Week #12: ¡EL PROFETA VINO!
What is up everybody! Hope you all had an awesome week! I for sure did!! This week was an amazing one! The work is going great and on top of that, we got to hear from the Prophet and also an Apostle!!! Best day of the mission so far, of course. It was such a spiritual experience. The spirit that those men have with them is real. We each got to shake their hands and Wow that was sweet. I couldn't even get out any words when I shook President Nelson's hand, I was just fumbling the words around in my mouth and didnt know what to say! It was funny, but he just smiled and was so nice. They each spoke to us with their wives and it was amazing to learn straight from the Prophet of the church.
I wish i had his talk recorded so I could go back and listen to it again and again. He talked about the awesome opportunity we have at this moment to be living during the time when scattered Israel is being brought back into the true fold of God! It is not by coincidence that we are living right now at this time! We each have our jobs to do to help prepare the world for the coming of the Savior...don't just leave it up to us misisonaries!!! ;) It was truly an experience that I will never forget. Hearing from the man that recieves direct revelation from God is not an everyday experience.
I know without a doubt in my soul, that Russel M. Nelson is the Prophet of the church at this time period. He is the the spokesman for the Lord. He is called by God to direct this church in these latter days. I know this church is true down to my core. If you dont have a testimony of the Prophet, I simply invite you to ask the person that does...Ask God. Pray to God and ask your questions and I can promise that He will answer you. That is simply what I am teaching people here to do. Learn about His church and Gospel and then ask Him if it is true. I testify in the name of His Son Jesus Christ that when you do, with real desire, you can know all things.
I love you all and miss you. I am so thankful for the opportunity of a lifetime that I have right now to be a representative of The Lord Jesus Christ. Que pasa bien yall
