THE GOSPEL CHANGES LIVES!!!!!!!!!!!

So first off....HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TO MY WONDERFUL DADDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I LOVE YOU TO PIECES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now for some exciting news!

WE HAVE A MIRACLE!
We're teaching this guy named Brandon, kay?
He's been in jail before.

Lives in Flint.

Has an expensive car.

Has expensive shoes.

Has an expensive hair cut.

He really likes nice things.

He's an interesting guy.

He cusses like a sailor and smokes like a chimney.

Seriously, he uses the F word just as much as he uses the word "the".

He's cool.

He's come to church and for the longest time he would not pray.

But guess what.

HE PRAYS NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AND he didn't come to church because he went out to the bar Saturday night, but we saw him last night and he felt guilty for not coming to church!

He hasn't been reading the Book of Mormon, but he feels so guilty about not coming to church that he was planning on reading the Introduction!
OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Brandon I met 9 weeks ago wouldn't pray, read, or feel guilty about missing church.

For a while, I wasn't sure he would change, but the gospel is changing him!

It's so amazing to see the gospel change lives!

I also want you all to know how powerful you member missionaries are!
We brought an 18 year old in the ward with us to a lesson and she was so perfect!
She read up on the lesson in Preach My Gospel before we went.

She bore a powerful testimony of how living the Gospel blesses our lives.

AND she promised Gavin blessings.

We didn't even have to ask her to do all that.

She brought the Spirit to the lesson in a way we couldn't. 

We need all members to be prepared to go out with the missionaries.

YOU ARE VITAL TO THIS WORK!

The work of Salvation is NOT possible without every single one of you.

Sure, I wear the name tag, and teach lessons, but you can do so much more.

I love this work. 

I know that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is Christ's church restored to the earth.

I know this because I have received personal revelation through prayer.

The Holy Spirit has testified to my heart that this is true.

You can know it too, by diligent scripture study, prayer and church attendance (meeting with the missionaries helps too :))

Gensis 5:22-23

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering,gentleness, goodness, faith,

23 Meekness, temperance

Have a good week.

I love you all!!!

Love,
Sister Heywood
