Hello, Everyone!! :)
This week was a quick one, yet one that was filled with the Lord
guiding His work! We have seen quite a few blessings this week and
have been praying fervently for a few more.
Earlier this week, we were knocking down in our new favorite area to
knock—Fresh Meadows. It seems that God has been preparing that place
for us! One of the days we were down there, we were getting rejected
over and over and over again. We weren’t able to find anyone who was
interested in the gospel. However, we were able to set a very loose
return appointment with a man named Igbod. He and his family are
Muslim and claimed to know everything about every religion. We asked
him at the door if he had every heard of the Book of Mormon. He said
he hadn’t and that we could come back over on Saturday to tell him
more about it. Well, we went back on Saturday, and he let us in! We
sat down at the kitchen table with Igbod, his wife, and his two
daughters. They were FULL of questions! It was such an amazing lesson
teaching them about the nature of God and His Son, Jesus Christ. We
taught them how Christ restored His church in these last days through
the Prophet, Joseph Smith. The Spirit was really strong as we all
testified and shared scriptures from the Book of Mormon. The entire
family agreed to read the Book of Mormon and pray to know if it is
true. Miracles!!
Another miracle from this week was also over the weekend! Backing up
just a bit: General Conference a couple weeks ago proved to answer
MANY of my questions I have been asking God. One talk in particular
that gave me very direct answers was the talk given by Elder Larry Y.
Wilson of the Seventy. Now, here is the miracle. Elder Wilson was
assigned to preside at our stake conference this past weekend!!!! It
was amazing to sit at his feet and feel of the Spirit as his spoke and
taught the Lynbrook Stake. I know that he was called of God. Another
cool thing about stake conference was those who attended the
conference! We had just about every country in the world represented
in that meeting! China, Korean, many Spanish speaking countries,
Africa, the isles of the sea, etc. It was incredible!!!! Wow, I love
NY!
Anyway, I have procrastinated writing this email a little bit today.
So, I have to wrap it up here. I love you all! Thanks for being you
and remember that you are a child of a loving Father in Heaven!
Love ya!
Elder Snell
