the restoration to Shannon, a returning member, and the spirit was so strong. It had been a rough day, and as I was bearing my testimony of the Book of Mormon, I was just hit so strongly with the spirit. It was truly an answer to my prayers. I'm so grateful for the gospel in my life, and for the influence that the Book of Mormon has had on me. I know that the gospel is true, and I'm excited to get out this week, and work hard to share this testimony I have with people!
So for my spiritual thought, I want to share a talk that I listened to this morning. It's called "Lord I Believe" by Jeffrey R. Holland. In it, he talks about how we need to acknowledge the faith that we DO have, and not the faith that we lack. If we recognize how strong our faith is, then it is easier to grow it, rather than if we focus on what we lack. Coming to a knowledge that the gospel is true begins with a belief, or even a desire to believe. I invite you to take the 15 minutes to read or listen to this talk. It's pretty good.
Love,
Elder Moffitt
