Mission Miracle from Elder Michael and Sora Suzanne Bryson

Here is our miracle story.
Heavenly Father never gives up on anyone and neither should his children give up on each other.
We are learning this valuable lesson while serving in Romania.
For whatever reason our members have for becoming less-active, we have the Christ-like obligation to love them back into activity in God's church.
We have seen this miracle of love happen in two cities in Romania. One very special sister was loved back into activity by her Branch President and fellow saints. She became confused by Satan and his sly methods. She did not want to attend church anymore and gave up her callings in the branch. For several months her branch president counseled her about the doctrines of the church and gently encouraged her back into activity. She now has a calling in the branch again and is once again happy in the gospel. She e-mailed to thank us for our patience and love in not giving up on her and remembering her through our e-mails.

We have another young woman who was baptized several months ago who is now less-active because she is extremely shy and does not want the attention she receives at church. She told us she now attends the Orthodox church because she goes unnoticed and does not have to worry about being seen. Of course our church is a church of warmth and acknowledgment, so we do not just ignore people. The sisters in her branch are not giving up on her and their efforts are paying off. They send her cards and letters each month and invite her to the branch's activities. She loves children so she went with them to the Orphanage and really liked it. After the orphanage activity, she asked two of the sisters if they would come and visit her and give her a message. WOW! How excited we were to hear her say that. We will love her back into the arms of her Savior where she will learn to accept being noticed and loved.

We firmly believe that through the efforts of loving members each less-active member has the opportunity to choose to come back into the fold of Jesus Christ. We must remember that "Nothing is impossible with God."

Love conquers all and we are God's angels here on the earth to help "bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man."
