Don't take my word for it!

To be honest we have been really busy but not much to report on haha. Okay Lies I just remember a few things. hhaha. Exciting knews is that Elder Sakurada is in Denmark! I am so excited to see another living person from Roy Utah! And even more surprising is I will be seeing him at anther mission conference in Copenhagen this Saturday. And the speaker will be the one and only Elder Bednar! We, as a mission, are so excited for this huge opportunity to hear from him! This is going to be a great week!

I would dare say that me and Elder Kinch had an interesting appointment with an investigator that we found. We had hopes of inviting him to baptism actually haha. We taught the Restoration and the Spirit was just amazing in there! Testified of Joseph Smith and the Book of Mormon but amazingly even though we testified and the Spirit was present he took a second and said that Christ was the last prophet to live on the earth and there will be no other after him.... What? The Spirit was immediately withdrawn. We tried to explain and use actually bible references of the need for prophets today! But he was set in stone. But what his case that he made was just un clear to me and didn't make sense. It reminds me of The Restoration movie where the priest came to Joseph Smith and said that ''There are no such things as visions and revelations in these days''. Really why? Tell me why does God ceased to be God? I invite everyone to read Moroni 7 in the Book of Mormon. But can someone explain to me that the Windows of Heaven are shut today and that God no longer talks with his children. That CAN NOT be now and WILL NOT BE AGAIN!

I testify with all my soul that I know that the Windows have been opened again. This is Christ's Church here upon the earth! Joseph Smith is a Prophet of God and that we have a Prophet of God on the Earth Today. President Thomas S. Monson. We need prophets today because we are changing everyday and our Heavenly Father will give us our own revelation, when we are doing his will, it can be through the scriptures, a friend or even the apostles and prophets (His Servants) themselves! The Authority to act in God's name was lost with the 1st twelve apostles but God has reached out again and restored that Athority! Just watch President Monson at past General Conference! By his Fruits you shall know! Do not take my word for it though! Do not take President Monson's words for it. Take The Testimony of the Book of Mormon. It is more than just another History book. It is more than just a random civilization that lived in the America's. It is the word of God and has the fullness of the Gospel restored to us! It is the only way of truly knowing! It has been brought forth by the power of God himself to one of his prophets, Joseph Smith. Read the Book of Mormon and than ask if it be true to a Father in Heaven who will tell you the truth of all things if we are willing to find the answer to it! Our Father in Heaven is a Father! He wants to communicate with his Children like any other loving father to his loving children on this earth! If you don't have a testimony of it than get on your knees and ask for one! Just because you cannot see him doesn't mean he is not there waiting on the other side of the telephone! Just do your part and pick up YOUR telephone and desire to know more happiness. I challenge everyone to pray about the Book of Mormon. Do your part first and read it! Don't expect something you haven't worked for. Some answers come sooner than others. Some come even before you finish reading the Book of Mormon. Embrace the Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ and they will come! Ask and you shall receive. That is our invitation to you and the world! Will you all do it this week? I know that God will answer you! Just asking a specific question ''Are you there?'' makes all the difference in life. I have done this invitation this past week and I know that God lives! And that the Book of Mormon is true!

I hope you all have a wonderful week! Slow down a little and look for the good things in life. The trees, lakes, mountains (wish we had those =) They have made a difference to think of how it all came to be this past week. I love you all! You all are truly my Brothers and Sisters. Thanks for your love and support. This past week they have truly been felt! Love always!
