Dear Bloggers lol,

 

Life here in the promised land is great! The Lord is working miracles here. Most of these people have very little knowledge of who Christ is and why it is so important but as we read the words of the prophets in the Book of Mormon with them they feel the power of the words and there hearts and minds are converted. Its amazing in and of itself that people convert from Buddhism to Christianity because its just alot different. The Lord my God is by my side every day and i'm so grateful for all that everyone has done for me to help me to get here i know i wasnt always the best example of the believers but i want everyone to know that i know God lives and he is with us everyday as we live worthy of his spirit. I know Christ is the Savior and Redeemer of mankind and only through and in him will we be exalted.

 

I was reading Elder Packers talk on Cleansing the Inner Vessel and i love what he said, "we can not; we will not change our moral standards" just because a law gets passed or something doesnt make it right in the eyes of God. Those sins still have consequences whether or not society accepts it.

 

Well besides that this week has been pretty uneventful besides i ran into a pedestrian on my bike the other day but i'm not going to get into to much detail on that lol it was very embarassing and i feel really bad. Now that i think about it its pretty funny i just hope shes not to bruised up. .... (note from saige: i make this big because its so funny and i hope everyone will comment and tease him so i can tell him! lol )

 

love you all, thanks for reading my blog and stay well!

Okay first of all i havent been gone that long lol i know who Justin Beiber is lol and plus Madi sent me a package of Justin Beiber trading cards lol
Things are going great here in Tainan! Except mom says i'm getting fat? :( lol no i have gained a little weight my pants are getting tighter i'm scared i might have to buy some new ones.
my message for the week is.......

As we are patience in our afflictions the Lord will bless us and our families to overcome any obstacle that we are faced with. Alma 26: 27 "...bear with patience thine afflictions, and i will give unto you success."

make it a point every morning to read the scriptures together and do family prayers morning and night i can promise you as a representative of Jesus Christ that your marriage will be stronger than it has ever been and this any obstacles to come will go away and as you continue to do it throughout your marriage you will be eternally happy together.

i do know is that  we in the church have the steps to overcome all trials. Faith, Repentance, Baptism(Sacrament), Holy Ghost and Endure to the End.

 

Love your brother
