The church is true!!


Querido fAmilia,

wow where to begin... its been a wonderful time here in the wonderful heat of chinadega. haha! The work of the lord is steadly climbing and in these past few weeks we have seen small little miracles each day. The other day as me and my amazing companion Elder Taylor from washington, were walking towards a appointment that we had, On the way I said a quick little prayer in my heart that before we arrived at our set appointmente that we would be lead to a new family that we could help come unto christ.
 What happened next was astoniding!! We took no less than 11 steps down the road when all of a sudden I saw a man sitting inside his house and so we went up to him and introduced ourselves and testified that the message that we had would bless and strength the unity of his family. They accepted us in and we began right away to explain the grand message of the restoration and how we have a loving father in heaven that wants us to be successful, happy and united as a family. To complete his purpose he has given us the gospel of jesus christ through the mouth of prophets such as times of old. The prophets hold the keys to this gospel and our placed incharge of overseeing and guiding his childern on this earth. He speaks with them and gives them commandments to give to us. They hold the priesthood or the authority to act in gods name to preach teach heal the sick.... As we taught we could see a light turn on inside them. We then went on to explain how by living his gospel and being obediente to his commandments such as sabath day, praying, faith repentance and baptism, is the way to overcome whatever trial shortcoming that we might have and become prepared to return to live with our father in heaven agian.
The evidence that the church of jesus christ of latter day saints has been restored and that it holds the authority and is the only true church on the earth is through the book of mormon. The book of mormon another testament of our lord and savior Jesus Christ shows the love that our heaven father has for all his childern. He called prophets and apostles in the old world, and he did likewise in the new world. The book of mormon such as does read in the introduction, in the last two paragraphs is the means in which a son of god can read and pray to know if this book is the word of god. Those that do so and recieve a witness from his holy spirit, the holy ghost, that the book of mormon is true, will also come to know that joesph smith junior, was a prophet of god, that once again as times of old the heavens have been opened and god our heavenly father and his son Jesus christ live and love us. They want us to be happy and its through living the princples found in the gospel that we can achive this true and everlasting happiness. Peace I leave upon you, not as the world giveth... And if anyone has questions or wants to learn more about this wonderful mensage, I invite you all to invite them to listen to the full time missionaries, for they will be a help guide for those friends you have. The greatest thing we can do for are friends is share them our testimony, through words and deeds, invite them to activitys, and most importantly church. Most sundays people don´t do much with there sundays. You can invite them to attend church with you and get to know other youth there age or parents that have families happy. Through this step of going to church, they will be showing there faith to follow god and the lord will testify through his spirit that these things are true.

Keep up the wonderful work all of you. This is a time of much tormoul and strife and more than ever the lord is calling us to serve. Everyworth man or woman is needed, this is the age where all prophets of old saw in visions. I was reading in mormon yesterday and he writes about the book of mormon in chapter 3, it was to be saved for are day and time to bare witness to the world that he lives and guides his church through a living prophet today and twelve apostles. Amos 3:7 no harĂ¡ nada Jehova sin revela su secretas a su servos los profetas. Sorry couldn´t remember how it went in english. HAha!
At the end of our lesson with the family we commited them to baptism for the end of april, they accepted with gladness in their eyes. I know that this gospel brings happiness, and brings hope to the broken hearted. I am truly grateful for the time left I have here and am grateful for your prayers and letters. Thank you guys so much for the fun videos of the easter fun reunion, The shoking game, the wise words of uncle mike about this game..haha! and the funny video of weston.
We have such a wonderful family, couldn´t have wished for anything better. Take luck, have a nice flight...you to haha!!-Brian regan. till next time.
