Dear Family,
Heelloooo! Greetings from Flowood, MS and it was
another great week. Humid and very rainy yet again..but GREAT. I am
learning so much ( as i know I say every week)..yet it is true.
It
is amazing how plain and simple the gospel truly is and what a blessing
we have to share it with the world. I was reading in the bible
dictionary about dispensations ( a dispensation being a period of time
when the gospel of Jesus Christ is on the earth) ..and it says that
every dispensation the gospel of Jesus Christ is taught a new so that we
do not have to rely on the previous dispensation for knowledge about
the plan of salvation. love that! it is so true. I was looking at a
pamphlet about the 'plan of salvation' from a different church and it
said..3 easy steps!... Now please do not think I'm tearing down other
churches..i tell you about this other pamphlet because it really brought
this to light for me! It is true..So many are so confused about what
the plan of salvation really is. I am referring to the questions of
"where did we come from? Why am i here on earth? Where am i going after I
die?" These questions are all answered with the message we share. This
is because there is and has been a restoration of all things. We do not
need anymore to rely on previous knowledge about the plan of salvation.
The way we can know this is true(That the gospel has been taught a new)
is by reading and praying about the Book of Mormon. This is the
"convincing evidence" that the gospel is true..
So i will get off my soap box..but these are some things i have been thinking about this week..
This
week we found a wonderful new family. We were trying to contact some
less active members of the ward...We tracted into them..knocked on the
door and used the saviors peace and blessings door approach. and when we
asked "may we come in and leave this blessing" he said.. "yeah come on
in!"..best finding tool ever. the family is very receptive and loves us
sharing more with them about the book of mormon. They also have so many
cute kids. Forever family! We are leaving the blessing this week because
when we did the approach not all the kids were home. So we set up a
time to leave the blessin. The husband said.."yall can come by every day
and bless us!" haha.
So life is great..I love my companion..I love the work..I love the Lord. and I am so grateful to be on a mission.
The
gospel of Jesus Christ has been restored again to the earth and I know
this because I know the book of Mormon is the word of God. Therefor
Joseph Smith, the first prophet of this last dispensation is a true
prophet.
How great is this work and how great is my calling!
Hope yall have a wonderful week and that the wedding goes well. I will be praying for yall. Shout out to my sister!
Love yall.Peace and blessins!
