Elder Pinyon emailed me with 2 emails. Here's the first email that he said,
"Hello my dear friends and family,
Wow, what a week. I'm going to share a miracle with you, one that just happened straight in front of me. On Thursday evening, we had an appointment with one of our friends and his brother and his wife. We decided to teach them the restoration of the Gospel again, because we felt like there was something missing last time we taught them it. So we taught the points of the lesson. In one of the points, we mentioned that God, our eternal and Heavenly Father, that He has a body of Flesh and Bones and is perfect.
What interesting is, is that the brother (Mario) believed us when we told him, but our friend (Renè) was not believing it. He couldn't believe it, because of the things that the world has told him thus
far. We tried to teach every principle possible. We even used Doctrine and Covenant 130, but still he didn't want to believe. Now this was a very big tangent, we had already taught everything up until the
principle of the coming forth of the Book of Mormon.
We were running out of time, so we gave our testimonies of prayer and we promised Renè and Mario that if they prayed about it, God would tell them. They showed real intent wanting to find this out. So what we invited them to do, was to pray about it. It came to getting ready to go, but before we left, we asked Renè to pray for us and asked him to ask God if everything we had taught tonight is true. He was a little confused on why we would want him to ask it right now, but he did it.
I don't know what he said, because he prayed in his own language (Dutch). But at the end of his prayer I thought he said Amen, but he wasn't even at the end of his prayer and he said OH MAN! We asked him what he felt and he said, my heart just started racing and I have this warm feeling inside. His brother Mario said, I have the same feeling come to me too when he asked that question. God had answered not only our prayers, but their prayers and now they KNOW that God has a body and that the restored Church of Jesus Christ is on the earth!!!
I also now understand the principle of we don't teach, but the spirit teaches men. We tried to convince them over and over again, but it didn't work, once they prayed, the Holy Ghost entered their hearts and gave them the answer they needed and he taught them. I am so very grateful for prayer, it is really something that is super amazing!!! You all should try it.
