Miracles do happen! Even in the ritziest of places! We have been having some of the most amazing experiences talking to the people of Chevy Chase. We even had a few attend General Conference! Sister Lawrence is incredibly inspired and seems to always know the right moment to call people. She called one particular person just to invite them to see a prophet today. They came and they loved it and now they want to visit church! Today we had someone who investigated the church about a year ago call us and say that he would like to meet with the missionaries again. Wow! What an amazing thing that we don't always see the end result. When we meet with people they can feel the Spirit, it is something different and special, and they want to feel it again. It's funny how so many people misunderstand who we are or what we are trying to do. The people who are not as nice as they could be often have read or heard something very wrong about our faith. So many people say that they heard this or that... I often tell them, not everything you hear about us is true. Come and see. If people would just make a real effort of learning about and understanding who we are they would see what a force of good our faith is. How people are genuinely trying to live good, honest lives and try to always do what is right. Opposition in all things. I guess that is one of the ways I've seen that this is true, for when the greatest opposition comes the greatest truths are just around the corner. We are simply inviting people to know more truth with a surety in their hearts and showing them a way that they can feel more peace and happiness and closeness with God. It is amazing to see when that happens. It is a phenomenal thing to see the happiness that this gospel brings. To everyone, I invite you to find a way to come closer to God in your lives, I promise you won't regret it.
I love you all,
God be with you till we meet again,
Love,
Sister Gordon
