Dear Everyone,
The Book of Mormon is true! This
past week we had the mission president from the District videos that I had to
watch before I went out came and taught us some great things. Brother Donaldson
is his name. What stood out to me was pretty much how awesome and true the Book
of Mormon is. He titled it as the "Patriarchal Blessing of our day."
I'll explain that a little more in a bit. But he shared with us the
similarities of the Book of Mormon and Jesus Christ. Check this out:
When Christ died where was he put?
And where did Moroni put away the Gold plates? Both in a tomb like place
How did they both get out? An angel
moved the rock on Jesus' tomb and an angel helped Joseph Smith remove the stone
off of the plates
When Jesus died on the cross, there
were three apostles as a witness. Jesus also had his other 8 apostles (judas
was dead) who were His witnesses.
The Plates initially had three
witnesses, which later, there were another 8.
When Jesus resurrected, where did He
go? He got translated up to Heaven!
When Joseph Smith finished
translating the Book of Mormon, the Plates were translated up to heaven as
well!
Pretty Crazy stuff.
The reason he called it the
"Patriarchal Blessing of our time" is because of how he paralleled it
to the Restoration. I'm not going to go too in depth on this one but it starts
like this:
Jospeh Smith Sr.=Lehi
Joseph Smith = Nephi
Brigham Young = Mosiah
etc...
So after hearing all this mind
blowing stuff, I have decided to restart reading the Book of Mormon, but in
Spanish. I have been getting a lot out of it so far in these first few chapters
I have been getting a ton out of it. And in Spanish, so that's been awesome.
This past weekend we had a baptism,
yay! Victoria and Christian got baptized, Martin held off because he was
feeling really sick and he wanted it to be a good experience so we are doing
his baptism next week. Elder Ramos and I have been working really hard to find,
teach, and baptize and have some good things ahead. It's been pretty awesome
here, but I have a feeling this is going to be my last week in Boyle Heights,
so I am trying to enjoy it as much as I can!
Love you all!:)
