We had another great experience with the first vision this last week. One of our members invited us over to have a lesson with one of their friends. Yes, it was the perfect setting. We had stopped by another member's house earlier that week (she is also friends with the investigator) and he happened to be at her house. We still directed the lesson towards her, and it worked out really well because we had felt to sing a song to her at the end of the lesson. After we sang, we looked over at Jairo (the investigator...pronounced hi-ro) and he just sat there with his eyes closed. Estella (the member) asked him if he was sleeping. He said, "No. I'm just enjoying the spirit that I feel." Then he opened his eyes and asked us to sing another hymn. We sang "Jesus, Lover of My Soul". He talked about how much he loved music because it brings the spirit, but that he hates it when it ends because the spirit leaves. We asked him, "Would you like to learn how to have the spirit with you ALL of the time?" He happily agreed.So, we returned and taught him the first lesson. We planned to sing "Joseph Smith's First Prayer" because we knew that he loved music so much. When we started the lesson, he was very receptive. When we got to Joseph Smith, he said that he had asked his pastor about him and then started to list off all the doubts that people have about him as a prophet. I thought for a second (it was one of those awkward silence moments) and told him that we could answer his questions, but that the best way for him to know would be through the spirit. So we told him the story of the first vision. It was a really good thing we had planned the song, because in the middle of quoting Joseph Smith's words we were interrupted by the other member coming into the apartment with her 3-yr.-old son. It's interesting to see how much we get interrupted at that exact point in the lesson. Anyway, we got his attention back on focus and told him to pay attention to how he felt while we sang the song. We started singing and I don't think I've ever prayed so hard in my life that he would feel the spirit witnessing to him about Joseph Smith. After we finished, I asked him how he felt. He said, "I feel...like I've received revelation." I asked if he would like to share what he learned and he explained that he was thinking about all that the pastor had told him about Joseph Smith. "Then," he said,"I thought about the scripture that says 'by their fruits ye shall know them.' This pastor has only managed to build up a membership of about 30 people in his church. But all the good that has come from Joseph Smith is bigger than anything I've ever seen." So then I asked him, "Do you believe that Joseph Smith was a prophet?" Without hesitation, he replied, "Yes."I know that when we teach about Joseph Smith and the restoration, it doesn't matter what the doubt of the investigator is. Every doubt is based in that one experience. Once the investigator understands that the spirit is testifying of the truthfulness of the restoration, nothing else matters. When we explained to Jairo about the Book of Mormon after the song and his testimony, he was almost trying to take the book out of my hands before we could write our names and number in it. He was HUNGRY to read it. It was so amazing!This church is true. Joseph Smith really was a prophet called of God. And the Book of Mormon truly is another testament of Jesus Christ.
