I wanted to share a wonderful story about Dennis Minks who was baptized on Saturday. He and his wife have been married for 37 years and he has never even stepped in an LDS church before. We began to teach them and he began to read the Book of Mormon. i have such a strong testimony in that book, it really changes lives. He began to love it and couldnt seem to put it down. every time we came over he would have a bunch of new markers in his book. it was so neat to see him change. But he still had some questions.At the end of his baptism he shared his experience on how he found his answer. he said that one day he was walking his dog and he decided to ask God if these things were true. he ask 3 questions. First is Joseph Smith was a prophet of God, nest if the Book of Mormon was a true book and one other which i dont know. he said that following the close of his prayer he had an amazing feeling come over him, then it would leave and come again. it did this three times, one for each of his questions. he knew then that he could no longer deny that he knew this gospel was true.
i love that story with all my heart. the spirit is real. it teaches truth to the humble seekers of truth.
i love you all.
love sister conover
