These are the experiences that President Anderson shared in his letter to the missionaries this week…<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n “Isn\u00c3\u00a2\u00c2\u20ac\u00c2\u2122t it wonderful to know as representatives of Christ, especially this time of year, that we are bringing precious souls to Him. Giving these souls the opportunity of Eternal Life is\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0\u00c3\u00a2\u00c2\u20ac\u00c2\u0153the most desirable above all things\u00c3\u00a2\u00c2\u20ac\u00c2\u009d. Just as the Angels gave the vision to Nephi and later announced the birth of Christ to the World, we are Angels to those who are looking for Christ: \u00c3\u00a2\u00c2\u20ac\u00c2\u0153We were harvesting because some appointments fell through. We got a few doors slammed in our faces and so on. Then we said a prayer with this lady … She\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0was about to cry, we testified of the Spirit and invited her, she accepted a date and to come to church, and she told us that she received revelation that week saying that two angels would come to her door, and boom here we are!!\u00c3\u00a2\u00c2\u20ac\u00c2\u009d Angels of Christ who have been sent to help them on the right path: \u00c3\u00a2\u00c2\u20ac\u00c2\u0153We Harvested a woman named Janet, who after the prayer, said, \u00c3\u00a2\u00c2\u20ac\u00c2\u02dcYou know those Christmas movies that always have angels in them? The ones God sends to change people? I know that you two is my Christmas Angels.\u00c3\u00a2\u00c2\u20ac\u00c2\u2122 \u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0We invited her to be baptized. She said, \u00c3\u00a2\u00c2\u20ac\u00c2\u02dcThe Holy Spirit is here. \u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0He’s been whispering to me that it’s time for a big change for days now – I just didn’t know how it was gon’ come.\u00c3\u00a2\u00c2\u20ac\u00c2\u2122 \u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0She accepted baptism too.\u00c3\u00a2\u00c2\u20ac\u00c2\u009d Angels who bring the truth to those who may not see with their eyes, but see with their hearts: \u00c3\u00a2\u00c2\u20ac\u00c2\u0153We went harvesting and found a man, Marshall, who is legally blind and practically had the word elect stamped on his forehead\u00c3\u00a2\u00c2\u20ac\u00c2\u00a6 We prayed for him and then asked him who he knew that needed a blessing. \u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0He pointed to his neighbor and then we asked him to accompany us to bless them. \u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0We knocked on his\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0neighbor\u00c3\u00a2\u00c2\u20ac\u00c2\u2122s\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0door and when we talked to them, they first tried to shut the door on us. \u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0But then Marshall chimed in and said that we just wanted to pray for them. \u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0They reluctantly let us in and we knelt down to pray. \u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0The spirit entered the room and I was grateful for the blessings that exact obedience brings. \u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0It was awesome. \u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0Marshall is blind, so it was very difficult for him to leave his house. \u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0But he knew the importance of the spirit that the harvest blessing brings, so of course he wanted to share it with his neighbors. \u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0After the prayer, we helped him back to his house and continued to teach. \u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0He came to church yesterday and he’s getting baptized next week.\u00c3\u00a2\u00c2\u20ac\u00c2\u009d <\/span>Our gift to others is the \u00c3\u00a2\u00c2\u20ac\u00c2\u0153Gift of Christ\u00c3\u00a2\u00c2\u20ac\u00c2\u009d. As his representatives, we can give this gift to all those elect who are prepared to receive his Angels. Those Angels are you, the elect are those that receive you, and \u00c3\u00a2\u00c2\u20ac\u00c2\u0153The Gift of Christ\u00c3\u00a2\u00c2\u20ac\u00c2\u009d is the \u00c3\u00a2\u00c2\u20ac\u00c2\u0153priceless gift of joy\u00c3\u00a2\u00c2\u20ac\u00c2\u009d that Christ can give with His Gospel.”<\/span><\/p>\n
