Share specific reasons why you can trust, and rely upon, Heavenly Father with a Mormon.
Using scripture, give demonstrative explanations of who He is. Never witness by using emotional/experiential reasoning.
Emotional reasoning is how missionaries try to convert people. God doesn’t ‘need’ anything as it says in Acts 17:25!

Encyclopedia of Mormonism – “What Satan did not realize in Eden was that what he did in attempting to destroy the Father’s work was actually the very thing needed to fulfill the Father’s plan (Moses 4:6). People could not demonstrate their love of God and their willingness to do the work of righteousness sufficiently to qualify them for exaltation unless they were subject to, and able to overcome, evil and devil adversaries, such as Satan and his hosts (2 Ne. 2:11-22).”
