Teaching in Thailand
Sister Rung this last week came into
a lesson and was telling us how she was just having a really hard time. She was
telling us about how her mother wasn’t accepting of her and this and that. It
was really hard to listen to because she deserves better. She was just crying
and I had a thought. I grabbed a few hymn books and told her that we would sing
two songs. I knew that singing would help us say things that are hard to say.
We sang, Let the Holy Spirit Guide
and then I Need Thee Every Hour. The
spirit was so strong! You could feel it so powerfully! After we sang and said a
prayer she said that she was felt so much better! 3 days later we met with her
again and ended up singing a song before we ended the lesson by singing The Spirit of God. It was just like the
other day, so powerful! I challenge you that if you are stuck with a
investigator to sing a song with them. It has really helped us and our
investigators a lot!
Brother Tong had still not prayed
about Joseph Smith. He said he didn’t know how Heavenly Father would answer
him. We have told him so many times that the Holy Ghost would answer your
prayer in a way that you'll understand. In the middle of the lesson he
asked," Can I pray and ask right now?" Well yes of course you can. He
prayed right then and after about 2 minutes of silence he got his answer that
Joseph Smith was true. He's getting baptized on June 12th!
