Hello family and friends
and Happy late 4th of July!
This week I was able to
witness a miracle on Facebook. About a month ago, a man named Zachee from
Africa asked me to be his friend on Facebook. I proceeded to message him and
share my testimony about the Book of Mormon and asked if he has ever heard of
the Book of Mormon. He then started talking about how much he loves the Bible
and after another response, he did not reply. During the huge Book of Mormon
event happening on Facebook to spread the word about the Book of Mormon across
the world, I continued to invite Zachee to these four events about the Book of
Mormon and he did attend. A day after the fourth event began, Zachee messaged
me and I asked again if he has ever read from the Book of Mormon. He then said,
"How can I get this book? Can you send it to me? I need it very much!
Thank you for getting my attention!". We are in the process of sending him
a Book of Mormon in French and Kirundi. I have no idea if the Book of Mormon is
written in Kirundi but I guess we'll find out! The Spirit is touching the
hearts of many worldwide. Thank you to all who participated in this event.
The Book of Mormon
changes my life everyday and I know it can change your life every day.
The highlight of my week
was that we had a great lesson with a woman named Christine. I love her! We
were teaching her and her husband the Restoration and when Christine was taught
about Joseph Smith's first vision, we held a picture of Joseph Smith seeing God
the Father and His son Jesus Christ. She could not peel her eyes from this
picture and the experience that she had just heard. While the lesson continued,
her caretaker walked in and sat down to hear the message we had to share. She
wanted to learn more as well. At the end Christine wanted the pamphlet to keep
and started to open it and turn the pages. I told her it had the picture of
Joseph seeing God and Jesus Christ and she said, "I know, that is what I'm
looking for."
The vision that Joseph
Smith had was a beautiful thing. He was looking for something more and he got
down on his knees to pray and find out for himself. I know that he saw Heavenly
Father and Jesus Christ on that morning in 1820. He was called to be the next
prophet to lead and guide Christ church, with Jesus Christ at the head of it,
still leading it today. God truly does answer our prayers.
As of today, we are now
biking Sisters! I cannot wait for this!
On the 4th of July, I
was on a tradeoff with my Sister Training Leader! Fireworks went off like crazy
all night long. The prettiest view that I had ever seen was when we were
driving over a huge bridge to get home. The sun was down, but there was still
light outside. Off in the distance you could see fireworks everywhere across
the water and the islands. It was beautiful. That was my 4th of July! It was
the best.
I love all of you and am
praying for you!
Love, Sister McCook
