Aloha Friends and Family,
I hope each one of you had a
wonderful week! Mine was good and fun! It started out with a Fun time at the
BYU-H game room after emailing last Monday. We went bowling, played Ping-Pong,
and even Air Hockey. It was a good time! Lots of Laughs! My Name stayed in
First Place for the bowlers of the week all week haha!
We got some new direction and our
emailing time has got cut back and now we even have less time. So these might
be rushed some times. I also apologize in advance if I don't get back to your
personal emails that same week!
This week I was able to go on
Exchanges with Elder Hansen my MTC companion. It was good fun being back together.
I want to share an experience we had. We met with this girl named Sky, she's in
her young 20's and has just come in
contact with the church for the first time in her life. The second she saw us
she told us of her experience that morning. She told us about how from the time
she has read the Book of Mormon she has known it was true. She always felt a
little guilty asking Heavenly Father if it was true because she already knew it
was. Her Friend had challenged her to ask anyways and she did. She said she was
sitting on the beach early this morning all by herself and she prayed to our
Heavenly Father to ask for a reconfirmation. She expressed how she was filled
with warmth and tears filled her eyes and she knew again it was true. The
reason I share this is we should never be afraid to ask again. No matter how
true you believe it to be, continue to ask. Ask you keep your witness of the
Book of Mormon current your testimony will deepen. I invite each one of you who
believe the Book of Mormon to be true to pray and ask again. I also invite all
of you who don't know, regardless of your faith, religion, or beliefs to read
and pray to know if it is true. I promise our Heavenly Father will NOT lead you
astray. If it is not true then you will know... but if it is true you will know
and it will change your life as it has changed mine and thousands of thousands
of peoples around the world.
I am absolutely loving the mission,
the people in Hawaii, and the beautiful scenery I have every day. I am loving
the time I have to spend learning about and teaching about our Savior Jesus
Christ. I know he lives, I know he had suffered and died that we can overcome
our weaknesses and be rid of our guilt. I love each and every one of you, and
because I do this is why I share this, it is so precious to me and I would love
to see the blessings and joy it can bring to your family as well. I hope you
all have a wonderful week and smile a lot!
