May 2, 2011

Hello again family.  Things are going great here in the Baltimore Area.  We've been out working hard and are hoping to improve in everyway.  We've had some awesome numbers in the past weeks and they are getting better.
 
Why are there so many medical problems going on in the family right now?  Hurry up and get better everyone.  I've been checking out some of the Area's around here for you to consider and have decided that for the area around Baltimore itself that we're just going to have to hire a tour guide or two.  Fortunately I've met some here in the area.  Brother Tinker and Brother Huebner are local historians and can tell you everything about everything here.
 
This week we've been blessed to be able to begin meeting with a less active family in the area called the Dobihals.  We don't know the full story of their background, but they haven't been to church in almost 10 years.  Through the efforts of a Senior Missionary Couple in the area we've been able to discern exactly how to help them.  We found out that Sister Dobihal has been reading out of a Bible that has come to be known as The Green Dragon.  This is the Bible thats used by the Jehovas Whitnesses for those of you that don't know or haven't heard of it.  Brother Dobihal's Sister is a Jehovas Whitness that has done nothing but tear down the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints to her family and friends.  While I'd love for nothing more than to throw some of their arguments back in their faces (I found out that they've removed Verses from the Bible) I'm not able to do that.  We managed to meet with the Dobihal's on Sunday and started answering their questions and helping them realize that they need to go back to the Restoration to understand everything.  The spirit was so strong.  Their Home Teacher (Brother Huebner) who was with us bore a testimony so powerful that both of them were moved to tears.  Now we just need to get them back to church and into the Temple again.  They used to go weekly to the Temple to perform Endowments and Sealings they claim.  We also need to get rid of that Jehovas Whitness Bible.  Its doing nothing but cause problems.
 
Remember that the Restored Gospel is true.  Joseph Smith gave his life to build it up and now we need to dedicate our lives to defending it.  Why?  Because it is true.  When?  Now.  How?  With a testimony built on the Rock of our Redeemer and the Keystone of the Book of Mormon.
