Conversion of Lynda Marinho

She joined because of one of the Osmond brothers the one that played the drum, anywho she said she was on holiday with her friend when they were about 15 and they had nothing to do and they loved the Osmonds and knew about Mormons so they wanted to go see what the Osmonds did on Sunday, they went to the church and it was closed (she said this was the spirit telling them to go back) So they went back the next day and ran into a janitor who told them where to find the sister missionaries. Anywho they met up with them and had a lesson but she said her friend and her were really irreverent and made fun of everything and were basically mocking the sisters. One of the sisters didn’t speak English really well but she said that if this wasn’t true then they could continue laughing at them, but if it was they were going to be in trouble (anyway the sisters invited them back to play ping pong). She said that really scared her, so she went in the bathroom and prayed and said she got her answer and was like oh no it is true, (unknow to her, her friend did the same thing and go the same answer) they were on holiday remember and she didn’t live near the church and she told her parents she wanted to be baptized, (they were going through a divorce at the time) anywho her dad was against it, and she was like I’m going to be baptized when I’m 18 then and never talk to you again. Her dad did soften his heart though and it’s all because of missionaries, he took the discussions a long time before and he said if those were the type of people Mormons were then he’d let her join the church. She sent in a referral to be baptized and nothing happened she sent in a second one and nothing so finally she went and sought after the missionaries and they went to the Elders house and one ran out of the house and jumped over the fence and ran off, while the other came through a gate. (Turns out it was there P-day and they never use the gate they always just jump over the wall and go, but this Elder had an impression to go through the gate) anywho isn’t she amazing, I wish more people were like that, I wish the Portuguese were like that.
