May 20th 2013


We had lots of miracles last week, but one in particular was really fun! We were knocking doors going down a street, when out of the blue one guy opened the door and invited us right in! Should have guessed it, but he was a Jehovah Witness. They tend to be really nice to us when we knock on their doors because they know what missionary work is like.
 
Anyways, this gentleman talked to us for about 45 minutes! He told us a bit about his beliefs and why he was a Jehovah Witness. I asked him if I could tell him why I was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and he said that he would love to know. We then launched into a full Restoration lesson, and we offered him a Book of Mormon along with a challenge to read and pray about it. He declined the book because he said that he knows how expensive it is to print one, but he asked for a website where he could read the Book of Mormon online! We told him about lds.org, and he said that he would try and read from the Book of Mormon and pray about it. (Not a very solid commitment, but he seems to genuinly be searching for truth so we should be able to work with him.)
 
In the introduction to the Book of Mormon we find a promise that anyone who will sinceraly read the Book of Mormon and pray about it will recieve a witness of its truth! That promise is true! After our visit the man asked Elder Nelson and myself to tell our parents that they did a good job raising us! He said "Tell them that a Jehovah Witness said that . . .that should make them happy!" The gospel is so true!

Love,
Elder Winters

They have some beautiful trees here!
