Tracting and Testimony

It's been another week!  Ups and downs and lefts and rights, and a woefully inadequate email to convey it all. 

 

It's been a week of heavy tracting, we average 2-5 hours a day.  I'm pretty sure it builds character or something?  Furthermore, it started raining this week, so it's a different experience than what I've gotten used to, but it's actually a welcome change.  Light rain is pretty comfortable tracting weather, plus we get sympathy on doorsteps.  haha. :)

 

We have 2 possible baptisms this week: Roger if he has recovered from his surgery enough to comfortably go into the font, and Emily if her family can get here.

 

We had a fireside in Gig Harbor last night!  It was loverly :)  I dont know how long I've known the song Amazing Grace, but singing it as a full-time representative of Jesus Christ made it meaningful to me for the first time.  It's hard not to cry when I sing it, when I realize that I really mean these words and it comes from my heart. 

 

I tend to write these emails pretty light-heartedly, and I think I kinda briefly touch on the more spiritual parts of my life, and then continue to talk about the stuff that doesn't matter very much.  I dont know why I do this, but it's just what I do. :)

 

But I want to take a moment and testify of Jesus Christ.  I know without a shadow of a doubt that he is my Savior, and I know that he is the Christ.  I have felt his undeniable presence in my life, and will never be able shy away from that fact again.  I know that the Son of God came to earth, and lived his life for us, and gave his life for us, so that we can overcome both death and sin.  His Gospel is the one and only way to true happiness, and there is no substitute.  

 

If anyone is reading this and does not know the same things, I beg you to read the Book of Mormon.  The Book of Mormon testifies of Jesus Christ, and Prophets have PROMISED us that anyone who reads and prays about the Book of Mormon with a sincere heart and real intent, will gain a witness of the Lord Jesus Christ.  If that promise was not true, and infallible, I would not be on a mission right now. 

 

Sincerely, Elder Chase Lonas
