Our week was really interesting. We had a lot of good things happen. We have 4 friends who are really increasing their knowledge and faith of the restored truths of Christ's gospel. One of them will be getting baptized this Saturday. His name is Tomasz and has a really amazing story which he said I could share.
20 years ago he went through a pretty rough divorce where he found out that his wife was cheating on him. In the result of the divorce he felt alone and completely abandoned. He recalled to us today an experience he had shortly after his divorce. He had some friends who had committed suicide previously so he decided that would be the path for him. As he was walking on the train tracks toward the end of his pitiful life with a train approaching just 200-300 meters away he said he heard a silent but penetrating voice which told him " Step off the tracks, return home, you will find your family, you will find the right path for your life."
He followed the prompting and for 20 years searched for his "family" and the true Path for his life that this voice told him. He testified today to us with tears in his eyes that thanks to Jesus Christ and his restored gospel he found his family and the Path that God wants for him in his life. He also told us that he knew it was the Holy Ghost which spoke to him that day, because of his favorite scripture is 1 nephi 4:6,7.
"And I was led by the Spirit, not knowing beforehand the things which I should do. Nevertheless I went forth..."
It said it was the same for him in his life.
The feelings of the spirit, tenderness and eternal significance of the moment are not describable.
I feel inspired to share this story with you all and invite you to also listen to this voice. God loves us immensley and has a great plan, life, blessings, and family in store for each one of us. Do not decide to end your journey early and if you have a friend who might be thinking so please encourage them to also listen to the Still small voice encouraging each one of us personally to continue that search for Happiness and belonging. I truly love you all and the light, hope and joy that our Savior brings into the World.
please watch and share the attached video and bring light to all within your reach this season.
Love,
Elder Wood
our friend Tomasz
