What kind of courage does it take for a Catholic nun to accept the message of the Apostasy and the Restoration? In this story we see evidence that Christ works miracles according to men '5 faith. "It is by faith that miracles are wrought" (Moroni 7:37). "0 Lord, thy righteous will be done, for I know that thou workest unto the children of men according to their faith" (Ether 12:29). "Whatsoever thing ye shall ask the Father in my
name, which is good, in faith believing that ye shall receive, behold, it shall be done unto you" (Moroni 7:26). If you knew what a sacrifice would be required for this nun to accept the gospel message, would you have the courage to persist in teaching her if you were her missionaries?....

Long story BUT WORTH of it! Read it all!
Yes, it was a very sweet story. I LOVED IT. But I think she had something special that made her different to the other nuns...she was open minded and was not afraid to share with her own nuns friends about these missionaries. She had courage and definetly God put the missionaries in her way to teach her!. Also, the missionaries! what a great thing they did! think about missionaries of today for instance, how many of them if they see a nun in the street they will be going to approach her and share the Gospel ;D.

Sometimes I wonder if Mother Teresa excepted the Gospel, she seems to know the true meaning of service, better than many in the Church. |
Well I do not doubt she lived a life of service, but she would still need to be baptized, receive her endowments, etc. This would mean an acceptance of the Gospel rather than just acknowledging Christ alone. Or should I say, she would need to accept the whole Gospel and not the parts or false parts she may have known about it the flesh.
