I have been going out with the missionaries quite a bit lately and I love it! Being able to share the gospel is amazing! I am now sharing it anyway I can. I know how much it has changed my life. It's brought me peace and happiness. There was a time a week or so ago, where I finished a lesson with the sisters and then on my way home I ran into the elders and went with them to talk to someone in the apartments standing there. We ended up teaching the Restoration. It was amazing! You could see the spirit reaching out to him. You could see his eyes change.
I also went to a couple of the Mission Devotionals. These are so good! It's where the new members of the Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints bare their testimony on how they came to know that Christ's original Church is back on the earth. There are also videos and short messages that the Missionaries give. Oh and amazing music sung by the Missionaries! There is a Mission Devotional every month and I encourage you all to go to one if they are available in your area. If not, then I encourage you to go to a local Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints service on the first Sunday of the month. This is also a day where all members can bare their testimonies. I have finished reading the Book Of Mormon for the first time! Took me about a year--this is with skipping days :O ! I know I skipped, I can definitely feel a difference between the days I do read and I don't.
I want to talk about The Book Of Mormon. There are many people that say bad things about it. So I want to explain The Book Of Mormon a bit more.
The Book Of Mormon is ancient records of the people on the ancient Americas. Just like the people in Jerusalem- they had prophets to help guide the people and testify of Christ- so did the Americas.
It is another Testament of Jesus Christ. The Old testament and new Testament also testify of Christ, before and while he was here. We read all of them together.I was talking to my sister and we were discussing the fact that people put down the Book Of Mormon a lot. They say that its wrong, that Joseph Smith wrote it. No he did not. He translated the Book Of Mormon by the power of God.
I'm not sure why people hate on "Mormons" as much as they do. We do not put down other religions. They say we are not Christians. We are "The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints" we are christian. We believe in Christ.
I encourage all of you to read the Book Of Mormon. There is a promise in the introduction that If you read the Book Of Mormon and ponder in your hearts the message it contains and then ask of God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ if the book is true. Those who pursue this course and ask in faith will gain a testimony of its truth and divinity by the power of the holy ghost.
I KNOW that the Book Of Mormon is true. I know Christ's original church he established while he was on the earth, has been brought back.
What would you do if you knew that Christ's church was back on the earth today?
