Caroling in Roi-Et

Yesterday we had an awesome experience, I decided to try out something that Evan did with his companion--inviting with hymnbooks. We met up with a member at her house, and asked her a good place to start, and she and her brother took us to an investigators house where we sang to his whole family. After which, his mom replied, "Before I didn't know why my son wanted me to take him to church so much. But now I know."

Then they referred us to another family across the street to sing to, and her son came to sing with us. They were all Catholic, but after we were done singing, while explaining our purpose, she excitedly reported, hey we have a Book of Mormon in our house! She called her son (named Bible) to go grab it and he brings out the 1st edition of the Book of Mormon, which he received when he was an investigator years ago. Come to find out, he's still interested and their family invited us back.

There's a scripture that I love, which ties this all in. It's a scripture mastery, all the way back from D&C days with Brother Brown. It reads:

"For my soul delighteth in the song of the heart; yea, the song of the righteous is a prayer unto me, and it shall be answered with a blessing upon their heads." D&C 25:12

I believe in the power of missionary work. I know this church is the true church of God and that the gospel is restored on earth. I am grateful that my brother and I can be a part of this work.

Have a great week!
