Allo! eiaha to oe huru (from Elder Purahui) I guess I am an honorary Tahitian now, seeing as I have had 2 comps from the same little island haha.
Elder Purahui is a ton of fun, and he loves the work and the word of God. He has been a member of the church for 5 years, and he has some incredible life stories. He loves people, and it's fun to see how he talks with others. I have a lot to learn from him.
This week was full of miracles, but we had a moment this week that I will certainly never forget. I'm sure a bunch of you already know, but President Nelson came to Montréal. The members of the church from all over Canada and even from the US gathered to a massive conference center, and we were lucky enough to go. We even got to take the metro to get there, and I love the metro now haha. Throughout the conference, we were addressed by Elder and Sister Bennet, Elder and Sister Anderson, and the Prophet and his wife. They taught us about many things, some of them being revelation, prayer, and Jesus Christ. Also, President Nelson (the prophet) shared with us 10 things that he has come to recognize as eternal truths, because he is a witness and the mouthpiece of God and Christ.
As a missionary i have also been called to stand as a witness of Jesus Christ, and in turn, his Prophets. So I would just quickly like to share some of the things I know.
God loves us
The Atonement (life and death) of Jesus Christ allows us to be forgiven for our mistakes
The Spirit of God and His word changes hearts and lives
The Church of Jesus Christ is restored on the earth today and led by a living prophet of God
God has prepared a plan of happiness for us that leads us to eternal life with our families
The way that I have come to know these things, is by following an invitation repeated often in the scriptures. In the Bible James invites; "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God..."(James 1:5). The prophet Moroni exhorts; "that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not true..."(Moroni 10:4). And Jesus Christ Himself; "Ask, and it shall be given unto you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. For every one that asketh, receiveth; and he that seeketh, findeth; and to him that knocketh, it shall be opened."(Mat 7:7).
Sometimes it seems as if the truth is uncertain, or not even there. But as you can see we have received many open invitations to find the truth, if we are willing to ask. I love you all, and I love the light that comes from the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It changes.
Have a fun week, and reach out to someone you haven't spoken to in a while! They miss you
