Elder Nathan Wold’s mission in Atlanta, Georgia North Mission: 🤍🤍The Temple is a House of God🤍🤍

I LOVE TO SEE THE TEMPLE! I WENT THERE TODAY!! THE Spirit was remarkable!! What added more to my Joy was Antwan and Marcy our friends we've been teaching came to the temple and we taught them on the grounds before our session. They brought their 2 little kids with them (Messiah and Ariee) such cute kids. We talked a lot in previous lessons about the temple, about the future covenants focusing on being sealed as a family. We read in the Book of Mormon and talked about Doctrine and Covenants 132. It was so spiritual and powerful. God's love absolutely encompassed us!

□ Miracles: (so many more I can't write them all, I need to write in my journal and do other pday things)

- Peronica is doing so well! She has been struggling a tad bit with death in her family and also sickness. She has been so strong praying to Heavenly Father and reading the Book of Mormon.

- Ronnie and Angelica and the Sims Family are awesome! They want to be baptized and literally said. Yo we want to come to church.

- Shay and her Family (there are literally 12 people were teaching here)

The own a restaurant called VSoul! It's actually really good. Everytime we go we find 2 new people we talk to a teach. Shay and Ty and L are refferal machines. We taught them the Plan of Salvation last time and they loved it! Ty and L and the little ones Crystal and Precious all want to be baptized!! We are so excited!

■ The temple was so special! As I was able to go through I could see as God sees and love as God loves. It was so cool to focus on how he sees and loves but so much more special when you feel it. As we sat in the Celestial Room of the Temple. I was reading in Doctrine and Covenants 101. WOW!! I'll I can say was it was revelatory! As I sat pondering I had an overwhelming feeling of God's love for each missionary in there with me. I could understand them. I felt pure love toward them. IT WAS JOYOUS!!

Im so sorry it's been 3 weeks. I have repented! I will try my best to write every week the rest of my mission. I want to take this opportunity to share how grateful I am for missioanry service! "Isss de best"

I had the realization so many times on my mission. THERE IS NOTHING ID RATHER BE DOING THEN SERVING MY HEAVENLY FATHER. NOTHING BETTER THEN LOVING ALL HIS CHILDREN, BRINGING THEM TO HIM! NOTHINGGGGG.

[HERES MY WORD VOMIT HAHA]

I want to invite any of you who have had a thought about a mission to serve. Those who are on missions think about others who may need to serve. Think about who you will he after mission. Those who are older and already served missions or maybe haven't. Ponder and re listen to General Conference! President Nelson has taught us there is nothing of greater importance or worth then gathering Israel! The time is NOW! not in a few minutes or next week or next year. It's now!! God needs all his sons and daughters and honestly we need them to strengthen the stakes of Zion. I call unto each of you to CHANGE!! it's ttime. We need to do this great work! This work that we have all been foreordained to do. This work in which our whole purpose of being on this earth is for. This work that will last eternity to eternity and will allow families to be together eternity to eternity! I ask you now to reflect on where you are!

Whether it be:

- Serving a mission

- busy with work and a family

- busy with school or athletics

- you're already "doing" missionary work

There's more we can do! I was re reading the whole Bible again before I finish my mission and I'm currently in Matthew chapter 25. There are 3 parables the Lord talks about. The parable of the ten virgins, the talents, and the sheep's and goats.

We are asked to have our lamps trimmed and with extra oil which entails us being more prepared then we were yesterday as well as helping those around us prepare themselves. " For the day of Salvation is soon at hand" next we learn of the talents we've been given. We should share those talents and use them! To benefit others. "When you're in the service of your fellow beings you're only in the service of your God" In turn you reap what you sow. He will pour blessing upon in ways that you wont be able to recieve them. Lastly the call is at the end of our lives at the time of judgment. It specifically says

Those who have served their fellow man will sit on His right hand representing Exaltation!

Friends and Family! You may ask what did that have to do with anything. It enlightens our minds of Christ Second coming. It teaches us how we can prepare! The main theme and focus I saw was turning outward in all things! THAT IS THE CHARACTER OF CHRIST! IF WE WANT TO BECOME LIKE HIM WE NEED TO FOLLOW HIS CHARACTER. I invite each of you to consider and ponder on a single person you can love this week. Then next week you may have the opportunity to share. If not love them again and again and again. I promise you in the name of Jesus Christ our master, if you take a name to the Lord and have plans on how you can love them, share with them, and invite them. I know that the Spirit of the Lord will impress upon your minds ways you bless them. It may be your plans it may be Unplanned opportunities for someone completely different. As we tune our celestial radio and submit to the Will of The Father! We will be directed to those that need our love! Those that need our help to prepare! Those that need our talents and gifts and to those that are lost and are ready to come home.

I love everything about my Savior! Im grateful for Him being my example! Im grateful for His love! I testify to you that HE LIVES! HE KNOWS YOU! HE NEEDS YOU! please come to him! Please follow Him and please help Him in the greatest thing this world has ever known,

□FOR HE IS ALWAYS YOKED WITH US! □ In the name of Jesus Christ AMEN.

I love you all!! Have the best week! I will write on Monday!! :)
