It’s been a good week here in good ol paradise! We’ve had the chance to find some new people and teach the gospel to them which is such an amazing opportunity that we all have as members of the church!!! I absolutely LOVE sharing the gospel with others and I think to myself why in the world didn’t I share the gospel so much when I was at home! I think the main reason is because we are almost all members of the church. Ha ha.
Anyways, just a couple of experiences that I had this week! So the first one is we were able to find a family and we have been teaching the daughter and wife for about a month now. But this week we found the father of the family home so we got to talk with everyone! Anyways, their beliefs were a lot different than ours and we taught them really with all of the energies of our hearts. It was really tough because they were saying the Book of Mormon is not true and a lot of things that I didn’t like to hear. But we were able once again to testify so firmly that the Book of Mormon is TRUE and that it is the Word of God! We felt the spirit so strong!! I know as well that they were able to be touched by the spirit too. We put another appointment with them and they accepted!!
The second experience was we have been able to start teaching the class to prepare yourself to enter into the temple!! It was so awesome because I was able to ordain the brother to the Melchizedek Priesthood and now we are able to help them get ready to enter into the temple!! It’s such an awesome experience to be able to help others with the knowledge that we have! Goodness, and we are so blessed with the knowledge that we have of the gospel and of the Plan of Salvation and EVERYTHING. Because I know so many people that are lost with what they have studied and what they have been taught!!
I want to share my testimony with you all that I KNOW that Jesus is the Christ and that He leads and guides this church. I know that God lives and that He loves us. And because He loves us, He called once again a prophet here on this earth!! I know that through Joseph Smith the gospel was restored and that through the ordinances and covenants that we make and KEEP we will return and live with our Heavenly Father and His Son, Jesus Christ again! I also know that through the Atonement and ONLY the atonement, we can be forgiven of our sins and be saved!! I love you all so much and I hope with all my heart that we can keep fighting the good fight!! Have an amazing week everyone!!
