The Lord is truly blessing us. Sister Georgieva stopped this guy Chris a couple weeks ago. He had incestigated the church 25 years ago, but gave up because he did not want to stop smoking and drinking. Now he told us that his worst mistake was ever leaving the teachings of the church. We met with him the first day and gave him the Book of Mormon again. Two days later he had read Ether 12 and from the beginning to 1 Nephi 11. And he remembered everything!
On Sunday he came to church and afterwards stayed to see this eight-year-old girl be baptized. After that tears welled in his eyes as he told us that this church was as the scripture in Isaiah, as the lillies of the field. It was not arrayed in worldly splendor but it was beautiful. He wants to give up alcohol and smoking and to be baptized! He truly felt regret for leaving the gospel of Jesus Christ and it truly touched me! The spirit was so strong and I felt so blessed to see this in anyone. Truly the Lord blesses us and softens our hearts. We are never to old to repent and to change and to turn unto God without restraint.
We saw Denise and she is a blessing! She is so sweet and always focused on others! She was so excited to receive a Book of Mormon.
We have a friend Abdalla who accepted to read a chapter of the Book of Mormon, Alma 7, because he knows that it means so much to us. He then told us it was wonderful to meet people so dedicated to their religion who truly beleive in God.

Wow, I loved her thoughts today. These are treasured missionary experiences. I love the story of the man that has regrets for not choosing the gospel years ago. My father had a similar conversion story.
Thanks for sharing her thoughts!
Blessings and hugs for Ruth!
What a beautiful week!
