Amazed!!!!

I am just so amazed at the spirit and its role in our lives. I was thinking about it the other night and I figure it must just be soooo incredible for the people we teach to feel the spirit for the first time. The feelings the spirit invites into our lives are just so amazing. Sometimes, as members, we take that relationship for granted. The people we teach must just love it. I’ve seen people change everything just to feel those same feelings again and sometimes we, as members struggle to change the little things to have the spirit with us more. I love the spirit and it truly is a great comforter for me. It is worth changing everything to be able to have those feelings all the time. I so grateful that President Tervort has taught us so much about the importance of the spirit. He told me once that most people just talk about ¨God, Jesus Christ, and...the other guy.¨ The spirit’s role in our lives is just as important to us as God and Christ’s role. We need the spirit for guidance in following the commandments of God and to even know He exists, we need the spirit. For the Atonement to take full affect in our lives, we need the purifying power of the Holy Ghost to cleanse us. I love being a missionary and feeling the spirit every day, but I love even more helping other people feel the spirit. It is incredible. The Church of Jesus Christ has been restored by a prophet of God. The Book of Mormon is true. Thomas S Monson leads the church today as a prophet. God loves us, we are His children and Jesus Christ truly suffered for us that we might live. I know all of this with all of my heart, because the Holy Ghost has born witness of these truths to me many times. I love you all so much!!! Thanks for everything you do and all of your prayers for me!
