Questions of the Soul

The autumn winds of seasonal change are blowing.

Leaves are whirling and twirling, falling to the ground.

It was a chilly wet morning in Rotterdam on Wednesday.

Monic and I were already in the church, snug in a comfortable room, busy with coaching conversations.

Upon finishing one conversation, I went to find the next missionary.

And there they were.

Resting.

The Sister Missionaries were a little tired and cold.

Huddled together, wrapped in their jackets, they were warming themselves, comforted by the toasty radiator.

All week long, like their colleagues, they’d been boldly sharing messages about the Book of Mormon, outside on street corners, busy high streets and in parks filled with fallen autumnal leaves.

Physically, their hands and feet may have been a little cold, yet spiritually, their hearts and souls were glowing, filled with a flame of fire, burning brightly, fuelled by their faith in God and their knowledge of Him.

Thawed by the radiator and warmed by our conversation, they were ready to start all over again.

Doing what, you may ask?

Providing answers.

Daily, missionaries are asked lots of questions about life – 𝒒𝒖𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒐𝒖𝒍.

• Is there a God? (Alma 22)

• Does God know me and care about me? (2 Nephi 26:24)

• Does God answer prayers (Enos 1)

• Why is life so hard sometimes? (1 Nephi 17:3)

• How can I find peace and joy? (Mosiah 2:41)

• What is the purpose of life? (Alma 34)

The Book of Mormon addresses all of these questions and more.

It is my witness that The Book of Mormon brings warmth and comfort in times of difficulty.

Perhaps you are whirling, twirling, tired or cold, physically or spiritually?

Are you in search of an answer?

Then speak with a missionary today and read the Book of Mormon.
