Today we taught Meri, our hardest investigator. She has been praying to
find out if what we have taught her is true, but says she hasn’t received an
answer yet. We’ve asked her how she has received her answers in the past, and
she said that she has seen things, like a little light, etc. Hermano Javier
came with us and he was awesome as always, but for some reason, Meri was out to
fight. She was getting mad at everything he said, and or a few minutes is
looked like there was gonna be a showdown. And we were just like, “What do we
do?” because she was almost yelling.
But Hermano Javier didn’t give in to the bait, and when there was a
small pause we started to teach. And she calmed down and listened. At the end,
we simply said, “I know it’s hard to believe. I’ve been there. I wish I could
just take out of my mind and heart what I know and give it to you, because I
see you battling to figure it all out. But that battle is an important part of
the process.”
She asked me to give the last prayer, and partway through, I felt a
very special tranquility. When I finished, Hermano Javier said, “I felt the
Spirit,” but the best part was when Meri said, “I saw a little light.” It was
the first time in all our lessons where she accepted her answer—because she
always denies the Spirit. She has been waiting and waiting for a manifestation,
and I know the Lord sent her that little light.
