This week was pretty eventful! We had Zone Conference, Mission Leader Council and also exchanges!
This next week is going to be crazy because we have two more exchanges and lots of service hours, I am excited!
Our
mission president asked us to commit to reading the Book of Mormon
everyday for the rest of our lives. It was very powerful the way he
talked about it. I readily made the commitment because I know the Book
of Mormon was written by prophets. I know it's true. I have seen
countless blessings in my life and in the lives of others thanks to the
teachings we read inside. I know that I have taken it for granted in the
past, but there is always time to change and improve! :) Heavenly
Father loves us and because of that love he has given us a sure way to
return to Him. Through the scriptures, we learn what that way is. I know
that as we apply the teachings of the prophets of old as well as the
prophets we have today, we will be worthy of the Spirit, and never go
astray.
The invitation is extended to each and every
on of you reading this email. Read the Book of Mormon everyday. And dont
get discouraged if you miss a day. When you accidentally skip brushing
your teeth one day, do you give up all together and never brush your
teeth again? Claro que no!! As soon as you realize, you go brush your
teeth!! Its the same with scripture study.
I love you all! :) have an amazing day!
Hermana SpackmanWe knocked a door last night. The man who answered spoke with us but wouldn't listen.
He
kept saying, "I'm happy the way i live my life. I have what i want. My
family is fine and we don't need to go to church. We're good." He just
kept saying, "I'm happy. We're good." After testifying to him that there
is more, we talked with the member who was with us about why people
have that perspective.
Because of Christ, we know that there is more and that the happiness that the world lives in, is t e m p o r a l .
God
requires us to change and repent. That process includes changing
behaviors and choices that will require our effort...its not easy. The
world is content with just being enough. In order to b e c o m e like
God, change is needed. i know that because of the restoration of the
gospel, there is m o r e . there is eternal j o y!
Los amo,
