Life is good down here in Texas. I'm happy down here and the work is going well. Happy to be serving Him.
The area is going well. We have some awesome YSAs we are teaching that are doing super good. We are pumped for them and it's fun teaching the young ones. They are definitely the elect. We also have some people in our family ward that we are hoping will catch fire this next couple weeks but we'll see. On Sunday, a girl named Kayla that we are teaching was fasting about getting baptized and the Stake President spoke in sacrament meeting. He spoke exactly what she needed to hear and after we talked about taking a faithful leap in her life. Miracles are everywhere.
I read a quote from Bruce R McConkie this week that said, "I am one of his witnesses, and in a coming day I shall feel the nail marks in his hands and in his feet and shall wet his feet with my tears. But I shall not know any better then than I know now that he is God’s Almighty Son, that he is our Savior and Redeemer, and that salvation comes in and through his atoning blood and in no other way."
Think about it though. He testifies of the Savior so intently and strongly. The last part is what's amazing. When he says that, he shall not know any better then that I know now, even when he'd be face to face with the Savior his knowledge would be the same. How on earth can we get to that point??? I have been thinking about that and realized that it comes from living the gospel and relying on His grace. When we give Him our heart, and almost just as important, our mind, He will work wonders with us. I hope to someday have the same testimony that He has of the Savior. It's comes from giving and growing.
I'm so greateful for all I have. Jesus Christ is the Savior of us all. God is so great and His gospel is the light of the world. I love this gospel.
Love y'all and God bless.
