HELLO FRIENDS AND FAMILY!!!!!
Wow! This week went so fast! oh my heavens!!! it was a good week! Lots of work to do in Milwaukee!!!! Lots of people need this message!!!!!! It is so interesting to go door to door and ask people what they know about where they came from! and without fail its this: Me* "Have you ever wondered things like where you came from before this life?" them* "well of course" *me "Sweet I do as well I do as well...do you think there are answers to those questions" them* "of course not!" my question is.....WHY NOT!?!?!?! hahaha its CRAZY so many people are just content with not knowing!!!!!!!! they are content with not knowing because there isn't a desire to change! MAN! Hahaha its a little frustrating! But when people can get past that and listen to us then we are golden!!!!!
haha it was kinda funny....sister green and I were teaching a woman yesterday and we were teaching the plan of salvation! and she just was not catching on, as to how knowing where she came from effects the rest of her life...she didn't see the point....and then just out of the blue I said "Kathy, have you ever seen the Princess Diaries???" and she said "Yeah...why??" and I said "Well if you remember, Mia thought she was pretty worthless and thought nothing would come of her.." "BUT when she is told who her father is...and what kind of a royal family she comes from..she realizes her POTENTIAL...and not only does she look different but she acts differently because she has something to live up to because of what she can become...and she has something to live up to because of what she came from!" and then Kathy understood...it was COOL! Yeah...the Princess diaries analogy was cheezy...haha but it worked for Kathy and simplified it!!!! so that was kind of a cool experience! hahaha
But we had Zone conference on Wednesday! AND HOLY TALEDO IT WAS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!! President Cutler is INSPIRED!!!!!!!!!!! It will be sad when he is released in a year! BUT HE IS INCREDIBLE! He shared with us how important the family is!!! If you think about it, the EARTH was created to house the souls of men and women....for what? So they can hang out? NAH! so they can live and be fruitful and have families and live and prosper! Satan attacks the family so much these days! With all sorts of addictions and morality problems! He is saying that baptism is not enough! It is necessary! But we need eternal families to be on the earth! Because when every other organized unit falls eventually, the family will not because it is the strongest unit on this earth! SO TRUE! anyway...haha
My purpose is to invite others to come unto Christ by helping them receive the restored gospel...through faith in Jesus Christ and His atonement, baptism, receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost and enduring to the end! SO! Since that is my purpose! (Which I was told in the MTC that the definition of purpose is "REASON OF EXISTENCE") I invite you all to come unto Christ! Be perfected in Him! He has overcome death of spirit and body for us! It sounds intense....but it's not an intense message....but it is a happy message!!!! I know that these things are true! I know that the church that the Lord established once on the earth is now back on the earth in its exactness! I love this gospel! It is a privilege to hold the great Jehovah's name on my chest ALL DAY! I love it! I love you all!!!!!!
