A cool story that I forgot to tell from last week is when we were invited into a house while a Adventist Priest was preaching. The Adventist church is a branch broken off from The church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints. Elena G de White (A former member of the church who left) is one of the very famous "Prophets" of this church because of many "Visions" that she received. These people know the bible very well so you already know you're gonna be Bible bashing with them. It was weird sitting in the room while the Priest was going on about weird Doctrine. One lady asked a question to the preacher. She said, "What happened to the children who die before they are baptized?" The preacher Literally said that this kids are not saved in the kingdom of God and then he shared this scripture with her (1 Corinthians 4:5). I was like WHAT THE!?!?. I don't think I ever flipped open Moroni 8 faster in my life! I wanted to explode and tell her that NO! These children are living on the right hand of God! She was not convinced at all with the answer that the priest gave. I was really mad afterwards because we didn't answer the question of the Lady. We did however get a return appointment with the family of the house that we were all met in. We have been teaching them ever since and they are starting to read in the Book of Mormon. We are going to help them find all the answers to these questions from their hearts. This experience helped me to recognize that THE BOOK OF MORMON is the KEY to answer ALL of your QUESTIONS of your SOUL. All the other sects and religions don't have that! This is the true church after all! Just one thing that I would want you all to take away from reading this is that YOU NEED TO GET TO KNOW THE BOOK OF MORMON. There are so so so many members that truly do not know the Book of Mormon. Know it To the point where you can answer even the toughest of questions that people have in this life. AND THEN STUDY MORE! This is how you will bring others to the truth. Bearing your testimony to these people is sweet, but being able to answer the questions of those who are looking for answers in their lives and testifying of the truthfulness of these things is sweeter. The first thing that you need to do is understand for yourself and then go out and help others understand, because God will be with you. That's a scriptural Promise (D&C 11:21).
START THE JOURNEY TO GET TO KNOW THE BOOK OF MORMON. SET GOALS AND PLANS TODAY TO START READING IT ON A DAILY BASIS. I CAN¨T EXPRESS TO YOU GUYS ENOUGH THROUGH EMAIL THE JOY THAT COMES FROM BEING ABLE TO ANSWER THE QUESTIONS OF PEOPLE AND SEEING THEIR EYES AND HEARTS START TO OPEN. PRAY AND ASK GOD CONTINUALLY FOR OPPORTUNITIES TO SHARE WHAT YOU´VE LEARNED WITH SOMEONE TO HELP AND BRING THEM TO THE TRUTH. OUR HEAVENLY FATHER NEEDS YOUR HELP TO GO FIND HIS LOST CHILDREN. GOD WILL USE YOU AS INSTRUMENTS IN HIS HANDS!
Love you guys! Hope you see a lot of Miracles this week!
Love, Elder Horton
