Hello my Brother's and Sisters! I rejoice with you in the
Gospel and Doctrine of Christ! I want to thank you for what you do, but mostly
for who you are.
I know it's been a while since I wrote to y'all last. Sorry
about that. This week has bee. Awesome, so let's hop right in.
We had many great lessons this week with some incredible people.
We finished teaching Kamber the lessons and reviewed the baptismal interview
questions so that she was ready for her interview. We also set 2 more baptismal
dates! One is with a man named Veeto, and the second is with an awesome young
man named Mark. We had incredible lessons with both of them and they are both
set to be baptized on the 22nd of September! Woot Woot!
This week we also had zone conference and that was great.
President Hansen instructed us on the importance of keeping the law of Chastity
and how that can bless us so much in this life. It was really inspiring. We
were also instructed on what we can do to help our people being taught come to
church.
One funny thing that happened this week was when we went and
got corn dogs from sonic. It's close to the end of the month and the 4 Elders
here were broke, but we heard that sonic had their 50 cent corn dog deal. So we
broke out the piggy banks and started counting change. It was really funny 😂
Preparing for Kamber's baptism was kinda stressful, but we
got it all done. The Baptism on Satuday was amazing!!! It was such a spiritual
experience. It was very humbling being able to Baptize Kamber and help her get
started on her journey along the Covenant path. It is days like these that we
remember for the eternities.
I was also given the opportunity to talk in church on Sunday
about obedience to the Commandments of God. As I studied for the talk I was
reminded again about the critical need we have to obey the Commandments to live
the happy and blessed life. Obedience brings blessings. The greater obedience
on our part the more blessed and happy we are.
A Commandment that I want to highlight with you all is the
commandment that we study our scriptures Daily, especially the Book of Mormon.
Through the voice of President Thomas S. Monson the Lord declared that "We
must read the Book of Mormon everyday everyday everyday." The Promised
blessings that will come into our life if we do so are...
1. we will be in a position to hear the voice of the
Spirit.
2. We will have Greater ability to resist temptation.
3. we will be able to overcome doubt and fear.
4. We will be able to receive heaven’s help in our lives.
Those are 4 incredible promises that will come into our
lives as we simply pray and read from the Book of Mormon.
I know that the Book of Mormon is the word of God. I love
reading it, and feeling the peace it brings into my heart. If you are not
reading it, I would ask that you start reading. Start today and begin a new
chapter in your relationship with God.
Thanks for the prayers everyone. Please keep praying for us
out here.
I love y'all!
Y'all stay blessed where ever y'all are!
Sincerely,
Elder Skyler Glen Larsen

I hope he didn't eat those by himself :)
