Dear Precious Gems Of God,

This week I can honestly testify that The Lord was with us this week in the vineyard. We worked honestly super hard and I don't even feel tired. Because the joy and the love I feel for this Gospel and the passion I have for this work, has filled my soul and has given me the energy to keep going every day. 

I know that the Lord loves his Children and they are all VERY precious to him. And I am honestly so grateful that I have been a first hand witness of it in all the all that we do and the people we come in contact with. 

The work is going forth and the work we do everyday is preparing for Christ's return. That is why it is SO important that  we strive to do all that we can to be EXACTLY obedient to all that God has asked us to do. So that way we can be worthy of the Spirit as we go throughout everyday.

I never want to live my life without his guidance in my life. I know that my Father in heaven and I made a plan for my life, as he did with all of us, as to what we were needing to accomplish to help to create the big picture he has created for us.

This Gospel is so DELICIOUS to me and I can't imagine my life without it. I know that I want my whole life to be a Christ Centered one. The joy I feel here is like how it says in Doctrine and Covenants 18: 10,15-16:

 10 Remember the worth of souls is great in the sight of God;

15 And if it so be that you should labor all your days in crying repentance unto this people, and bring, save it be one soul unto me, how great shall be your joy with him in the kingdom of my Father!

 16 And now, if your joy will be great with one soul that you have brought unto me into the kingdom of my Father, how great will be your joy if you should bring many souls unto me!

I know the Joy that is expressed in these passage. And as I have been here on my mission and as of recently while I have been in this area, that is the biggest message I have received, that this Gospel is not meant for just us to have and receive the blessings of. In fact, it is meant to be shared. That is one reason why we receive blessings in abundance, so we can share and share it will great excitement to others that The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the thing that will bring us the greatest happiness that we can receive. Not to mention the fulfillment that we matter.

That was a lesson I also learned this week as we met with one of our investigators again. That if we try to fill our life with people and things, they will not bring us happiness if they are of the world. But it is only through our Savior, that true happiness can begin to fill our lives and eventually be enveloped in the Love he has for us and has given everything possible for us. BECAUSE HE LOVES US.

 13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. *John 15:13

I know the Savior is ultimate example for everything. And so when we strive to become better, that is when we look to him and study about his life and what he taught through his actions and not his words. That is why we have chapter 6 in Preach My Gospel for Christlike Attributes. So can become like him. Because as we become like him, We are becoming like our Father In Heaven. And that is the ultimate goal why we are here. To become like our Father, who has given all to us to make us to have eternal happiness.

I know this Gospel is True. That Jesus the Christ. The Son of the Living God. And I pledge to Live my life to him. I love him with all my heart and the Love I have for him I know will grow stronger as I continue to do all that he asks of me. I know that the Savior suffered pains and afflictions of every kind so He could understand all that we go through every day. So when we face hardship, we then have a source to go to every single time to lift us from our sorrows and raise us to exaltation.

I know that He lives and because he lives, we too can live again with our Father in Heaven. WITH GREAT JOY!

I love you all and am so grateful for all that you do every day. Keep up the good work and remember He is always there. All you have to do is just go unto him and he will take care of the rest.

Love, Motra Bezas
