Testify of the Resurrected Christ

Hey Awesome Family, It is me again. Wow love the photos. Thank you for a smile and a update. Love the photos. Looks like Little Sophia is getting big, growing up fast! Wow. Slow down don't you know that you are not allowed to do that until I get back? haha. Remembering you telling me that when I was growing up. I thought that it was funny but I think that I am starting to understand a little bit more now than I did then. Wow.

Well today I have seen miracles happen! I had interviews with President this week and I had to tell him the date that I was going home. After talking to him about it told him that I was going to go home on Aug 14th and that although that that might be a short time at home and that I did not know when I would be starting school that I felt like the July date was a bit short. Well today I got on the SVU site and guess what...they posted the dates. The first day of school is Sep 4th! That will give me more time at home with you all before I need to go out there. Trust the Lord and the rest will work itself out. I'm grateful that I have the chance to work and serve the Lord and to spread the message with the world, and to bring the world back unto Christ.

This week I was reminded of the importance of a Prophet. I am so grateful that we have a Prophet to guide us and to help us know that Jesus has a body and lives. Last Saturday while trying to contact as many people as I could because we have not found any investigators at all.. anyway I contacted another missionary for another Christian church and he started to talk to me about the Bible and how the Bible does not say anything about the Americas, and a visit there. I told him not specifically but, then reminded him that Jesus after he was resurrected said that he needed to visit other people. He then proceeded to tell me that when He was resurrected He didn't really have a body and that even though he could not explain... that He was like ya Jesus is in you and me He is a spirit and that He can be everywhere and no where at the same time because He is not in a real body. I then asked him why Peter was able to feel His hands and His feet? And why Jesus said be not doubting but believing. I testified that it was Christ's Resurrected body. This nice man told me that was a spirit, God has all power and that did happen but it was not a real body. This is why we need a Prophet. Because we have living prophets we can clearly understand who Christ and His Father are and who they are in relation to us. You and I are children of a Father in Heaven and He has a body of flesh and bones. He lives. I Kindly invited this man to come to Church, after testifying that Christ had a body, Just Like the Bible said, and although he said he might not do it he thanked me for the invite and we left. Prophets are so important in leading us back to our Father in Heaven.

Well that was one of the many experiences that happened this week. I grew a lot this week and I hope that I can improve and grow from what happened this week.

Well I love you all so much. Have a great week. Know that I love you all so much.
