It is my testimony that this is the
Kingdom of the Lord, preparing the world for the second coming of the Messiah.
I find that it is easy for the Lord to change someone physically, but a
spiritual change greatly depends on us and the state of our heart. I hope to
soften my heart enough to let Christ change me.
I love the mission life. I love the
challenges, and the surprises. I love it when it goes right, and when the trials
come. I love the people here, the culture, the food, and my friends. I love my
president, and my companions, but more that all of that, I love the Lord. He is
my God, my Shepherd, my Master, my Messiah, my Friend, My King, My Father, My
Brother, and My Christ. Of all those things, he is mine. I can only hope to be
strong enough to be called his as well. To be gathered with the children of Israel
worthy to be saved by his grace, through the Law of Justice and the Law of
Mercy, which only through the Great Jehovah, are brought to a balance.
I plan on falling to his feet and
kissing the terrible marks in his skin that he has for my fault, and when the
armies of darkness come forth to accuse him of lying, using the words of the
Jews, of Pilate, of many others: “Art thou the Christ?” My testimony will be
beside thousands of the Holy Prophets, Apostles, and servants. “He is.” And he
will answer with the same answer that he gave on mount Sinai, to the crowds
of mocking Jews, to Joseph Smith, and to the world, the actual
meaning of the name Jehovah: “I AM.”
I love you all and will see you
shortly, and leave my mission in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

God lives! He loves us! He has
placed His church on earth in our days once more to help us know how to come
back to Him. I know this is true and I want to make the teachings of our Savior
Jesus Christ the basis of my future. Good things are in store!
See
you soon,

I really can't express how much my
mission has meant to me and how much it has changed me. I am so grateful to
Jesus Christ, for trusting me with His sacred name for the time I have been out.
I love y’all! Take
care!

I love missionary work! I love Ping
Dong, and I love God. I'm grateful to witness his tender mercies in my life and
in the lives of those we share the gospel with.
I'm grateful that I can communicate
with my Father in Heaven anytime of the day. I can never deny that power that I
feel every time I kneel down to my Heavenly Father and pray to him.
I love the work. This is Christ's
church, and it's a privilege to be a part of the great work. I love you all.

I can't believe Elder Cook is
already home! You were the pioneer for us, and I can tell that you gave
it your all. Thanks Spence. Love you.
But, Hey Boys, everything is
awesome here in New Jersey. My English
is doing a lot better, and we are seeing miracles. I don't know what to
say but you are all doing the right thing, and thank you for that. I love
you all, and I know the gospel was restored. We are here to gather
Israel. How crazy is that? Us. Keep up the good work!
Love,

This is the Lord’s work and he is
hastening it but we as missionaries and members need to be prepared and find
our part in his plan. I know I am trying my hardest to be the sharpest tool in
the shed for when the Lord of the harvest needs me most. I have a testimony that this church is true.
Jesus is the Christ and the Savior and my personal Redeemer. I know he knows me
and everyone personally and we can get to know him through prayer and
repentance which we all desperately need. His grace or otherwise known as
enabling power is sufficient to save us, to lift us, and to strengthen us
through (not out) of our trials and we will be so much stronger on the other
side because of that. I know everything is a learning experience. I love the
Lord and all of you so much.

It's so important to share the
gospel in every single aspect of your life that you can. Share it with
everyone. Give out a Book of Mormon. Bring someone to a family home evening.
Invite someone to mutual or church. Change their lives. That's what I've been
called to do and I'm so happy to do it.
