Elder Philip Bredsguard Testifies of Jesus Christ!: October 9, 2017, "Quick and Powerful"

Email to Family and Friends

The work is just exploding up here in Kalispell! 2/3s of our Zone just got doubled in, and all of the missionaries except us are either training or being trained. We are all here and ready to work hard! Last night just from 8-9 the members we live with gave a referral to go and see the less active family. They were home and we are coming back later, but we set a goal to find 1 new investigator, so we were determined to knock on some doors around that family. We got quite a few doors slammed in our face and as we were getting ready to leave, we said let's just try one more. Behind this door was the most elect young family! And very satisfied (meeting that awesome family and then having 2 new investigators) we were about to get in our car and felt prompted to knock on the very next door. So we obeyed, and it was the exact same thing! Another cute young family very prepared to receive our message, the wife went to girls camp growing up. We were so pumped!!! That is just a little part of what has been happening up here!

"Quick and Powerful"

My favorite part of watching conference this last week was seeing how both President Eyring and President Nelson took President Monson's council from last Conference about reading the Book of Mormon. They both, with such humility, hearkened to his guidance as a Prophet of Jesus Christ.

If I may add my testimony to theirs in the words of Mormon. Yea, we see that whosoever will may lay hold upon the word of God, which is quick (able to take effect in our lives immediately) and powerful (able to change us completely), which shall divide asunder all the cunning and the snares and the wiles of the devil, and lead the man of Christ in a strait and narrow course across that everlasting gulf of misery which is prepared to engulf the wicked-

And land their souls, yea, their immortal souls, at the right hand of God in the kingdom of heaven, to sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and with Jacob, and with all our holy fathers, to go no more out. (1)

The Book of Mormon was given to us to show us what we must do to find peace, find love, and find God. It does nothing save bring men to Christ. I plead with all of you to make the Book of Mormon a part of your daily life. It is true. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
