Stories from Ruth #71

This week was interesting. We met this chinese girl named Grace who came here and is srudying music and then later that same day we met her again and her friend Benny. We ended up teaching them about God and the Book of Mormon on the bus. They felt the spirit but did not agree to meet because they are doing their masters. Grace said she will come with us to church this week. She said she feels good when people talk about Cheist and described it as magic.

We met this asian guy from Birmingham who said that most people around here probably would not listen to our message. We testified of the Book of Mormon it's divine authenticity and it's truth. In the end he felr the truth of our message and accepted a copy of the Book of Mormon which he said that he would read and pray over.

We met another guy who said he grew up a Jehovah's Witness but had left and was looking for the true church, sadly he did not have much time to talk and did not set up a return appointment, but we gave him something to read.

Mostly we would meet people that bashed us and we just shared scriptured and testified after time and time again being told were going to hell because of the Book of Mormon or being told things we believe that we actually don't. It is quite funny how little people truly know or even seek to know. When we ask them to pray they say they have said their prayers for the day and don't need to when really we are to "counsel with the Lord in all [our] doings."

I know the Book of Mormon is the word of God. It was given to Joseph Smith by an angel and was showed unto witnesses not by men but of God. I know it is God's word and I cannot deny it. The way to know is simple. It requires that one merely studies it, ponders it, and prays over it in faith Christ, with real intent, and with a sincere heart.
