Meeting Apostles

Hey y'all,

This week is gonna be short.

Yeah it was awesome when Elder Rasband came, and I shook his hand and looked into his eyes, along with 3 other members of the 70. Wow I felt dwarfed by the spiritual giants in there!!

The coolest thing I saw and heard all week is what Elder Rasband said. He told us that he was there to meet with the President of Nicaragua, Daniel Ortega, then with a twinkle in his eye he said "And we are going to preach to him Jesus Christ" if you want to appreciate that, study about the history of Nicaragua Government for about 30 seconds...

Other than that kind of a rough week, we improved and progressed some and found new people, unfortunately none of them want to go to church, members included... sad day on Sunday but onward ever onward!

I truly do love this gospel the opportunity that we have to listen to Apostles and Prophets here on the earth. You don't have to meet one to know they are men of God, likewise you don't have to go to Hill Cumorah or Nauvoo or Palmyra to know Joseph Smith is a prophet. You just got to read the Book of Mormon and pray with faith. That is all, the gospel is perfect and simple and I love it!

Love you all Love Elder Morrison

Here is a note Logan wrote about honesty I thought I would share:

Often times life is hard and we have trials, but I have been learning about the life of Gordon B Hinkley and he was know for his optimism and cheer.

One key to honesty is humility, and humility is not what I thought, being weak. It is in fact a submission to a greater power God, it is the humble that the Lord can make powerful. Read Ether 12:27, humility lets us use Gods grace and confront and overcome problems. We don't have to deceive others or ourselves, the opposite with cheer and optimism we can accept and admit the truth and let the Lord help us in marvelous and miraculous ways. He WANTS to help you, he WANTS you to be strong, and he WILL help you and make you strong if we are honest with him and others, that is when the Atonement of Christ can take away all pain and sorrow.

Love you all so much. I heard something else about President Hinckley, he said to a group of youth, "You can forget everything I tell you today, but do not forget this: That I Love You" God loves you and wants to help you, he sent his son to save you John 3:16
