I know the Gospel is True! - Email From Jenny March 20

I'm just going to skip to the good stuff :) We get a call on Tuesday from Nicole (she has been investigating for like 3 or 4 years) and she was in tears and super hard to understand, so we change our plans and head over to her house. We were relieved to find out nothing horrible had happened, but she was really really struggling with her marriage. She talked about all these different things that had happened that were weighing on her and were a burden, and she expressed to us that she didn't know how to move forward and honestly didn't know what to do in general. Now, Sister Bitter and I are obviously not marriage therapists, we are missionaries. However, it was amazing to see how the Gospel of Jesus Christ was the answer. We showed her a Mormon message and then talked about the Spirit. We expressed our own feelings and shared our testimonies of what the Spirit had done for us in our lives and the Spirit was thick in the room testifying of the truth of what we were saying. Nicole was in tears, I was in tears (Sister Bitter doesn't like to cry so no tears from her haha) and we were able to help Nicole refocus her life on what matters most which is Jesus Christ and filling her life with the light that comes from Him.
She called us the next day and told us she felt an overwhelming peace come over her. In her words it was "bizarre" and how that night she had the desire to be nicer to her husband and she was able have kinder feelings toward him. This was the biggest mercy for Sister Bitter and I because we were able to see some of the fruits of our efforts.
We also found a man named Stan and his son Bret who said they are looking for a new church!! That is a first for Zionsville :) Please pray for their hearts to be prepared! We also found a man from Cuba and a lady from Venezuela that are interested in hearing our message! Please pray for them to be prepared as well!!
Yesterday in my studies I felt prompted to read the book of Enos from the Book of Mormon and wow. So many spiritual gems in the first verses. Enos is honestly a story of a member's conversion. He was born in the church and had to find out whether or not the things that he had been taught were true. So he acted, he showed faith by first pondering and then praying. It is that very act that allowed him to apply the Gospel of Jesus Christ in his life and then receive forgiveness of his sins. He had so much trust in the Lord that all of his guilt was swept away. Who doesn't want that? I invite you all to study Enos if you are seeking a deeper conversion to the Lord. God won't let you down, all the answers are in His book :) 
Love you all!!

Serving with a Smile :)
