A little story

So, Austin has been gone for a month now. I can't believe it. Since he has been in the MTC he had to have knee surgery. My parents have got to see him four times since they first said goodbye. I think that that would be the hardest. He is doing well, and is cleared to go to Peru. He was supposed to leave the 15th of April, but he wont be leaving until Tuesday, which is tommorrow. He sent me a letter that I wan't to share. He talks about how having a mission companion is a love/hate relationship. He then proceeds to tell me how jealous I am going to be because Jeffery R. Holland went to the MTC to speak. Here is the story that Elder Holland told them, about Elder Toronto in Czech Republic. The Elders were going door to door adn they went to this one house and the lady was mean and slammed the door in their faces. The missionaries were persistant and knocked again. The woman answered and the missionaires told her that they didn't need to be treated that way adn that they had prayed this morning and they knew they needed to be there. The woman then asked if they were ministers? When they answered yeS she told them she wanted nothing to do with religion. The missionaries asked her why and she replied, "My husband died in the war, leaving me with a child to take care of by myself, and then my child 3 years old died." The woman broken hearted went to her pastor/minister for comfort and the preist said, " I've never seen you in my church before, and now you come to me when you're in despair. YOur child is in Hell and your going too because you didn't get her baptised. GET OUT!" The woman then asked the missionaries if that is what they wanted to know, and told them to get off her porch. Elder Toronto told her, "I know where your daughter is" The woman stopped dead in her tracks, and the missionaires pulled out Moroni 8 which talks about children adn baptism. Thank you Austin, for sharing this stroy.
