Where do I begin? First Happy Mother's Day! Mom I wouldn't be half the man I am without your loving Christlike example in my life! You are a light that I know I can always look to! Talking to my family was definitely highlight but we also found 6 more investigators, worked harder than ever, partied in the trailer park, and rode in the nice A/C provided by our wonderful car! Really though this week was awesome!
We had an amazing miracle this week! Simply after 8-9 hours of grueling work in the hot humidity and rain we found nobody and just got yelled at a lot! We kept smiling and working. Faithfully and diligently. We worked as hard as we could we prayed and prayed and prayed! It wasn't until the last 20 mins of the day when we found our daily goal of investigators! It was absolutely amazing! I can promise that if we continue to act in faith we will be blessed!
Lastly I just wanted to leave you with my testimony of the Book of Mormon.
I add my testimony to the countless others who have taken up Moroni's promise and received a personal witness that the Book of Mormon is the word of God! I testify that each page contains the power to lead us down the path of happiness and salvation! I testify that the words, written by prophets of old, have the ability to calm troubled souls and mend broken hearts! It can answer any question of the soul with exactness, prescribed to your very circumstance. I testify with all my being that The Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ is exactly what it claims to be! It was written by the ancient inhabitants of the Americas. Holy men wrote their dealings with God and more important the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the fullness! The records were hidden away and remained unchanged for hundreds of years. They laid untouched until the angel Moroni visited the boy Joseph Smith after his encounter with God the Father and His Son Jesus Christ. Joseph Smith didn't just make up a story, he didn't conjure up some lie, he didn't die along side his loved ones for a book that he made up! It is true! Just as Joseph Smith testified, just as every prophet that wrote the record, and just as every prophet following testified! If we but ask God "with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ" the Holy Ghost " will manifest the truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost"
I add my witness that I know that the Book of Mormon is true! It has changed my life, answered my questions, and has taught me about my dear Savior Jesus Christ! This book is evidence that what I am doing isn't all for naught! It is evidence that Joseph Smith is a prophet, Christ's church and priesthood has been restored, and that Jesus Christ is the Savior and Redeemed of the world. I know it! I've experienced it! I hope I can but live it's teachings and help others do the same.
I urge anyone and everyone to find out for themselves if this book is true. Continually ponder up its words and live them. I testify that all who do will be changed forever and will one day be prepared to meet their king. It is my hope and prayer that we will all make this book the keystone of our lives.
Read it! Love you lots!
Elder Tracy
