Hiking today! (Lvlnd pt2 wk#24)

Hey all!

I'm alive! Just didn't have any time to be online. I went on a hike in the Rocky Mountain national park at 5am and got back at 4. Long day! I have a short message...

We got a new investigator this week: Jared, a friend of Chris (he was baptized in Longmont the same day as Kellen 2 weeks ago, but is graduated from high school so has come to the YSA now!). We met up with him 2x this week and he is actually interested! They weren't sure because he first came to support Chris at his baptism. At the end of our first visit with him we told him to be careful of what he reads on the church online. Interestingly he said, "Your church now has over 15 million members, right? My church (the United Methodist Church) went below 15 million members in the last year. There must be something to the growth of your church while mine is dying."

He is right. The Book of Mormon really is another Testament of Jesus Christ. The church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is the original restored church. It has the apostles, it has the authority, it has current revelation from God, it has the first principles and ordinances of the Gospel, it has focus on the family unit, and it has the ordinances for deceased ancestors. And we can know by reading the Book of Mormon.

I love Jesus Christ and am humbled and grateful to be a representative of Him today helping people come to Him.

Have a great week!
