🤍THE START OF SOMETHING NEW🤍

 HE LIVES!! I TESTIFY THAT JESUS IS THE CHRIST!! IM GRATEFUL TO HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE, SET APART FROM THE WORLD, FOR 2 YEARS REPRESENTING HIM! 


This is my life, my light, and my salvation!! This is who I've become! I hope to always and forever represent Him! To stand as a witness at all times, in all things, and at all places!! Because of Him I'm changed! I've developed many attributes He posses. I've learned more about His Sacrifice and Atonement for me but also for others! I've felt Charity!! DEEP DEEP CHARITY!! I've seen as He sees. I've taught His pure and perfect doctrine! These things will never leave me! This will truly be the stadt of something new for my life! 

This past week. We've been able to help 7 people receive a date to be baptized! They are wonderful precious Children of our Heavenly Father!! I love each of them deeply! Seeing others truly be complelty changed as they have Faith. As they keep the Commandments and as they're baptized have been my JOY!! My passion for this Gospel and Church will never falter. I can surely and boldly say that there is nothing that can drag me down to the gulf of misery or endless wo. I AM BUILT UPON MY ROCK AND MY SALVATION, MY BROTHER JESUS CHRIST! 

I am so excited to share all my experiences and my joys and my loves with everyone who is willing to listen. Even those that aren't I hope to help feel God's love for then. I loved general conference! I feel like there were so many things that applied to me coming home. Talks on enduring discipleship, Charity, carrying our corner, Service, temple service, and so much more. 
I loved Elder Rasbands invite. To share the Book of Mormon with someone!! That's my challenge to each one of you!! 

SHARE A BOOK OF MORMON BEFORE I COME HOME ON WEDNESDAY!! I PROMISE AND WITNESS IF YOU FOLLOW THE INVITE OF AN APSOTLE OF THE LORD, YOU WILL FIND GREATER PEACE AND HAPPINESS IN YOUR LIFE. YOU WILL FIND REST FROM THE DAY TO DAY TRIBULATION OR TRIALS!! HIS GRACE AND MERCY HEALS AND STRENGTHENS!! CHOOSE HIM TODAY BY FOLLOWING HIS EXAMPLE!! 

I have so many more things I want to share but I just want to keep it short and say that 

I KNOW, I KNOW CHRIST LOVES US! I KNOW HE IS AWARE OF US! I KNOW WITHOUT A SHADOW OF A DOUBT THAT HE ALSO NEEDS US. there is nothing of greater importance then to share ALL of Him with ALL of His children. God loves us! He knows us! Jospeh Smith is His Prophet who restored this eternal church and truth. I know He gives us prophets today to lead us. Russell M. Nelson is the latter day Prophet! If you don't know that! Listen to one of his talks and tell me he's not. HE IS OF GOD! I'm grateful for the priesthood! The power God has given us as man to be exalted and to be deeply and richly blessed. I love Him and will always be an Instrument in His hand! No matter what that instrument needs to be. 

" I WILL ALWAYS BE HIS!" 
" BECAUSE HE LIVES!" 

♡ Elder Wold
