I recently got called as a Relief Society Instructor. I am teaching on Sunday and so today I decided that I'd do Initiatory, then sit in the waiting room and work on my lesson. While sitting there I looked up and saw an older man sitting across frome me. I smiled. He gave me the nod, acknowledging my smile. A few minutes later he came and sat across from me and said,
"Martin Harris was re-baptized when he moved to Utah. My grandfather met him and Martin Harris told him that he truly saw the golden plates. He said that he went to the place where Moroni buried them and turned the leaves of the plates. When my grandfather was dying and I was seven years old he told me this and said that I was only one mouth away. Now I am telling you that you are only two mouths away from this testimony. Don't forget the truthfulness of the Gospel."
He then handed me a small peice of paper with a picture of him and his wife at the top and a summarized version of this with their testimonies.
The sweet experiences you receive through Temple attendance.

What a wonderful experience! Thanks for sharing!
That's great, Jenny. And it's cool that you're only two mouths away from Martin Harris's testimony.

That's cool. What a cute man to have pictures printed of such a neat story to pass on to others.
I'm so glad you recorded that. What a sweet experience. And now I'm only three mouths away from Martin Harris' testimony!
That is really neat! we should plan a day and go to the temple together! i need a buddy for those times when Kenyon is working and i wanna go
What a special experience Jenny. I am sure you will treasure that. Now, you and Trevor need to go to Clarkston, UT to the Martin Harris pageant and you will appreciate it even more.
