Hello everyone!
Wow, dont know why but this week went by real fast. Moreso than others. Wasnt I just here writing to you all? Anyway, right to the point.
We were surprised by a visit from Elder Corbridge of the Seventy on Saturday, in which his main message was "Why?" I shall explain of course.
Remember, the message we carry is more important than anything else that will have importance in our lives. That of course the Gospel of Jesus Christ has indeed been restored from heaven to the earth. And the proposito of missionaries is to bring that message and guide others to cultivate that faith in Him daily and excersize that faith to repentance and baptism and receiving one of the most precious gifts that your God and my God can give us, being the Holy Ghost. We do this throughout the rest of our lives and keep the commandments and live as Christ lived and do as He did.
"Now why on earth would I want to go through all that? Im perfectly fine where I am here."
Sadly, We here this all the time. But really, why is what we need to teach and share. With the knowledge of the Plan of Salvation, and our progression here on earth. What is our destination? Eternal Life, our Exhaltation. How do we get there? Obedience(big one!!) The Atonement, The Book of Mormon, the other scriptures. Conclusion. By knowing where we are going and how to get there, the fault lays on us if we are not moving forward.
Again, why do we do this? Why would we?
"And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. "
Boom. Simple, but direct. We want to live with God again, we cannot do so without the help of the Savior, but we MUST do our part always, faithfully. Sigue adelante, reciben las ordenanzas sagradas, y hallaran sus mismos en su presencia
I love you everyone!
Elder Newman
