Elder Crisp: November 2013

About Me:

I am a recent convert of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I've been a member for let's see... "About two whole years now!" I love this Church and everything it stands for! I have gained so much from this Church I can't wait to share the same happiness I have with the people of Angeles, Philippines! I am the only member in my family and at times it is hard to know that my family doesn't believe in the same things that I believe in, but I know that as I serve the Lord diligently and give Him everything I have, my family and I will both be blessed! I believe that everyone, including those who make mistakes, deserve the opportunity to share the same happiness I have. I believe in second chances because if my goal in this life is to become more like Christ, who judged none and forgave all, then I should strive my hardest to love everyone regardless of their flaws. I know that this Church is true and that The Book of Mormon is true scripture restored through the translation of Joseph Smith. I know that our Heavenly Father loves us and blesses us daily and that if we live His commandments and strive every day to be more Christlike that we will live with Him again. I know that Christ lives and that He will come again someday. I love this Church and I leave this with you in the Holy name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

November 3, 2013 letter

It was a great week! I feel like some might be discouraged if they didnt see many of their investigators at church and yes that does truly hurt when you dont BUT we did see many of our less actives at church and to me...thwat itself is a success! That means that we are on the right path! In the scriptures its says How great shall be your joy if you bring one soul unto me, I am beginning to think that that also means Less actives as well as Investigators. In a way we really are bringing them back into the fold and that just makes me feel all warm inside! It truly is incredible to see the Spirit just flow right into them after so long! I have only been here for a little over a week or so but I feel like I have known them forever and it makes me happy when I see them happy! So I will just say that I am thankful I have the opportunity to serve our Heavenly Father and I love my companion and I will talk to you next week!
Sincerely, Elder Crisp
