Okay, short and sweet, but important.
Our investigator is preparing to be baptized this weekend,
and like every week just before the baptism it's been rough. She was anti'ed.
Hard core. Anyway, she was texting us all day, guilt tripping us and telling us
we had lied to her. Every time we sent a response we prayed before we sent it,
readjusted the wording and content of the message, and prayed again; and then on
confirmation, we sent it. At the end of the night it was at its worst. We
continued to pray... she sent us a text... and then the Lord directed us to ask
her the following question: "Is the Book of Mormon the Word of God?"
She responded, "Yes."
And then we went to bed.
This morning we got a text from her that said,
"Hey."
To which we responded, "Hi." then "Can we
meet with you today?"
Then she said something that almost made me cry out with
both joy and heartache: "Yes :( It's going to be a hard week, isn't
it?"
Here's what I've learned...When the best things are going to
happen are when the hardest times come. Satan don't kick no dead dogs, my
friends. When life gets hardest, it's because miracles are around the corner.
In that way, struggle is a miracle.
This week may be hard. This month may be hard. Who knows?
But is the Book of Mormon true? Yes.
Is Jesus the Christ?
I boldly proclaim. "He is."
And because He is, we will always be able to stand back up.
I love you all!
Rock on, peace, love, and temple marriage. In that order.
Elder Taylor J. Hill
