Sister Missionary Study

Morning Glory,
Today I was blessed with the opportunity to sit in on a discussion with the Sister Missionaries.  You made it even better by asking to come with us!

The older gentleman they were teaching was so kind and inviting.  He was filled with intelligent questions that come from years of experience and pondering.  It was so wonderful to see the happiness light up the older gentleman's face as they answered his questions about where we go after we die and where we came from before we were born on this earth. He was so happy to know that Jesus Christ had provided a way for him to see his wife, who had died 15 years previously, again. He closed our time together with a humble prayer of thanks to God for sending those special young women to help him when he was really needing the comfort of knowledge which they were sharing with him.

   It was also so special to watch you light up as you watched the sisters use simple visuals in their teaching that are similar to the ones Dad still has from when he went on his mission.  You were so careful to be polite and quiet and attentive and you responded at once when asked to help teach about Adam and Eve as the first man and woman on this earth and what happened to them when they decided to eat some of the "forbidden fruit."  I loved your smile and little bounce of joy as you quietly whispered to me,  "I know that one!"as the sisters were reading some verses from the Book of Mormon and came to 2 Nephi 2:25: "Adam fell that men might be; and men are, that they might have joy."

I love knowing where I came from and where I am going; being able to help in sharing that message is even better; and the best is seeing that knowledge brighten the countenance of my own daughter.  Thank you so much for volunteering to come with us and for sharing your knowledge of the truth.

I love being your mom!  And I love being your big sister in Heavenly Father's family too!

Love,
Mom
