Unexpected Visitors

You here a knock at the door, who could it be at this time of day. The knock comes again, hmmm.... maybe something of importance? Getting closer to the door you see two figures. Some what hesitant you open the door. First thing you notice is their battered old shoes, man they must of walked miles. None the less they looked genuinely respectable. Smiling they introduced themselves to you. Then you think to yourself, ohh I know who they are. After a small conversation they say, we have something, something that can change your life! You watch as one reaches into his satchel, what could it be......

Alright I got you this far, so I guess you can stay for a little bit longer....

What do you know about the Book of Mormon? What have you heard about it? Do you believe what you have heard is true? 

Being a missionary we talk to many people on a daily basis, we encounter a lot of people who have little knowledge or a skewed knowledge about the Book of Mormon. I thought that this video would help you understand more about its purpose.

                                 An Apostles Introduction

The Book of Mormon does not take place of the Bible. When both are used hand in hand we can know and understand the fulness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I stand as a witness that the Book of Mormon is true and that the reading of its contents can bring us even more peace and happiness into our lives. I know that it is true because I have asked God and He has shown me its truth through the power of the Holy Ghost. I invite all who read this to take time to learn more and to truly understand what I meant by saying this book can change your life.

Zombies or not Zombies

This is my brother.....

 

               My brother awhile back made a video based off of the scripture in (1 Samuel 16:7) "for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart". The story follows a young boy by the name of Levi who grew up being told that his Mormon friends and neighbors were "zombies" and he should stay away from them. He finds out some of his friends are Mormons and after some discussion, they convince him to come to a dance held for them. He has a great time and finds out that Mormons aren't crazy or boring. This is just the start to his introduction to the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and he finds out it is something he actually wants in his life. 

                                                                       

                                                            Enjoy........

     

                  I had a good time watching this, it made me laugh, but I also felt the spirit of its message. This may be an extreme example, but the message behind it is good. We need to look at the hearts of those around us rather than their outward appearance. It teaches us to search for truth for ourselves rather than taking others word for it. In (Matthew 7:7-8) it states, "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened". I testify that God will make known the truth of all things if we go to him in sincere prayer.

Honesty

As I think back on life back at home I often think of the memories I had with my older brother. Why these experiences stick out to me so much I don't know, but the lesson I learned from him were very profound. The summer of 2007 my brother and I and a couple of our friends went down to Magic Mountain, a theme park in the LA area of California. We had a full day of fun and exciting things to do. When the day was winding down it was time for us to leave. As we left the front entrance my brother stopped and told us to wait there. He then walked back to the gates where you pay and started to talk to some of the Six Flags staff. I really had know clue what he was doing. About 5 minutes later he came back and told us what he had just done. A couple years back my brother went to Six Flags with his best friends family. Somehow he cheated the system and didn't pay. It made him feel guilty all these years and he knew that it was not honest of him to do. This is the reason why he went back to talk to the staff. The staff thought he was crazy and even laughed at him when he told them his story and about how he wanted to pay them back in full. They got someone higher up in authority at the theme park and my brother gave him the money. At the time I thought he was crazy, and at that stage of my life I wouldn't let something like that bug me. I would of justified my dishonesty on their high prices. I didn't understand the true meaning of honesty.

           An honest person is trustworthy, tells the truth, keeps promises, and people can depend on them. We need to be honest no matter how small or how big the situation is. The honesty of a person reveals much about them. Can we say now at this time in our life that we can be entrusted with something of great importance? Are we honest with our fellow man, family, friends, ourselves, and the Lord? Dishonesty can destroy our relationships with others. The more we are dishonest the more conditioned and prone we are to be a dishonest person. We can change... make steps to change and trust in God that he will help you. "Being honest often requires courage and sacrifice, especially when others try to persuade us to justify dishonest behavior. If we find ourselves in such a situation, we can remember that the lasting peace that comes from being honest is more valuable than the momentary relief of following the crowd". See True to the Faith (2004), 84 You will see a greater light, peace, and confidence in your life when you can say, "I am an honest person". I can testify as we strive to be more honest in every aspect of our life we will become more like our Savior Jesus Christ and his light will shine through us.
