HALO FAMIRY! HALO EVERYBODY ELSE! We have a new baptism to
be getting ready for at the end of May in Tai Wai. His name is Kenny. He's
super cool. He actually is a former from about 2 years ago. He has a very cool
background in religion because about 7 years ago, he actually was put in prison
for selling illegal substances. After he got out, he found his family very sad
upon his return home. They were scared of him. They didn't know what he would
be like. He didn't know what to do. Then a friend, not of our faith, offered
his hope in God. Very basic knowledge, but he knew it was all true. He has
known for a few years now that God loves him, and he said that this same
feeling is in his heart every time he meets with us, prays, or hears the name
Joseph Smith. He's very specific, especially in his prayers, and they have only
become more powerful as he learns more about the nature of the Godhead.
I've been studying that a lot this week, and I have found
that it's very true that the first eternal truth that Satan attacked at the
time of apostasy was man's understanding of the nature of the Godhead. I would
like to bear testimony that Joseph Smith saw the Father and the Son, face to
face. I have gained, by personal experience, a knowledge that they are in
perfect bodies of flesh and bone. The spirit was also present at the time of
the First Vision of Joseph Smith. Though we cannot see Him, he is the one we
can most often feel, being a messenger from the Father to all who will open his
heart to His gospel. They have the same mission, the same purpose, and that is
to help us become perfect as our Father is. They love us, and if we trust them,
they will guide us. We must be willing to walk the path that has been given
though. We must be submissive, gentle, easy to be entreated, and having charity
and humility (refer to Alma 7:23-24). Not much more to say. Remember to cherish
the words of the prophets, especially the ones that have been handed to you
TODAY on a Silver Platter named General Conference. Take care, and remember the
worth of souls is great in the sight of God.
From Mom-a few fun things that happened this week that Elder Walker shared:
"Last month we had a list of words that we banned as an apartment (for example: referring to Elders as "guys", dang it, gosh, etc.) and we kept a tally throughout the week, and whoever had the most at the end of the week has to buy a bag of Tim Tams and at the end of the month we would slam them. Well, there were a few ties so we had a huge pile of Tim Tams and last Thursday we slammed them!"
Pictures from this week are endearing. "Cross Eyed-ness for fun and because I didn't have anything
else to send... I also figured out how to cross one eye without moving the
other one. super hard to do..." First Elder Powell:
"It's important for you to know that this is at the end of the day in the church after yet another awesome companionship
inventory."
