Those things have been perpetrated by weak and evil individuals who have succumbed to Satan's influence and have broken their vows of Christ-centered living. The personal faults of these men, including your husband's former minister, must not dictate his relationship with God, but rather allow your husband to be an even greater light to all around him by overcoming the deep pain (a thing which will be very difficult to do, but which the Lord will help him with over time). To do that, he must return to studying the scriptures and beginning again to pray every morning and every night. The Lord loves him and knows who he is and he is eager and anxious to bless him.

Now, regarding your feeling that the LDS religion in a lot of its beliefs makes sense to you, but that you are afraid because of your Catholic beliefs. Please don't be afraid. You have absolutely nothing to lose by pursuing an investigation of it. Time and space in this email do not allow me to go deeply into the doctrine of the Church, some of which you have already studied and felt good about. What I would like to propose it that I ask a couple of representatives of our Church to contact you to explain what it is that we believe and why it is truly different and how it can be an incredible blessing for your family. Once you have had an opportunity to hear and understand their message, you'll know for yourself whether this is worth pursuing. If what they bring you is not the teaching of God, through your own prayers and study, you will know by the power of the Holy Ghost whether what they are telling you is true. It should prove to be a rich experiences. If you would like me to have them call on you, please send me your address and phone number and I will do that. Please feel free to keep in touch with me to tell me about how you feel with what you are learning.

Sincerely,

Donny Osmond
