Teaching with the Missionaries

This evening, the missionaries in town for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints called me up and asked if I could come with them to a teaching appointment this evening. I had given them my number a couple weeks ago and told them I was available to go visiting with them this summer. Tonight, we visited with a really great family that wanted to learn more about what God wanted them to do. We talked about Jesus Christ and the church He established in ancient and modern days. The missionaries invited the family to pray together, to read and ponder the Book of Mormon, and come to church on Sunday. It was a really good visit. The family asked good, sincere questions, and God blessed everyone in the home with the influence of the Spirit tonight. I am so glad I came out with the missionaries today. It brought back memories of my time as a full-time missionary over a year ago, and it was a blessing to see this good family express that desire to develop a stronger relationship with their Heavenly Father.

So, what am I grateful for today? The edifying experience of accompanying the missionaries in a good, successful teaching visit.
