We had a fantastic activity recently. It was the Missionary Music Fireside! It involved our Branch and the YSA Branch and the regular ward that all meet in our building. Anyone could perform and our Branch had a new member sing a Spanish song with his guitar. Yeah, I know. But apparently that is OK for a fireside. He was so nervous but it was wonderful. The spirit was so strong in that fireside. There were some very talented performers. And then as our zone leaders pointed out right before they sang "it isn't always about the singing. Sometimes it is about the Spirit you bring." The whole evening felt so good!
We had recently found and talked with a Jewish man and since he was a singer and had performed in numerous plays and sang the National Anthem in 50 ballparks across the states, we invited him to sing at the fireside. Included in the fireside were two short church videos, I Am A Child Of God and Because Of Him. So Christ was sang about a lot and viewed a lot in the videos, which he accepted very well.
The next day we had an appointment with him and reviewed all that we have in common with the Jews themselves and the House of Israel. It was amazing. When we moved onto Christ we said that many people were confused and disappointed at the time because Christ was killed. We said it was necessary and he cut in and said "Yes, for the resurrection and to pay for people's sins". Wow. We were amazed at how ready some people are to feel a testimony that Jesus is the Christ.
We love this work.
