This week I just want to start off my expressing my love for the Saviour Jesus Christ. I know that he came to earth to atone for my sins and shortcomings. I know that he did feel all of my pains in the garden of Gethsemane. He literally gave his life in the benefit of all of us. So when life gets tough, fall on your knees and I can promise you will feel your burdens being lightened.
My mum sent me an Easter package that arrived this past week full of candies and sweets. As well as a talk that Elder Jeffery R. Holland gave in 2000 entitled The Miracle of a Mission. I hope that anyone that is considering to serve a mission or has ever thought about it to read it. It has made me realise just how much trust the Lord has put in his 18-30 year olds across the world. To wear his name upon your shirts and be a living day representative of him who came down for us. Greater joy and of no great importance than is it to preach the gosple. For 2 years or 18 months we are set a part from the world. To live our lifes as best as we can. I have grown and changed so much in the mission field. My ways are now his ways, and my thoughts his thoughts. I am forever greatful for the lessons I am learning out here in the mission field.
Last Monday after emailing we were walking throught town centre eating our Micky D's and I notice a man with a shirt on that said the Book of Mormon I enquiered of him. He said that is was from the Book of Mormon musical. He started asking us questions and agreed to set up another time. So we ended up seeing him 3 times last week!! he is such a great person and so full of questions and wants to know how a believe in God can help him out. You could call this a Book of Mormon mucical miracle!
On Saturday before we went to see your book of mormon musical friend we had a few extra mmintues so we decided to knock a few doors. The last one a man opened we told him who we were and in the background we here oh my I want to talk to them! This university aged girl comes to the door and proceeds to tell us her friend just got home from his mission in London. And invited us in to have as she put it a mormon talk. It was such a miracle that when we give it our all the Lord blesses us then. we don't receive a witness until after the trial of our faith.
I love you all have a great week,
Love Elder Hammond
