MISSION MIRACLE
This is Aroha who got baptised not long ago and she is in her 20's. She was a Golden Investigator! The first time we met her was at church! She went to a ward activity in which some members invited her too. At the activity she got invited to church and she said yes! She came and that Sunday she was introduced and a time was set up to be taught by the missionaries. The first time we met her she has already read through all the Gospel principles book and she went to all the church activities and even attended Mission prep. As we went through he lessons she already knew them and we committed her to read and pray about it. We also set a date. The next time that we met we followed up with her reading and praying and she just said simply. 'i know its true' without any hesitation. She is amazing at feeling the spirit and she just said she knew it was true from reading. However later on during the teaching eventually she apparently bore her testimony in a class as they were teaching prayer and she shared the amazing experience that she was praying but she didn't really feel like she got an answer, however she thought about why and she read the Moroni promise again and the 'sincere heart and real intent' part stood out to her and she realised she wasn't doing that. And so with that she prayed again, very seriously and intending on following the answer and she said she never felt the spirit so strong and she knew that it was all true. She now continues to attend mission prep jsut got her temple recommend and is planning on going to the temple. She was a member before we even started teaching. The only times we really met her was when we were teaching the lessons and the members did the rest of the work. This is how it should be. When the members participate in the work miricles like this unfold. She has an amazing conversion experience and she is loving every second and being a part of the true church on the earth today.
