Missionary Moment - Puerto Rico San Juan & Dominican Republic Santo Domingo West

This email will be the last until next week just right after Christmas so I wish you all a very merry Christmas now so it won't suck in a week when Christmas is over and no one really wants to talk about haha

 

These last two weeks have been a little frustrating ti tell the truth, nothing extraordinarily horrible but I things could've definitely been better. 

 

My biggest highlights were a few of the treasures that you usually find on a mission, I've now read the Book of mormon 3 times all the way through and preach my gospel through again to help me be a better missionary but I've also had the wonderful privilege of doing several Baptismal interviews with invites the spirit like nothing else can. I've been so blessed to to be apart of each of these baptisms! Watching them truly brings joy into my heart and gladness to my soul, it also gives me great worry for those who've been lost because they continually choose not to accept what's being taught. It always being my center of focus on many of you. 

 

I want to invite each of you to rewatch or reread talks given my our Prophet Russell M. Nelson whose many recent talks are spoken on the need to focus ourselves on and in the temple, how God is the only infinite and eternal source of truth, and the importance of families who, with them, we may be exalted. 

 

As much as many of you think, these things are important. They do exist and it IS something we need to be doing to have a fullness of joy and peace in our lives. I speak with a very small number in comparison to the multitudes I speak with daily who tell me their lives have changed and there is no joy greater than this. The other half of that small number can't seem to listen very well not just to what we tell them or the the spirit testifying that they're truth. 

 

My friends, God is the only source of truth. He lives and loves us. The gospel of Jesus Christ has been restored. Families can be together forever but what we need to decide is if any of you are willing to do what God asks to be able to say my family will be together forever. 

 

I love you all very much and hope you find an inkling of join this Christmas week.
