The Errand of Angels Page #4

You're a great missionary,

Sister Taylor.

Thank you.

I just hope to work

with you again some day.

I really like Christine.

You should teach

her the lessons.

I hope everything goes well

with Fritz and his family.

Charity is the pure love of Christ.

To truly love someone

means to see them

through the eyes of the Savior.

I created this picture

of Sister Keller

without knowing

anything about her.

I don't know why she

became a member of the church,

why she's on a mission right now,

or how Christ has touched her life.

But I know the Lord knows,

and he wants me to know as well.

Sister Young says "hi."

She asked me to bring you this.

The pictures

are from Sister Zahn.

She speaks very highly of you.

Thank you.

It came to me that

I hadn't seen Sister Keller

receive a single letter

while I was with her.

How could I have missed that?

Once I started to look at her

with love and respect,

Sister Keller turned

into a different person.

I found that

when she joined the church,

her family broke off

all contact with her.

And although Sister Keller

did many things differently,

she touched people's lives

with her unique testimony.

I only spoke German

for the rest of my time

with Sister Keller,

and it really did improve

quite a bit.

I never really understood

why Sister Keller collected rocks,

but I learned

what makes a rock collectible.

'Cause even though they seem

to look the same,

it's the fine nuances that count.

We thank thee for this day...

and that we can serve together

here in Vienna.

In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.

Amen.

I accepted her slower pace

and tried my best to follow her lead,

and that made all the difference.

Whenever I return

to the old Jewish cemetery,

I am reminded of the woman

who answered my prayer.

The Lord took me on a journey

to really understand

the power of the Atonement,

not just for myself,

but for those

I struggle with as well.

The King shall answer

and say unto them,

Verily I say unto you,

Inasmuch as ye have done it...

unto one of the least

of these my brethren,

ye have done it unto me.

I looked at her

and finally understood.

It's through the "least of these"

that we come closest to the Savior,

and Sister Keller was one of

the "least of these" for me.

The Church of Jesus Christ

of Latter-day Saints.

This is Sister Keller.

Hello, Elder Johnson.

Okay.

Really?

No, no.

I'm sure she'll like that.

Thank you. Bye.

What did he say?

Transfer.

You're going to Salzburg.

Salzburg? Really?

I mean, wirklich?

To work with Sister...Young.

No way.

That's so cool.

I mean, I wish I could stay here

a little longer,

now that we're getting along

and all...

you know what I mean...

It's alright.

I know you're excited.

I would be too.

Thank you so much.

I'm a better person

because of you.

And my German is better, too.

So, how have things been,

you know, without me?

Well, it was rough,

but I managed.

Yeah?

How is Fritz and his family?

They're good.

They're still golden.

We met with them

a couple of times.

And, in honor of your arrival,

we'll meet again this evening.

That's awesome!

What about Christine?

Well, we finally asked her

to listen to the lessons,

and we've met her a few times

before she got really busy.

But, in honor of your arrival,

we'll meet her this afternoon.

You know, I kinda like

this whole honored arrival thing.

There's 6 billion people

on this earth today.

How can God communicate

with all of them?

Why would he care about me?

Well, that's what's

so amazing about the gospel.

The Lord speaks

to each of his children

in a very personal manner

through the Holy Ghost.

That's how we know

that he cares and loves us,

even when life's difficult.

That's right.

We share what we know

and invite you

to ask God through prayer

if these things are true.

And you will know

in your heart if they are.

It's really just between

you and the Lord.

Okay.

Can you tell us how you

see your relationship with God?

God is our Heavenly Father.

We are His children.

That makes us all

brothers and sisters.

That's why we call each other

in church "Brother" and "Sister."

Can we call you Brother Zimmer

and Sister Zimmer?

Of course.

But what does it mean

to be a child of God?

We believe that through Jesus Christ

we can return to our Heavenly Father...

and live with him forever.

As his children,

He wants us

to become more like him.

That's why we're here;

we can learn...

and grow under his loving guidance.

That's very similar

to what we believe.

Brother and Sister Zimmer,

will you read the

Book of Mormon and pray to find out

if it is another testament

of Jesus Christ?

-Yes.

-Yes.

Will you continue

to develop faith in Jesus Christ

by learning more

about the gospel?

May we set a time

for our next visit?

Yes.

Will you pray to know

that Joseph Smith was a prophet?

Will you come to church

with us this Sunday?

Yes.

Wow, what a month!

I haven't taught this much

my entire mission!

We already have...

appointments next week.

That's like South America.

What?

It's from the office.

What does it say?

It's from President Smith.

Dear Sister Young

and Sister Taylor,

I wanted

to personally congratulate you

for teaching 11 discussions

last week.

I know this is the result

of hard work and dedication.

I send you my love

and my prayers

and thank you for showing

all of us that it can be done!

Sincerely, President Smith.

Wow! How nice is that!

I want to get

one of those every week.

Me too.

Were you able to read

in the Book of Mormon?

Yes, I read quite a bit.

I felt it is very inspiring...

and contains a lot of truth.

Thank you for sharing

the book with us.

Joseph Smith is such

a fascinating character...

who had to go through a lot.

Do you believe he was

a prophet of God?

Definitely.

He was so young when

he translated the Book of Mormon.

No doubt,

he was a very enlightened person.

Brother and Sister Zimmer,

knowing what you know

about the Book of Mormon

and Joseph Smith,

will you follow the example

of Jesus Christ...

and be baptized in his church?

We really appreciate your invitation,

but we already practice

our own belief.

I don't understand.

You said you know

the Book of Mormon is true...

and Joseph Smith was a prophet.

Yes, but God speaks to many people

and reveals truth to them.

Everyone who listens

can be a prophet,

and there are many books

that contain the word of God.

We are really interested

in your religion

and the dedication

you have for your faith.

And you are always

welcome in our home.

They love the Book of Mormon.

They believe Joseph Smith

was a prophet.

They know it's true

and they're still not interested.

What can you say to that?

It totally threw me off.

This has been a really bad week.

I just hope Christine is home.

Me too.

Sisters.

I totally forgot you were coming.

I'm so glad you're home.

We've been looking forward

to seeing you all week.
