Every once in a while there is an odd comment but it is worth it to have the spiritual feast that takes place most of the time. What another wonderful blessing of the gospel.

Thank you for sharing that sometimes a testimony is gained bit by bit, not all at once.

It reminds me that finding truth isn’t easy and doesn’t always come on the first try. Your family is adorable.

My brother has been inactive for at least five years and has been dating the same girl for about 2 years during that time. Just knowing that my brother had some kind of religious background made his girlfriend interested in learning more. Last month, my brother’s girlfriend and her mother were baptized. My brother is taking baby steps into reactivity. What a blessing the Gospel and a girlfriend have been to my family.

I also appreciated your honesty about not feeling much the first time you heard the discussions. I hope others read that and think, “Hey, maybe I should give the missionaries another chance too.”

Thanks for writing this.
