Hey you all :) What a week this week! We knocked on so many doors. I think we knocked on more doors than there are stars in the sky..... Haha! We were able to find a few people who were interested in the Restauración del evangelio de Jesucristo. Others liked el plan de salvación. And others who liked el evangelio de Jesucristo. No matter what they liked, it all connects back to Jesus Christ. He really is the light of the world.
Something that I just love about being on this mission for Jesus Christ is that I have started to realize that the scriptures, daily prayer, Christlike attributes, family, all of these things mean so much more and are everything that we need to become perfect. The more I focus on Jesus Christ throughout my day the happier I am.
Money brings short term happiness, the clothes we wear, the car we drive, the amount of friends we have on Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat. It all brings short term happiness. But what brings happiness for today, tomorrow, and forever? Jesus Christ.
Lehi realized that true happiness was only possible through Jesus Christ.
In first Nephi Of the Book of Mormon Lehi had a vision, and said, “And as I partook of the fruit thereof it filled my soul with exceedingly great joy; wherefore, I began to be desirous that my family should partake of it also; for I knew that it was desirable above all other fruit.”
This fruit that Lehi described is the restauración del Evangelio de Jesucristo, el plan de salvación, and el evangelio de Jesucristo.
I know with all of my heart this fruit is more desirable above all other fruits. As we continually partake of this fruit we will be in a state of happiness for forever. I know that Jesus Christ lives. He is my Savior and he does direct the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
I hope you all have a fantastic week and New Year!
