Two Apostles in a Row

Okay, I have about 8 minutes to write this email. The time flies here! What happened this week? Well, last Tuesday Elder Richard G. Scott came and spoke to us! Wow, it was amazing. He basically gave us a proclamation to the world on personal revelation. We got a handout afterward. It is like everything that he has learned in his life about prayer on a double-sided piece of paper. It's definitely something I'll hold close to me for the rest of my life. We are some uplifted and inspired here. At the end he said, "I'm going to say this not as Elder Scott, but as an Apostle of the Lord Jesus Christ. If there is nothing else you remember from this, remember that I know that Jesus Christ lives. I know this because I know Him." It was so powerful. What an honor it is to learn at the feet of Apostles of the Lord.

 

The week flew by as they all do. The crazy thing is, it is said, that the time spent in the MTC is the longest part of your mission. The rest is going to be gone in the blink of an eye. I'm determined to work as hard as I can everyday and really make the best out of it. I want to have no regrets. I heard an awesome analogy on Sunday. Imagine you had unlimited gold coins to give out to people. Would you keep them to yourself? Would you look at some people and think "oh, they probably wouldn't like gold?" Do you think when you offered it to them they would turn it down? Would that stop you from offering it? They would probably want to know why you're giving it to them and probably wouldn't believe it to be real at first. We would ask them to take it and have it tested because we know it really is. Having the knowledge of the restored Gospel of Jesus Christ is like that. We need to share. Time is up. I love you all. I know that Christ lives. Thanks for your support.

 

Let your light shine,

Elder Jonathan D.C. Mahoney
