The other day I was giving an English exam to one of our missionaries. She had answered many of the questions and her English was really good. After a few minutes I came to the question, "Can you tell me how the gospel of Jesus Christ has blessed your life?" Immediately, before she opened her mouth to answer, both of us were enveloped in the spirit, and we both began to weep. I didn't need to hear her speak to know the answer to the question. The language of the spirit communicated the truth to us more clearly than Spanish or English ever could have.
Later this hermana shared part of her spiritual heritage. Her father was cleaning someone's house one day when he spotted a Book of Mormon in the house. He asked if he could take it and read it. After reading it he was so certain of the truth of the book he wanted to find out where it came from. At this time there were no missionaries, and no LDS churches in his country so he wrote to Salt Lake to ask how he could join the church that taught the Book of Mormon. The authorities in Salt Lake arranged for someone in a neighboring town to teach him the gospel and he was able to be baptized. There is real power in the Book of Mormon.
