Hi Sarah!
I can tell you have a heart for your Mormon relatives and want them
to
experience the true Jesus as Lord and Savior. I understand how you
feel
because I, too, have loved ones that are caught in that web of
deception.
I wish it were that easy to write a letter to them and they would see
and believe.
Sadly, it seldom works that way. My suggestion is to not send or
share that
letter because it will probably make some of them angry. We need to
keep
that door to witnessing to them open. I'm sure you have some
excellent information. Keep that as a reference. If some special
event happens in
your life, you could share that in a letter to them acknowledging
God's hand
in it without mentioning their teachings. You might get a positive
response
that way which could lead to more dialog.
I try to find ways or look for openings to witness. One thing that
I do is
to read some of the LDS materials such as Ensign or their priesthood
or
relief society lessons or sunday school lessons (all found at
www.lds.org)
and ask a question or two. My son and daughter-in-law do not live
near me so
I occasionally send an email asking something about the current
lesson.
Sometimes they reply to my questions, sometimes not, but I've been
able to
keep the door open to conversation. The process is long and slow, but
I won't give up and you shouldn't either. Just keep loving them.
I have to tell you that several times before my son married, I
tried to show him
the false teachings of the LDS. He wouldn't listen and usually got
angry at me.
He knows that we love him and are concerned so he did not cut us off.
I usually
ask the questions of my daughter-in-law although I know she shares
those questions with him.
I know it is frustrating. We would all like to share eternal life
with our loved ones. We must keep praying for them and keep studying
God's Word so that we can testify of what the Lord has done for us.
Blessings to you Sarah,
Sue
