Modern-day Prophet

February 9, 2009

We contacted a young man on UNC campus that seems pretty interested. He’s a Religious Studies major and had learned a little about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in a class of his. I asked him if he thought it were possible for a prophet of God to be on Earth today, leading His Church. He really seemed to connect with the idea of a modern-day prophet. He said, “It seems like Christianity, both before and during Christ’s time, always had a prophet, a leader for the Church.”

Greg also really connected with the whole idea of another witness of Jesus Christ, namely the Book of Mormon. He had a lot of questions about the book, where it came from, how it compares with the Bible and why it is important. We met with him again on campus and it was really one of the best lessons of my mission. I think it was so great because the Spirit was really there, and Greg was really receptive of the main principles of the Restoration of the Gospel.

Thank you all for all you do. Please pray for Jessi, who will be baptized by Elder Farrell this Saturday, February 14th!

Love,

Elder Walters
