Hello everyone! What an amazing week! My older brother made it home safely! 🏡 I sure love my family!!
We went to visit an inactive member of about 3 years. We wanted to see how he was doing, get to know him, and share a message. When we got to his home he welcomed us inside, he offered us water and we politely accepted because we were thirsty 💧. He told us that we needed to start with a song. Kinda weird but we said okay! We sang hymn number 284 (If you could Hie to Kolob) it really brought the Spirit! We started talking and he wanted to play the devils advocate in everything we shared.
We were totally fine with it because we were just going to share scriptures that backed up the principles we wanted to teach. It was a very calm environment. After it was over we said a closing prayer and invited him to read the scriptures and pray daily for the next 2 weeks. He agreed and we didn't think anything of it again.
On Sunday to our great surprise, him and his wife were at church for the first time in about 3 years! We were so happy and so were the members. After the meeting ended they stayed for another 10-15 minutes just talking with people because they hadn't seen them in so long!
I sure love this gospel and the basic principles that makes it work. The Spirit of God testifies of truth and of correct principles. If we listen to that Spirit we will NEVER go the wrong way 😇
You guys are so amazing and I love you all. My savior lives and He directs this church throughout all the world.
Love,
Elder Ricks
