One last MTC experience

Jessica sent a letter to her Aunt Elise in which she shared the following experience.  I thought I would share with you.  

"Being a missionary is so fun.  I never thought it would be like this.  I love teaching the gospel.  We had a teaching appointment today (the last one before we go into Babylon aka the real world)  with our progressing investigator.  Her name is Hely and she's from Guatemala.  She was talking about how she loved going to churches as a young girl in Guatemala because she felt safe and she felt loved.  I then explained to her that through the gift of the Holy Ghost she could have that peaceful feeling with her every second of every day if she wanted.  Then my companion invited her to be baptized.  I have never during any of our teaching appointments felt the spirit so strongly.  The only way I can even think to describe it was that a hush and stillness began to fill the room until I was sure it was leaking out the cracks in the door and window.  It was so powerful and we all felt it.  I know she's just a volunteer here, but if the spirit testifies so strongly here where most of the investigators are already members I can't wait to see what it's going to be like for reals.  Being a missionary is the best."
