Groetjes van België! (Greetings from Belgium)
Yesterday we had a huge miracle: this guy we met on Saturday actually came to church! We just met him while walking in a park, and he said that he would come to church the next day and we agreed to meet him at the station. We called him Sunday morning and he asked what time again and then said that he would be there, but he lives in a town that is an hour bus ride away, and we weren't sure if he was just saying that he'd be there. But we went, and there he was, waiting! He said that since we met him he had been thinking about it and wanted to know what the church was all about. So he went to all three hours of church and got a French Book of Mormon (he speaks several languages reasonably well). And we set up an appointment with him. Also this week we had a super good lesson with another man who is agnostic but open, and told him that all his questions would be answered if he read and prayed about the Book of Mormon. After all, that is true.
Everything we do is centered in faith in and hope in Jesus Christ and His Atonement: "For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister. And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end: That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises. Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which entereth into that within the veil; Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus..." (Hebrews 6:10-12,19-20).
That is one of the reasons I love the Book of Mormon so much--because everything it is is also centered on Jesus Christ and His Atonement, and how through Him we can return to our Heavenly Father.
The gospel is true! Have a wonderful week!
