Finding True Happiness 12.8.14

This week what pretty normal. Ha! Other than Tuesday… We had a zone conference. That was pretty cool. And for the first time in my mission, I was pretty sick! Nothing to worry about. I am fine now, just had to stay in 2 days... Worst ever! There is only so much sleep you can get....

My companion is not taller than me? Why? But, on the flip side,  I was able to read a talk about the Great Apostasy and how throughout the course of time, people have done the best they could with all the knowledge they had to do the will of their Father. But, nonetheless, over 1800 years things have gone wayward in the world of religion. Without the direct connection with God we are just relying on the wisdom of man.

I keep reading in the Book Of Mormon around 3rd Nephi. And I keep seeing the things that happened right before Christ came the first time happening again today!! We live in an exciting time. Where the fullness of the truth is on the earth. It has been restored just like many prophecies  have told us. This is the day and time where the best of the best have been saved to come to earth. To see if we will accept what the Lord has given us. To see if we will follow Him no matter what our background is.

God knew what you could handle. And he will never give you anything you cant handle. I cant begin to tell you how much I have learned in this short period of time! The only smart thing you can do is to follow God. And we can’t pick and choose what commandments we follow... If you follow God... you follow Him in everyway you can. You can’t follow two masters. This is something that I have been learning by seeing people. Good people. But they only want to follow when it is easy, and in their favor, and convenient. 

The bottom line is, we are all looking for happiness. Jesus Christ (our brother and Savior) came and showed us how. He lived a perfect life. He never once did anything that was not to follow his father.              

So, how are we supposed to find happiness by disobeying our father? By not keeping his commandments? It simply doesnt add up. The only way to be happy is to follow Christ. To walk as he walked and to listen to our prophet! He is the mouthpiece for God!!!!!

Anyway, I know this church is true and that Jesus stands at the head of this church! Take Moroni's promise serious. Pray to gain a testimony, or pray to strengthen your testimony often! I do daily. I promise you will never regret following the light!

This car was out side. A guy we street contacted. Looks sick. Sorry it was dark. Ha!
