About a month ago I challenged myself to read the entire Book of Mormon before I entered the MTC. It started out as a challenge, but then I found myself not wanting to stop at just 16 pages a day. I felt a deep love for that book for the first time in my life. I'd read it several times before, but never has it meant so much to me as it does now. As I read it, I tried to read it from an investigator's point of view and it made a world of a difference. And once again without fail, as I read Moroni 10, the Spirit made it clear in my mind and in my heart that this book is true. In just a couple days I will be challenging others to read it for themselves to find out if it's true. I testify that if you ask God with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ, He will manifest the truth of it unto you by the power of the Holy Ghost (Moroni 10:4-5). This church is true, people! If you have not already read the Book of Mormon cover to cover, I STRONGLY encourage you to do so! It has changed my life completely.
It's so hard to believe I'm going to leave behind my family and all personal affairs to serve the Lord in just a day, but I cannot wait! I know the Lord is just waiting to bless me and the investigators I will come in contact with! I will probably be quite homesick sometimes so letters/emails would be MUCH appreciated :) My contact info is under the "Contact Info" tab, but I'll post it on here as well :)
I am so privileged to be able to send weekly emails to family AND friends! My email is jessica.fife@myldsmail.net.
