Sister Amanda Moser: Proclaiming Glad Tidings

August 22, 2022

This week was really good!! We were able to visit a lot of the people are teaching and get to help them understand more about Christ.

I had an opportunity to testify of Jesus Christ this week. Probably more than I have on my mission. I was on exchanges and we talked to a lady who went off about how the Book of Mormon does not testify of Christ. That only the Bible does. It was sad to hear that from her, but it was wonderful to testify of the truthfulness of Jesus Christ and how I have been able to see that in the Book of Mormon.

Sometimes weeks can get frustrating. Wards or areas can be frustrating, but this is the Lord's work. And "no uncalled hand can stop the work from progressing."

The end of our week was our friend Abe telling us that he didn't want to attach himself to a church. ouch. I have faced a lot of rejection out here, but the best part is that I know that I have done my best. Everyone has agency so they can either accept or reject this great message.

So an explanation on pic number 8. We were oym-ing in a trailer park and when I got back to the car I saw this band-aid on my shoe. Barf. And I had to take it off. There was no way I was going to keep it on my shoe.

This week I took a step back. My personal study was all over the place and I was jumping from one thing to the next. I started out in 3 Nephi 27. Christ established that this is His gospel. The literal meaning of gospel is "good news" or "glad tidings." So when we say that we teach the gospel of Jesus Christ we are actually saying the "glad tidings of Jesus Christ!!! Mind. Blown. It helped change the whole perspective or everything that we do. Remember that as representatives of Jesus Christ here on earth, we are to proclaim this great joy!!!

Final thought. We truly are a part of Christ's church. That this is the primitive church. As we were on exchanges, there were a whole bunch of nondenominational advertisements for their church. It was all about having a good time. Come enjoy some hotdogs and a raffle...etc. However, they said nothing....NOTHING about Jesus Christ. I thought it was so sad. I am so grateful to be a part of a church that is all about Jesus Christ :)

Remember that God loves you

I love you I love you I love you

This is the way
