The gospel is awesome and so perfect.. there is not one flaw in it!
Well i told you i bought a bike, so elder jones and i have gone some days just biking, it can be tough but it is so awesome how the world changes when you are spreading the gospel on a bike.. its seriously a different experiance.. the other day it was cold and rainy while we were biking but the experiance was so awesome.. it actually felt way good with all this wind and rain and the sun shining through the clouds with a bright orange glow and huge rainbows.. so cool.. and then to go see an investigator whos house is nice and warm, but totally humble becuase the living conditions in sumter are really poor.. but yeah i have seen some beautiful things spreading the gospel on a bike.. you truley get a different and unique perspective of the world and all things have their beauty when you aproch everything from a gospel perspective.. as i beleive Joseph Smith taught,the "eyes of [my] understanding" have been opened from time to time.. to actually see physical things with spiritual eyes is an amazing blessing and exerpiance!.. I know the message we share is perfect and true.. there is no denying it.. everyone must find out for themselves however.. no opionion of man matters, only the opinion of God.. and I know that He has restored His gospel through our Savior Jesus Christ, and the Prophet Joseph Smith.. people say it is hard to believe a prophet could possibly be on the earth today, but the truth of the matter is, that there was NEVER a time on the earth when it was easy to beleive there was a prophet on the earth. If people really believe noah could possible be a prophet they would have gotten on the ark... but in fact they thought he was a joke.. they thought.. how could noah possibly be a prophet? and they perished in unbelief in the flood..
Our Heavenly Father is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow; just as the scriptures teach, He has always called prophets to be His "mouthpeice" why would He stop calling prophets today, if He is a perfect and unchangeable God why would He change?.. My testimony is that He has never stopped calling prophets on the earth and that He has indeed called one again on the earth today. That the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, is the exact same church we read of in the Bible, the same Church our Savior Jesus Christ established. And I know these things to be true and bare this humble testimony, in the name of my Savior and Redeemer, Jesus Christ. Amen.
