Help with my investigator friend.

[LDSVALLEY]

You asked what else you can do besides pray for her. The answer is the same the Lord has always told us.

Love her and be her friend.

My calling I work close with investigators and new members I can tell you Satan works hard on them to find any chink he can. As the others have said many of us upon joining have area's we have not developed a sure testimony of. President Faust never resinated with me but was one of my children's favorites. We are each different and unique we respond to many different things which is one reason Missionaries are moved around so much so that different personalities can interact differently with each area being served.

Let her know that her not feeling anything is no reflection on his being a true Prophet or not. Espicially as you said she had good feelings about other speakers. I don't like every speaker in sacrament each week that does not make their talk any less true then the ones I love to listen to. It just depends on many individual factors.

Show love and support for her no matter what path she takes. We have members who take years to decide to be baptized in the end. Many others take years to fully grow roots to become anchored members with sure testimonies. More then the Missionaries you are the best one for her to talk to, do so not as a member missionary but as a friend. It might be something else that is triggering her concern and GC was just an excuse to avoid something else. Remember many non members are most likely feeding negative and false information as well. It is a difficult time and confusing for most investigators.

Pray but remember be her friend.

A burning bush.. a talking stone.. or a talking ass -- heck, I'll take any of them. I'm a member and I could still use some extra help. You should be proud that she is skeptical.. this means that she is building her house on solid ground so to speak.
