Testimony of Christ

These past few weeks I have been able to see so much of my savior in my life. This week I was able to go to the temple and see another one of my great friend recieve the blessings of baptism. Needless to say The gospel in our life makes all the difference. When you have the oppurtunity to watch somebody go through the process of conversion, it is amazing the change you see in there life. God just starts to bless them with so many things it becomes obvious that the Gospel of Jesus Christ is truly the greatest gift that has been given to mankind. During Adilaide´s baptism the closing hymn was povo da terra vinde escutai. There was a phrase in the chrous that became rather clear to me ¨The truth is clear like a light¨ 

I just want all to know that I love this gospel and I know it is true. I am a witness of our savior Jesus Christ and the blessings we recieve from his atonement. There is no greater power to be found on this earth. I love this church, I love the book of Mormon and I love my savior. Jesus Christ is my foundation and with him I will never fall. There is one God and he established one way and this is through the gospel of Jesus Christ that makes the difference. I leave this testimony for the world in the name of our savior Jesus Christ Amen.

Looking for a better way of life

This week has been life changing! We have had the oppurtunity to start working with a man who is really special. He is in his prime and lives alone and is looking for a better way of life.

As we started working with him we came to find that he had problems with the word of wisdom and had addictions that some may say would be impossible to overcome or that no one really could throw out and change.

Well I am here to say I have seen the change the Jesus Christ makes in our life. Our investigator when we invited him to it throw out and start over and he did it. We have been visiting him a lot because we know how that this something so difficult for him, but he is really changing. He decided to come to church with us this sunday and participate in a family home evening as well. He also watched a baptism that we had after sacrament meeting and it really changed his life. Everyday he is a little happier and everyday he is getting stronger. He has started to leave those who invite him to make the wrong choice and stay with those who lift him up. 

The change Christ brings is more then we can imagine. In fact it is not a change but a conversion. I love the gospel. I love the blessings God has given me. The atonement has the power to heal and is able to change us in a way that we can not do ourselves. The man who denies that God exsists, denies his own exsistence. Live the plan of happiness.
