That is Why I Know - 10/2/12

Dear Family,

Sorry about the delay. The internet at the church was down yesterday and of course it was a holiday so non of the internet Cafes were open.

This week was a pretty standard week of missionary work. We are working with some people who are working for baptism on October 20th. That is pretty cool I just love when the Lord blesses us with sweet investigators. I have been pretty lucky on my mission to work with a lot of prepared people. I am pretty pumped for General Conference!

That is pretty great that Jake was baptized. That would be a great family added in the Ward.

Nothing hunting huh? well thats got to change. Is there still a lot of bears around? I am pretty excited to get in on the next hunting season. I hear Nathan has done a little more then hunting though. Is he really getting serious with this girl haha

I keep in touch with Elder Jeppson, Elder Dustin, and Elder Berry a little. It gives me a good boost to see that they are doing well. I am also doing well dont worry mom. I love my mission even though it is super hard sometimes I love it, and I love the Lord. It is crazy to me to see the scriptures come to life as I try and apply them in my life. I The Words of Christ tell us all things. How we obtain the Word is by living it, then we can declare it and not be confounded before men. Effectively studying the Gospel of Jesus Christ will change a man faster then any other thing. That is why I know that the Book of Mormon is true and it comes from God. And that is why I know that Joseph Smith is a Prophet. And that is why I know that this is Gods Church on earth. And that is why I am on my mission, talking to tons of complete strangers everyday.

Love
Elder Hartshorn
