So Everyone,
I talked to my whole immediate family, that was
AWESOME! I'm glad they are doing well. Things here in Houston Texas,
Spring Branch South, are going really well. We keep pretty busy with
teaching and getting a few people ready for baptism. But it is hard to
help people change.
We jump right on the chance to teach
someone, but helping them make the appropriate changes takes at least 3
months, so it's really a lot of teaching for one baptism, but its worth
it. I haven't written one of these for a couple of weeks now, and I
kind of forget what to say, so just for fun i will tell you my
testimony, the testimony I tell people of how I know this church is
true.
Usually we will have read either the intro last two paragraphs, or
Moroni 10:4. at that point I explain what the invitation is and that
it works and that is why the Book of Mormon is the corner stone of our
religion.
My experience goes as follows:
At college I finished the BOM
and that night really decided to ask to KNOW without a doubt if the Book
of Mormon is true and if I was on the right course. So I finished
Moroni 10 and got down on my knees, by myself and gave a long, sincere
prayer. Really asking, really wanting to know, really listening to Gods
reply. Through the Holy Ghost, I got the feeling of "knowing", it is
unlike any other thing, for me, it wasn't a thought popped into my
head. But it was through a particular emotion of calmness that the holy
spirit was able to really talk to me, and reaffirm the truthfulness of
the BOM and gave comfort to my decision to serve the TRUE church and the
truth of the help i will be able to do for people.
If you haven't had this experience recently, I challenge you to do so.
Thank ya'll for everything! I hope to hear from you soon!
love Elder Bleazard
