Hey Everyone!
This week was an amazing week. The work is going awesome, Missions are awesome, Life is just awesome. I was reading a talk called candle of the lord by president packer.
He mentions a story of a person telling him that he didn’t know God existed because he couldn’t explain it to him how he knew God existed. I pondered this story a lot that at times we get questioned,”How do you know this church is true? How do you know there is a god?” He said how hard it is to explain to someone how we came to know these things. President Packer explains it that the things the Holy Spirit tells us are not easy to explain, because the Spirit teaches us through our feelings. It is okay to not know how to explain how you know. All that matters is as we share our testimony of the truth of what we have felt in our lives the Holy Spirit will be able to teach others to their way of understanding. I know of the power are testimonies can have as we share them with others. We too will be strengthened to know that we ourselves have a testimony. I love my mission more and more each week! I have never felt so much peace and happiness as I have shared with others how much the Gospel of Jesus Christ will bless others and there families.
I love you all!! Have an amazing week!!!
