Subject: EL LIBRO DE MORMON
The Book of Mormon is true!!!
It was a rule in the central mission (which part of it combined with the south mission to make the antigua mission) that you had to carry a Book of Mormon in your hand at all times. Well some people might think that I came from the central and not the south mission because I already did that sometimes. It isnt a rule for us but Elder Riffo and I love doing it. Reading it a lot more this week I have realized how much of a blessing and a joy it is that we have it. It is a miracle!! And some exciting news is that they are coming out with some Book of Mormon videos like the bible videos they made. ISN'T THAT SO COOL!!! It looks so exciting. The link to the church news article is here below. I recommend that you all go see it and get excited to see the Book of Mormon come to life.
To quote Elder Jibson, one of the Elders we share a house with, "I could watch this video a hundred times"
It is pretty cool.
In other news the Orellana family came to church this week!! We had a great lesson about the Plan of Salvation with them Saturday night and the Spirit was so strong and they embraced those truths so easily! They have a lot of family members who have passed away recently and so they really were wondering what happened after this life.
The Ruiz family (from the BYU sticker) also came to church, well the dad and the son and the dad is reading a lot of the Book of Mormon. They have just been the most golden investigators ever but we are not surprised that we are starting to see some opposition. They have had more support from the evangelical church where they used to go so they really need your prayers that they will do the work necessary to receive and recognize an answer that these things are true and that they will have the valor to join the church. Please keep them in your prayers!!
Also Orlando is getting baptized this Saturday and he is very ready and understands the lessons really well. And my little sister Sophie is also getting baptized this week so shout out to her and this first of many big steps that she will take in her life. Love you Sophie!!
That's it for this week but next week we are going to Panajachel so I will have some good pictures. People think that Panajachel is where the waters of mormon are and there is a city under the lake there! Pretty intense stuff.
I know that Jesus Christ lives and that He also came to the Americas! The Book of Mormon is true and if you read it every day it will change your life!!
______________________________In my email to Joseph, I asked him to send me something that I could share on his behalf at Sophi's baptism this Saturday. So we'll send today's post with what he shared:
Hola Sophia!
Being on a mission has helped me realize the importance of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It is the only way to be happy here on earth and is the only way to live with God again.
An important part of the Gospel of Jesus Christ is getting baptized. It is the gate to enter the path that leads to Heaven! Before we get baptized we need to have faith in Jesus Christ and repent of our sins. Then we need to follow Jesus' example and be baptized! When we are baptized we become completely clean of any bad thing we have ever done! When you come out of the water you will be perfect! When we get baptized we promise God that we will obey his commandments and always take the sacrament at Church on Sunday. To help us do this, He gives us the Gift of the Holy Ghost to help us in all of our decisions.
Someone we are teaching named Orlando is also getting baptized today and I am SO happy that you and him have decided to take this great and important step of baptism. I hope you always remember this day and challenge you to read the scriptures every day and pray many times a day. If you do you will be happy even when things are hard. If you do you will be a good example to me, to all your brothers and sisters and to everyone you know. I know that Jesus Christ is our Savior and that He called Russull M. Nelson as a Prophet. This is Jesus Christ's Church and you are about to be the newest member of the Church. I love you Sophie, and share this with you in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
