"I testify that bad days come to an end, that faith always triumphs, and that heavenly promises are always kept. Jeffrey R. Holland

Sorry my e-mails are always really lame!  We have so much to do, and not much time to do it! The first Friday of September, we had mission counsel, and it turns out that Elder Ochoa from the 70's was invited, and i was assigned to give a 6 minute talk on the atonement of Jesus Christ. Wow! it is incredible how much Christ does for us! He is my HERO!  The more we learn about Him, the closer we grow to Him. And like Alma said, we will develop the desire to sin no more. We choose to follow him more closely, and not cause him any more pain!

Elder Ochoa gave an amazing talk about how we can find the answers to life if we can answer 3 simple, but very important questions! 

1. Is Jesus the Christ, the son of God and the Redeemer and Savior of the world?

2. Is the Book of Mormon the word of God?

3. Is Joseph Smith a prophet, seer and revelator? 

When we can know for certain that these things are true, we can answer the questions to any of life’s problems! 

He invited us, that if we don’t know, or if we are unsure, to study these three questions…and when every missionary in the world has a conviction of the truthfulness of these things, we can teach with the power and authority of God and we will baptize hundreds more investigators each month! Then he gave us a super awesome blessing, the spirit was sooo strong that I didn’t ever want to leave! Super awesome! so also, i gave a talk in sacrament meeting about......... missionary work!! surprise!! We use 3 questions before we listen to a talk or have a meeting,

3 questions that change us from not only hearing, but changing.... 

1. what have I heard? 

2. what have I felt?

3. what will I do differently?

I invite all of you to ask yourselves these same three questions before everything!!! General conference, talks, testimonies…as we do so we will be changed! We will become more like our Savior!!!

I love you all and hope you are doing well!! This weekend we should have the baptism of Alfonso!!! He is sooo super awesome and has been ready to accept this message for a long time!!! He is so prepared, and it’s been neat to see him study and change, accepting the challenges, and making the necessary changes in his life!

Love, Hermana Morris
