I Feel My faith Growing

Dear President and Sister Bassett,
I have been so blessed to recognize miracles that we have been experiencing in the work in these past weeks.  I feel my faith growing in that the Lord is preparing people to receive the restored gospel, and that I can live worthily so that the Spirit can teach and invite people through me.  Zone conference is coming soon for us, and we are so very excited and anxious for what we will learn there.  I wanted to share with you one of the many miracles that we saw this week, and especially because it has to do with what we will be training on during the conference.  Two days ago, we were driving to contact a referral, and I felt prompted to stop the car (I'm getting better at stopping the car).  In the area we stopped, there were a couple of potential investigators and referrals, and I thought that I was being prompted to visit a particular family, so we started heading in that direction.  On our way across the street, however, I saw a man standing outside the home of yet another referral, and went to speak with him.  It turned out to be the son of a man that we had talked with who was, let's say a little less interested.  We talked with the young man and eventually his father came outside, too.  I tried to focus on teaching and testifying of the Restoration, and they invited us into their home, "just for a little while," they said.  What then happened was incredible, because we tried to apply what we are going to be training, and tried to understand their religious background and their expectations for our visit.  We then gave a brief overview of what we were going to teach (the Restoration) and bore testimony that what we were going to share would help them, addressing specifically the doubts and questions they expressed.  The lesson was simple and powerful, and felt so happy as I felt the Spirit.  The father's attitude and questions changed, and we could feel a great difference in the atmosphere of that humble home.  All I could say after we left their house following a kneeling prayer with their son was "wow."

Thank you for all that you do.  I pray for you and for your family.  I know that you will be blessed for your tireless and selfless service.  I love you.
