I know I've done a really bad job at writing the family letters for the past few months. I apologize about that. Im going to try to be better about it.
Me and Elder Latham are making good progress in our area. We're building up a pool of people we can teach. and finding some success. Missionary work is hard sometimes.
This week I heard a talk by a man who was a former stake president. his talk was about gaining a testimony of jesus Christ. In it he said, That Any member can have the same testimony of Jesus Christ that the Apostles have. I thought that was interesting.
I've been pondering lately the difference between knowing ABOUT Jesus Christ and KNOWING Jesus Christ. In John 17:3 it says "And this is LIFE ETERNAL that they might know ....[Jesus Christ]"
I know that as we keep Gods commandments with exactness and NEVER EVER give up on trying to do our best despite how many times each of us will fall, that we will come to know so much about Jesus Christ. As Well as know him itmimately. It is trulely one of the most valuable relationships that we can have.
We're all just practicing here on earth. Practicing to be like Jesus Christ.
I love you all and miss you so much!!
