Week 44 Power of the Priesthood

Well this week we have had some experiences that are truly beautiful.  But first let me explain what the title means; Priesthood.  The power of the Priesthood is the God given power the we have here on the earth, through this power we have the ability to bless the sick and afflicted, give blessings of counsel and baptism in the name of our Saviors Jesus Christ.  this power was given to the apostles of Jesus Christ when he was on the earth, with this power they worked their Miracles! when all of apostles died there was no priesthood power on the earth!  for a very long time there was lots of confusion and sadness, because the true church of Chirst was lost.  But one day in the year 1820 a young 14 year old boy named Joseph Smith wanted to know which of all the churches was the true church of Christ.  So he went to a grove of trees and prayed with all the faith that he had. Because of that humble pray it was reveled to him 2 personages, God the Father and his son, our Savior Jesus Christ. Joseph Smith was told by them that none of the churches on the earth has the fulness of the gospel.  Through Joseph Smith the Priesthood was restored on the earth once again and the Gospel Of Jesus Christ was brought back in its true form and fulness. 

   I testify of this experience because i have prayed on my knees like Joseph, i have cried unto my father in heaven with all the faith that i had and I HAVE RECEIVED MY ANSWER; that This IS the true church and we have this power on the earth today.  This is what I teach each day!!! It is true and I can truely testify of that! 

this week we have the opportunity to bless many people with the gift and power from God.  The spirit helps us and guides us to say the things that the Lord wants us to say.  It is truly an amazing experience every time. The peace that is felt is amazing. 

   i am grateful to be a worthy holder of this power, to use it in the name of my Savior. I have that power and every worthy man that is part of the Church of Jesus Christ has it too. Bless your families. 

 We have a had a super fun time getting to know the members better! this week we worked really hard! we are visiting more members and helping them out and they are giving us references and so thats super cool! we are having great relationships with the members, I love it sooo much!!!  the sisters in my district had a baptism and that was super good too! then on sunday we had ward conference and so that was super good! the members here in this ward and so awesome!! i love it!
