Ya know I am still in Woodbridge, right? - Week 20 - Monday, February 20, 2017

​Man time is really starting to fly by out here in the mission place. Me and my comp are enjoying the Woodbridge and basically living in the trailer parks. It is great. I love it. So a few weeks ago me and my old comp talked to this guy on the street. He was homeless and trying to sell his video games for money. His daughter was in the hospital or something. It sounded really sad. He had a bunch of other stuff not going good for him too. So me Elder Lucero were walking to this guys house and we ran into the same guy. Apparently he got a house because this time he was just looking for 25 dollars so he could pay his rent. He is basically like a missionary but instead of talking to people about Christ he asks them for jobs. He literally goes door to door to ask people if he can to anything for them to get paid. He talks to everyone too. If this guy was a missionary he would be a solid missionary. 

So I was reading the Book of Mormon this morning. I was reading in Alma 5. Verse 14 might be my favorite verse in that whole chapter. It asks 3 very simple questions, but these 3 questions are questions that I think every person should ask themselves before they die and also try and answer them. I tried to answer them this morning and it was kind of hard. I feel like I have so much futher to go. This transfer has been trying for me so far, but for different reasons. There will always be challenges in our lives, but if we can answer the three question in Alma 5:14 then everything else will be okay and we do not need to worry because we have learned to trust in God and have been changed by him. I challenge you lovely people to check it out and try and answer the questions. Then see where you need to improve because that is what I did this moroning and I am very excited to see what happens and if I can improve. 

Love you all! Northern Virginia could never be any better!

Questions in Alma 5:14

And now behold, I ask of you, my brethren of the church, have ye spiritually been born of God?

Have ye received his image in your countenances?

Have ye experienced this mighty change in your hearts?
