The Power of a (Member) Missionary

This week we have been focusing a lot on having members come with us
to lessons and we have had so many miracles! I am so grateful we are
all together in this work, every member has the opportunity to help
others come closer to Christ, and I have a personal testimony that
every person has a testimony meant to help someone else. Your
testimony is meant to help someone else! And it is so important that
we do everything we can to share it, and to help others do the same! I
am grateful for Sister Hess because she helped me to see our part in
helping others share their testimony!

We had a lesson planned for this week and we were going to have a
member come with us. We were so excited for this lesson! So when our
member said she had forgotten that her husband had the car and that
she would need to reschedule, I was SO bummed! But Sister Hess was
thinking straight haha! She knew that it was still important that we
try to help make it to that lesson- just a quick pause to say how
grateful I am for the technology we have been given to move this work
forward, Heavenly Father is hastening His work! Anyway, Sister Hess
decided we should ask her if she could Skype into the lesson with us,
and the member said it would absolutely work for her! And we were able
to have a member with us at a lesson, and she didn't even have to
leave the comfort of her own home:) And her testimony of the temple
and the blessings that come from being sealed in the temple was
exactly what our investigator needed, the Spirit was so strong. I know
the adversary was working hard to make that lesson not happen, but
Heavenly Father has given us all we need to fight against him. Who
would have thought a Skype call would be such an essential tool for
conversion?

I just want you all to know you have beautiful testimonies of this
Gospel that are meant to be shared! It doesn't have to be a big thing,
just skyping into a lesson for 10 minutes, sharing your testimony in
church, writing a letter, telling your family how much you love the
Gospel, or making a Facebook post could make a big difference! And I
have learned from experience how much it grows when you share it:) We
can't afford not to share our testimony! Heavenly Father needs it:)

I love you all and I am excited to hear all about your missionary
experience this week!

Love, Sister Jones
