Well everyone it is pretty crazy to think that my service is
coming to a close. What a ride it has been from the start to the
finish. As I look back, I see just how much the Lord has blessed me in my
life. All the amazing people we have been able to find and teach and help
them come closer to Heavenly Father have all been because of Him. I was
especially grateful that I had the opportunity to go back to Gajuwaka and see a
lot of the people that we taught over a year ago. I know without a doubt
that I did nothing to soften their hearts or help them to where they are now,
it was all the Lord.
I know that without a doubt this is the true Gospel of Jesus
Christ on the earth today. I know that today God has given His authority
to man to perform the saving ordinances for all of us. I know that
Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ live today and that they still answer our
honest prayers. I'm so grateful for the chance that I've been given to
serve the people of south india in just a small way. I know that the Book
of Mormon is really the word of God and that whoever will read and pray about
its message, they will receive an answer through the Holy Ghost.
I know that my
family has been blessed like anything by following the commandments and these
same blessings are available to all. I am grateful for all that I have in
my life and I hope to continue to bring more souls unto Christ for the rest of
my life. I know all these things to be true and I leave them with you in
the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
