Brother Wang passed his baptismal interview! He will be getting baptized on Friday. He has really come a long way and is super strong. We have been meeting with him for a little over three months and the change he has made in this journey has been inspiring. The week before I moved into this area he walked into the chapel and told the missionaries that he was lacking peace, direction, and happiness in his life and heard church was good place to find it. Three months later, after much prayer, studying of the scriptures, meeting with us, fasting, and faith, he told us he has found the peace he has been looking for. The experiences that we have had and the lessons I've learned from him have changed me immensely. It goes to show, that when a humble man looking for peace and truth searches the Book of Mormon and prays sincerely, he finds exactly what he is looking for. Brother Wang is a testimony of this, AND I AM TOO.
A few weeks ago we ran into a mother and her 11 tear old daughter on the Street. Before actually sitting down and meeting with them we invited them to attend our church service and they accepted. Last Sunday they came and absolutely loved it! Sister Chang (The Mom) started to cry during sacrament meeting because of how touched she was by the atmosphere and content of the meeting. These two LOVE the gospel and are progressing very very fastπ This past week we met with them and a mom in the ward, We shared about the Restoration of Christ's church and the reality of a God. She has been consistently reading and praying.
I have a testimony of a God who loves us. He wants us to be happy in life and has provided the perfect plan to allow us to do so. Living the teachings of Christ will bring more satisfaction and joy into your life than anything else. If I had not experienced this and continue to experience this everyday, I wouldn't be able to do this. The words "emotional comfort" are spoken often in the religious world and are a big motivation for religion. I can tell everybody reading this email, that by reading the Book of Mormon and sincerely praying to God, You will quickly realize that this religion is not only an emotional comfort but a reality. God lives and is more than willing to bless us and directly help our lives as long as we are willing to ask. Try it. I have and have witnessed many more do so as well. Life will gain so much more meaning to you, your priorities will turn towards that which is most important, you will be led away from grief and sorrow that can be avoided, and you will be happy.ππΉπΌ
