Monday January 9, 2012

Thank you for all the support and love. I can really feel the strength of your prayers and thoughts. Your encouraging words go a long way for me. Thank you.
I am glad the Alta's passing was pleasant. It made me realize that she is now experiencing the spirit world that I teach and testify of. As that thought came to me, it removed the sorrow and filled me with joy for her.
This week was good, especially yesterday. I really got what I was here for. For a moment everything of life, the Gospel, family, love, and kindness, all of it made perfect sense and there was this power over me that made me feel that there was no need for me to ever do anything wrong again. Of course I slipped up and it didn't last, but the impression it left on me will last forever. It all started when 2 of our investigators didn't come to church. Instead, he attended another church. Yikes. So we went and visited him and ended up spending like an hour and a half there. We went through all kinds of things but at the end he truly understood that if the Book of Mormon was true then this was it and he ended our meeting with a prayer. Probably the most sencer prayer I have pretty much ever heard. It was during our testimonies and that prayer the the Spirit lifted me to such great heights. I know that this is the gospel of Christ and the only way to our Heavenly Father. I love you and everything is great. We had a really good week and another one coming. Also, I get to go to the temple this week. Y'all are awesome. Love ya.
Love,
Elder Hurst
