Powerful Stuff

Throwback to Port Charlotte.
Elder Jorgensen, Hunter, and Elder Griffiths.

I'm grateful that God is the one who does pretty much all the work in the conversion process. I'm not nearly smart enough to do it. 

We've been teaching someone who can't decide if she's really interested in being baptized. We've been pulling our hair out trying to figure out how to help her. On Sunday we talked about charity in our Sunday School class and we watched a video about service. The video brought tears to our investigator's eyes because it hit home to some problems she'd had in her own life. We had no idea about any of those problems, but through the Spirit she was able to feel that God was aware of her and was trying to speak to her. 

That kind of a powerful experience doesn't come from some sort of intellectual persuasion on my part. It only comes when the Holy Ghost speaks to her soul and testifies of the truth to her. There's no way for any mortal man to replicate that feeling or produce it by himself. I'm grateful to see God's hand in this work and to see the power He has to bring His children back to Him.
