May 28, 2018, "The Book of Mormon"


Email to Family and Friends

          What a week! We had all sorts of amazing experiences!! We are working hard and really trying to take care of our investigators that we Do have. We are really striving to help them make and keep commitments that their faith might increase, even to repentance. I have loved being able to share my testimony so freely with ALL. 

"The Book of Mormon"

             I know for a fact that the Book of Mormon is true! I want to share this as my testimony to each. That the Book of Mormon was given to each of us to find peace and happiness in this life, in the midst of trials and tribulation. I know it will lead us into life and Salvation in the next. I know with out the Book of Mormon and the Prophet Joseph Smith we would never know that we could live as families in the eternities! I love you family!

May 14, 2018, "The Worth of Souls"


Email to Family and Friends

          This week was amazing to see the amount of revelation the our Father in Heaven so wants to give each of us! We had seen visions and had thing made known to us in no others ways this week to hasten the work here in Thermopolis! This week I am striving to open my mouth, and declare this gospel as I have never done previously. I know this work is true and I am filled with the love of God and blessed with an amazing companion!

"The Worth of Souls"

             "Remember the worth of souls is great in the sight of God; For, behold, the Lord your Redeemer suffered death in the flesh; wherefore he suffered the pain of all men, that all men might repent and come unto him. And he hath risen again from the dead, that he might bring all men unto him, on conditions of repentance. And how great is his joy in the soul that repenteth!" (1) 
               We ALL have a divine worth, and none is greater than the other. I know that Jesus Christ himself came to this earth and performed a perfect Atonement for the sins and afflictions of all of us. I KNOW IT! I love each of you. And I love my mission.
In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.

May 7, 2018, "What Can I Get Out of This?"


Email to Family and Friends

          Well no more voice recorder haha, he decided to take it back haha.

          We had a really good week this week and just had a fabulous time! We have been finding some golden friends and investigators!

"What Can I Get Out of This?"

             My family, please prayerfully study these two scriptures "And charity suffereth long, and is kind, and envieth not, and is not puffed up, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil, and rejoiceth not in iniquity but rejoiceth in the truth, beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
             "Wherefore, my beloved brethren, if ye have not charity, ye are nothing, for charity never faileth. Wherefore, cleave unto charity, which is the greatest of all, for all things must fail--
             "But charity is the pure love of Christ, and it endureth forever; and whoso is found possessed of it at the last day, it shall be well with him.
              "Wherefore, my beloved brethren, pray unto the Father with all the energy of heart, that ye may be filled with this love, which he hath bestowed upon all who are true followers of his Son, Jesus Christ; that ye may become the sons of God; that when he shall appear we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is; that we may have this hope; that we may be purified even as he is pure. Amen." (Moroni 7:45-48)

              And "Behold, there are many called, but few are chosen. And why are they not chosen?
              "Because their hearts are set so much upon the things of this world, and aspire to the honors of men, that they do not learn this one lesson--
              "That the rights of the priesthood are inseparably connected with the powers of heaven, and that the powers of heaven cannot be controlled nor handled only upon the principles of righteousness.
              "That they may be conferred upon us, it is true; but when we undertake to cover our sins, or to gratify our pride, our vain ambition, or to exercise control or dominion or compulsion upon the souls of the children of men, in any degree of unrighteousness, behold, the heavens withdraw themselves; the Spirit of the Lord is grieved; and when it is withdrawn, Amen to the priesthood or the authority of that man.
               "Behold, ere he is aware, he is left unto himself, to kick against the pricks, to persecute the saints, and to fight against God.
               "We have learned by sad experience that it is the nature and disposition of almost all men, as soon as they get a little authority, as they suppose, they will immediately begin to exercise unrighteous dominion. 
                "Hence many are called, but few are chosen.
                "No power or influence can or ought to be maintained by virtue of the priesthood, only by persuasion, by long-suffering, by gentleness and meekness, and by love unfeigned;
                "By kindness, and pure knowledge, which shall greatly enlarge the soul without hypocrisy, and without guile--
                "...Let thy bowels also be full of charity towards all men, and to the household of faith, and let virtue garnish thy thoughts unceasingly; then shall thy confidence wax strong in the presence of God; and the doctrine of the priesthood shall distil upon thy soul as the dews from heaven.
                "The Holy Ghost shall be thy constant companion, and thy scepter an unchanging scepter of righteousness and truth; and thy dominion shall be an everlasting dominion, and without compulsory means it shall flow unto thee forever and ever." (D&C 121:34-42,45-46)
