Hola! I hope everyone is having a fantstic day! I am doing great! This week was a great week! And Today has been an excelent day.
The Highlight of this week was a activity we did stake wide. We had a Devocional with all the Returned Missionaries and missionaries. The Stake president, Mission President, and an Area Seventy were present. We were able to present an activity challenge. The chalenge was that each return missionary give a referance to the missionaries and baptize a friend, familiy member, or acosiate in 2 months. Elder Hernandez the seventy spoke about the importance of referencas and missionary work for not only 1.5 or 2 years, but a life time, and also talked about how missionaries are called to teach the gospel, to find is the duty of all members of the Church of Jesus Christ of latter day Saints.
Something that really called my atencion of what he said is we as members of Christ´s church are not here to teach salvation, we are here to teach Eternal Life. Thanks to Christ, each and every one of us will be saved, we will be resurected. Yet, to live with God and our families we must make and do the correct covanents and ordinances through the power and authority of God which is only found in his church that was restored through the prohpet Joseph Smith. I solemnly testify that God lives, as well as his Son Jesus Christ. That Juan the Baptist appeared, visited, and restored the Aaronic Priesthood to Joseph Smith, and later, Peter, James, and John, to restore the Melchizedek Priesthood. I testify that through Jesus Christ we are saved, and through following him, and making covanents with him, and being changed through him will we recieve Eternal Life.
As gospel topics teaches, "Eternal life is the phrase used in scripture to define the quality of life that our Eternal Father lives. The Lord declared, "This is my work and my glory—to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man" (Moses 1:39). Immortality is to live forever as a resurrected being. Through the Atonement of Jesus Christ, everyone will receive this gift. Eternal life, or exaltation, is to live in God's presence and to continue as families (see D&C 131:1–4). Like immortality, this gift is made possible through the Atonement of Jesus Christ. However, to inherit eternal life requires our "obedience to the laws and ordinances of the Gospel" (Articles of Faith 1:3)." (Gospel Topics - Eternal Life).
I testify that God is our Father! He loves us! I wants to see us happy, and this is the only way. That we change and become like him. "And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom though hast sent" (John 17:3). Of this I testify!
I love you all! I pray for you all! I believe in you all! Have a great week!
