This is my friend Greg
Vincent and I, Greg was baptized as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-Day saints on December 21st, 2013.
I met Greg, because his Dad was Baptized recently before him, the ward
mission leader in my home ward called me and asked if I could be there for a new member
lesson for his Dad, I didn't know them yet, but I was happy and excited to be
there! He said that he has a son who is 21, and that he wanted me to fellowship
him, or be friends with him.
Greg is from
San Francisco and he recently moved to Utah, he had not seen his Dad in 7
years, he decided that it would be a good time to move to Utah to see his
Father.
Greg had a desire to follow in his Father's footsteps and be baptized. I
invited him to go to the young single adult ward with me. The missionaries then
taught Greg at our house. The lesson went so amazingly the spirit was felt, and
the missionaries, gave a great lesson on the Restoration of the Gospel of Jesus
Christ. Greg is a very quick learner and he was preparing to be baptized on
December 14th! The lesson went great from there on out. His Dad then baptized
him having recently received the Aaronic Priesthood, on December 21st, 2013.
Heavenly
Father loves each and every one of us more than we know. He loves Greg so very
much and I know that. I am so proud of Greg, he has changed his life so much
for the Gospel of Jesus Christ, because he knows its true and has a
testimony. Greg is such a smiley happy person, I’m so grateful that I know
Greg, now, and that he has righteous desires to follow Jesus Christ.
It is
very easy for me to see God's hand in all of this. Heavenly Father prepared
Greg so that he could have happiness in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Witnessing Greg change for the better
has blessed my life forever.
I
testify that God lives, I know that he lives and loves each and every one of
us. I try to do my best to stand as a witness of Heavenly Father and Jesus
Christ at all times, and can do better. Joseph Smith is a Prophet of God, he did
in actuality see God the Father and His Son Jesus Christ and he played a huge
role in restoring Jesus Christ's church to the earth, the same exact gospel
that Jesus set up when he was on the earth, with all the authority and power
from God. I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ amen.
Amazing story Tanner. Happy for Greg!
