Because of Him

Hola a todos:))

Okay so this week wasn't that much better than the week before, lol. We didnt have anyone show up to church yesterday and we didnt give out any BOMs either. But that just means that we have a whole other week to improve! We all have weeknesses and we fall short, but thanks to our wonderful Savior Jesus Christ we have the opportunity to repent and improve every day! And thank goodness because without repentence we wouldnt be able to progress or most importantly return to live with Heavenly Father after this life. And it is all thanks to JESUS CHRIST. And so there might just be a reason why there are TWO books that only talk about HIM, why He's important, and what He did before, during, and what He will do after this life. I love that BECAUSE OF HIM we have this opportunity to live, to change, to start over and over, to die, and to live again. And I dont know if there is one thing I have learned more than this on my mission but that He is our Savior and Reedemer. Without Him we wouldn't live and we wouldnt live again. There's a reason that you hear His name almost everywhere you go and so many testimonys of His love and miracles... BECAUSE HE IS THE ONLY PERSON WHO LIVED, TOOK UPON HIM THE YOUR SINS AND THE SINS OF THE WORLD, ENDURED COUNTLESS PAIN, AGONY, AND TORTURE, WHO DIED, AND WHO ROSE AGAIN. 

AND BECAUSE HE LIVES...

YOU AND I WILL LIVE AGAIN. 

And if you doubt what I say here's a video to help you. And if after that you STILL doubt, there is only one thing you can do: Get on your knees and ask. Maybe you'll feel silly and you'll probably feel like its pointless.. but if there is one thing I know its that you cant get anywhere or do anything if you never TRY. 

www.lds.org/youth/video/because-of-him?lang=eng

I KNOW HE LIVES. I KNOW HE LOVES. ME AND EACH ONE OF YOU. I KNOW THAT BECAUSE OF HIM THE UNTHINKABLE WILL HAPPEN. THAT THE UNTHINKABLE HAS HAPPENED TO ME IN MY LIFE AND I AM ONLY ONE PERSON OUT OF TRILLIONS. CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT IM THE ONLY PERSON THAT GOD WANTS TO TALK TO? NO. YOU ARE HIS CHILD. HIS DEAR, DEAR SON OR DAUGHTER. AND HE IS WAITING TO HEAR FROM YOU EVERY MOMENT IN EVERY DAY. 

SO GIVE IT A TRY,

OR YOU'LL SPEND YOUR ENTIRE LIFE WONDERING, "What if...?" 

Con todo de mi alma, corazón, y testimonio,

Hola todos!

FELIZ CUMPLEAÑOS A: 

Ryan

Ronnie and 

Marshall- Good luck on your behind the wheel! I'll make sure to pray for you! And dont be nervous! You're super brilliant and you're gonna do just fine:)

Okay so this week wasnt very exciting until yesterday. we have just been looking and looking for more people to teach and we havent really found any good ones... but, "Theres always tomorrow for dreams to come true..." Thats a song just so everyone can sing that part in their head:) Ive also never been so tired in my life... but thats missionary work for ya! I feel like a completely different person, hahaha. And maybe I am... Im going to be 20 this year- YIKES! And on friday of this week Im going to be out for 6 months on my mission! Can you believe it?! And on my birthday Im going to have 9!!!!! Crazy how fast time flies...

Anyways so yesterday was pretty awesome! Do you guys remember that older-aged man who didnt use to pray? Yeah so he wasnt progressing very much and was on vacation so we didnt see him for quite awhile. But all the sudden he called us to set up an appointment. And for the first time he read from the Book of Mormon form the beginning. All by himself! And we invited him to church and he was a little hesitant but gave us a firm yes. And he came to church! But more than that, the Elders in our ward had a baptism yesterday and we invited him to stay but he didnt want to. But my companion asked me if we could show him the baptismal font and I said why the heck not? So we showed him the baptismal font and he asked us a ton of questions and later said, "fine Ill stay." And he stayed for the whole thing and asked a ton more questions and everything! And we have invited him to baptized before but he said no. And my companion invited him again to be baptized afterward and he said,"No... well, you never know what can happen tomorrow..." But with all these small yet significant changes I know hes going to get baptized any day now:) He may be stubborn but God is SUPER patient and insitant hahaha. 

Well I dont have much time today but I hope you all know how much I love you and how much I am learning and experiencing here in Chile. My testimony has grown a ton and it continues to grow every day. And I now know how strong a testimony can be if we use the authority that we have as member missionarys. Heavenly Father gives us all a power and authority to share the gospel, all we have to do is use it. And trust that He will follow up on His part. Even if the people we invite reject us, at least we planted a seed, and who knows what might happen later on...

I know this Gospel is true and God is real. That the Book of Mormon is the word of God and that Joseph Smith was a true prophet. He saw God and Jesus Christ and he restored the fullness of His gospel in our time. 

With all my love,

A New Year

Letter from January 5, 2015

Hola hola hola!

Happy New Year everyone:))) 2015, WHHHHAAATTT??????

Wait whhhhaaaattttt why is there snow in Temecula? And not even like a little but a LOT!!!!!! I cant believe it!!!! Like I literally cant believe it! Especially because summer is starting here and its getting hotter and hotter in the day. But woooooooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwww! Lol. Temecula is changing! Haha!

Okay so this week for New Years we had the same options like we did for christmas. We could eat dinner with a family and stay with them until 11pmat night. And at midnight we could go outside in our front yard and watch the fireworks... but our new years wasnt really like that. We ate dinner super early, like at 8:30 and so we were in our house by 10:30 and then we slept. Hahaha we didnt hear anything of music or fireworks. Haha! So that was my new year:) 

Also I dont know if you guys know this, but our key indicators have changed in the mission. Now we only have three things to plan for instead of like 12. We are focusing on these three things: baptisms, BOMs, and how many people asisted sacrament meeting. Usually we plan daily for lessons, new investigators, and all that but now, no. Its wiiiieeerrrrdd. Because we are like going against Preach my Gospel ahaha. But at the same time I love it because we are focusing more on baptism, retaining, and reactivating. All at the same time, all the time. And especially we are finding more less actives who have recieved their endowments. So in this way we are changing and making new goals for this year as a church! Becuase the First Presidency changed this, not us. And I love that we have a modern day prophet to guide us in these latter days!!!!!!

Also recently we had transfers and luckily my hija stayed with me:) So we have a new transfer to work hard in these indicators and with our ward:)

Also..... This chica finished the BOM in spanish! From cover to cover! And now I have started it again:) And I love in our mission we get a new BOM from President every three months with a new key to mark certain themes. Which I love, love, looooovveee. And we also got one in english so Im going to be reading them both together! I love the BOOOKK OF MORMOOONN:)))

Well I hope you all are loving this new year and are setting achievable goals that your going to complete! I dont really have set personal goals, only with my companion and as a missionary... but heres some things I need to work on:

1. Be more patient (funny how this seems to always be my goal.... ahahahaha) with the people here in chile and teach more with love and less of telling them to just cut the crap hahaha.

2. Be more obedient. Especially with time, sometimes we are a few minutes late, or something like that which I need to work on. Also, Chileans talk a TOOOONN and that is not an understatement. So we have to learn how to make lessons shorter so we can work more effeciently. 

3. WRITE IN MY JOURNAL DAILY!!! I dont know why this is always such a struggle for me! But by golly Im gonna do it! 

Well I think that is about all I can handle hahaha. Pray for me that I can improve in these things!

Well I love you all and know that God is watching over you and blessing you while I am away doing His errand! 

WITH ALL MY LOVE,

Hna Logan

Happy New Year!

Hola hola hola!!!

Okay so it was sooooo awesome to see you guys for christmas! And I love that with the technology today I could see Raechel and Devon, Andrew and Ashley, and Ronnie (I think I saw like half of Marshall's face,too hahaha)! I have to admit it was really wierd to talk to you guys, too. Especially in english! WOW, super wierd hahahaha. But it really made my christmas! Plus the family that we were with have a daughter in Brazil on her mission and she called them for skype while they were cooking our lunch, so of couse my companion and I told them to move aside and that we'll cook while they talk to their daughter. And the mom handed me a christmas apron! And I dont know why but then it really felt like christmas hahaha. Cooking with a christmas apron:) 

Basically I love you all toooooooonnnnnsssss and thanx for making me cry hahahaha. 

Well this past saturday we had a baptism of a nine year-old girl named Antonia. It was all kind of rushed because her mom is a member, but kind of a less-active. She works 14 days up north per month and the rest she has off. So she can asist 2 times a month. But she only asists 1 time a month because she wants to rest on the other sunday. Which made it really hard for he daughter to get baptized because she needs 3 attendences (is that okay? I cant even speak English anymore hahaaha I had to search for this word in my dictionary because I couldnt for the life of me remember it in English but it still doesnt sound right hahahaha) in order to get baptized. But its more complicated than that. If she gets baptized on the third sunday that she attends she has to wait 2 more weeks for the gift of the holy ghost... which we prefer not to do because its just bad to wait that long. So our Zone Lider called our mission president to ask if she could get baptized with 2 attendences. And he said yes! So woohhooo we had a baptism this weekend! Buuuuuut we still have to work with the mom. Because she doesnt have a very strong testimony and she cares more for money and those things of the world more than the blessings of the Lord. And she thinks that after baptism, its over.... WRONG! But hey, we have the Lord on our side, so I know it will all work out:)

Also, I am going to finish the BOM in spanish on wendsday. It only took me an infinity to get this far ahahaha. But Im super excited that Im going to finish it for the first time super soon! 

Well I love you guys with all my heart and I know that God is watching over you and blessing you immensly. I know sometimes we cant recognize them but they're there. As long as we are obedient he blesses us. And I know that we all have trials and challenges for a reason. Because if we dont have them, we cant progress. We would stay in one state forever. Never improving, learning, or growing. And so now I can understand a little bit more what they mean when they say, "Love your trials" or, "Come what may and Love it" because every trial that we conquer we get one step closer to God. One step closer to being stronger and perfect. And thats why we're here on earth. To test our faith. And how can our faith be tested if we never have trials? I have learned that when we have trials we need to pray a little harder, read a little more, SEARCH for the Lord in every moment to help you. And He will. I have no doubt about this. Sometimes we have to sacrifice a little bit more, give EVERY LAST BIT OF OURSELVES to Him. And eventually in His own time He will bless us. And I have been SO blessed! I have an AMAZING family and friends! And most importantly I have had the opportunity to know and be apart of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I know its true. With every fiber of my being and every day I know it a little bit more. God knows you! He knows how you feel and what you need. And He is searching for ways to bless you everyday. 

Tengan un día tan bonita y llena con el espíritu de Dios. 

Les AMOOOOOOOOOO,

Hermana Logan

Feliz Navidad!

Letter from December 23, 2014

Hola familia y amigos!

Are you all stoked for Christmas? I know I am! I love that this time of year we have the oportunity to talk with everyone about our Savior Jesus Christ. I love that during this time the people are a little more open to listening to us; a little more sensitive to this theme. Its pretty beautiful.

Anyways... I learned something this week:) I learned that the power of a testimony is huge. That really when we testify, there is nothing that the people can say to contradict us. For example: Yesterday we ran into a guy who says hes christian but we are pretty sure hes Evagelical. And he wanted to talk with us, but only to Bible bash. Granted, he isnt one to raise his voice or anything, but still he just wanted to contradict, or confuse us. But to every question we had an answer and then he would change the subject all of a sudden, lol. And after about 20mins of our time we told him we needed to go. But during this time neither of us had testified to him of these things. And I remembered the promise we have that when we testify no one can contradict us. That we can bring the spirit and we wont be confounded before men, but our words will counfound the wise. And so I testified to him. And he couldnt say anything. And then my companion testified and it was like, I dont know. He was definitely confounded. And I learned, well more like solidified, my testimony of this promise. That the prophet and the 12 apostles have given us. And it doesnt matter who comes to me and tries to convince me of thier beliefs or change mine. It doesnt matter. Because what we have learned according to the spirit, we cant deny. And NOBODY can take it away from us. And I think I understand a little bit more of how Joseph Smith felt after his vision. That thousands of people tried to tell him that what he saw was false, that he was wrong, confused, disilussioned. But he KNEW it. And he KNEW that God KNEW it. And he COULD NOT DENY IT. And now I really KNOW that its true. That what the Spirit testifys to us brings us the absolute truth. And when we know and feel this truth in our hearts and souls, we cant deny it. And people can try to take it away, but they cant. And thats the power of God. Of the Spirit. Of a testimony. 

I know Christ was born. That he suffered. He died. And then he rose again. I know that He LIVES. That he has come. AND HE WILL COME AGAIN. I know that what I know was given to me by the Spirit. And I CANNOT and I WILL NOT deny it. 

BECUASE HE IS THE GIFT.

I love you all and I look forward to seeing my wonerful family in two days!!!

Con todo mi corazon y amor,

Angels We have Heard on High

Letter from December 15, 2014

Hola todos! 

Okay so I LOOOOOOVVVVEEEDDD your video of everyone and with Jen, how cool! It made my day to see you all together!!! A little wierd that Jen was with my family and not me hahahahaha. No it was super awesome! I love you all SSSSSSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOO much! Glad you got to see each other one more time before Christmas:) BUT A LITTLE BIRDY TOLD ME YOU ATE PRIME RIB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN ALL OF YOU! 

Also, Okay I totally forgot what I was going to say here.... LOL

Aha! I remembered! I would like you all to take a moment of silence for all the spiders I have killed this month.... NOT! Literally spiders are taking over our house! We find a minimum of ten everyday! And our house is falling apart so they come in from all different places! Last night we were talking with our District Leader and telling him about our day when all of a sudden I saw something moving in the corner of my eye. So I look over and its a tiny little spider. But as I looked more closely I realized that our entire wall was COVERED with baby spiders! We may have had quite a go at them with our poison spray! But we have yet to find the Mom and thats what worries me! And these spiders are deadly. If they bite you, you can die. So we talked with the Pensionero (guy who takes care of the houses for our mission) and he said we can start looking for a different house. Thank goodness! The other day I found a spider under my shoe in my room and it was HUGE. LIKE SIZE OF MY PALM HUGE. So be proud of me, lol. Luckily I have a good eye for spiders (thanks to the training of Raechel for many years:)) so I can spot them pretty well. But still.... were gonna get a different house to live in...

Anyways... Besides the spiders, this week was awesome! One day we were talking outside with an investigator and as we were leaving there was this depressed man sitting on a bench talking to himself ( Just a normal day in my area) When all of sudden he calls us over to him. He tells us that he is sick. Because he is an alcoholic.And we are his angels sent from God to help him. So a couple days later we went to house and he has a real desire to change is life. So we invited him to be baptized on the 28th of December and he commited to coming to church.  And he came yesterday! It was awesome! And he hasnt taken a drink of alcohol since tuesday! So we are really hoping he will take the initative to get help proffesionally and not only spiritually. I think he can do it! He just needs a lot of prayer and support! So if you would like to put him in your prayers that would be great:) 

And there arent any updates on the 69 year old. He didnt show up to church yesterday but we're going to see him on wedensday and see what happens... I know that the Lord will help us out with him tremendously. He already has and I know that we will continue to do so! 

 Unfortunately, I dont have any pictures for this week:((( Sorry! I promise to impove! 

I hope you all know that I love and miss you dearly especailly this time of year! But I wouldnt take back the experiences that I have had on my mission. Let alone the ones Im going to have! 

Con todo mi amor, corazon, y esperanza,

Hna Logan

The Perfect Plan

Letter from December 8, 2014

Hola:)

Ok so this week was pretty good. We made some headway with a man of 69 years. He is Evangélico... I dont really know if there is a an equivalent in the US to them... I would think Evangelists...? But the Evangélicos here are very extreme. They sing a yell some not so nice words in front of houses. And they are pretty short with us, lol. But this man (Manuel Jesus) isnt like that at all. We had some lessons with him with members that were AWESOME! Because at first he would NOT pray. Ever! And so the other day we taught him about forgiveness, and the Atonement (because we felt that he didnt feel worthy to pray) and we watched some powerful videos. Then we testified to him that none of us our perfect but Heavenly Father still wants to hear from us. And we asked him to say the closing prayer and he DID IT! And his prayer was soooooooo humble. Then we called him every night to remind him to pray:) And then we had a lesson with him and taught him about repentance, baptism, the gift of the Holy Ghost, and enduring to the end. And then we invited him to be baptized. And he said no. That he is worried that after he is baptized he will fall of the wagon again. And we explained to him the Sacrament and that we can be clean once again every week... and he thought a little bit more. And he still said no- that he doesnt deserve basptism, but we could tell that he was thinking really hard about it. And I know that he WILL make this decision. Because I know that he is going to think about baptism a lot during this week. 

Also, we found this youth (Edgardo) that has a TON of questions about the plan of salvation. And I LOVED LOVE LOVED teaching him about it because the Plan of Salvation is SO perfect! And the look of understanding that the people have when they hear it! It has all the answers to the quesitions of the soul. And he told us, "Wow, this is something that I have always asked and wondered..." it was amazing! 

And I love that when we teach the people and testify to them about what we are teaching, our own testimonys are strengthened. I mean I used to hate teaching the plan of salvation because I didnt know it very well and because its pretty long and intimidating. But now I think its my favorite! I truely understand now (since Ive been studying this lesson a TON this week) of how perfect this plan is. And I KNOW that it is true. First of all it just makes plane sense. And second its beautiful! Its full of hope, mercy, and love. And I know that only God could have made it because its perfect and He is perfect. I love how much I am learning here on my mission and all the wonderful experiences I have had! I truely understand why people grow sooo mcuh and change soooo much during this time! 

I dont know anything about christmas yet. Only that for sure we get to skype. But Im going to ask this week about all of it! Promise! 

I love you all SOOOO SOOOO SOOO SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH! 

Con cariño y todo de mi corazón,

He is the Gift

Letter from December 1, 2014

Hola!!!

HAPPY BITHDAY MOMMA! 

And Im super glad you all had a wonderful thanksgiving!!!!!

Okay so this week was interesting. First of all we found this young guy (25 years old) who has a ton of problems. He's a drug addict, a smoker, an alcoholist, and he is addicted to robbing. He has three kids from three different women and he doesnt live with any of them. And so we were talking with him and asked him if he really wants to change, to see his kids more, to be free of these horrible addictions. And he told us yes, yes, yes I want to change, I want a better life, but Im not a bad person, yada yada yada. And really we shared with him that no, he isnt a bad person, he is really special. That he has a father in heaven who really loves him. Who really knows him. And that we want to help him and everything. And by the end of our prayer with him he was in tears. But the bad thing is there isnt much we can do for him. He lives in a place where there is constantly people coming in and out with drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, all of it. And its just horrible for him. We told him that he needs to leave this place and get clean. But who knows if he will actually do it. And he has been in prison for robbing and such so it would be a REALLY long process for his baptism and everything. But not impossible. But the ward told us that we cant visit him without another member with us. But I feel really strongly that we need to keep up with him and help him. Because really he wants this. But there is only so much we can do for him. Its just so sad that he is so young and has all of these problems! All of these harmful addictions! Ugh, its aweful! 

But on the other hand we found these two kids the other day when we were tracting and they kept asking us questions about God and Jesus Christ and everything. And they each are 11 years old so we answered their questions and off we went. And a little while later we were helping a women to clean her garden and these kids came to us again. And asked us if they could come to our church. And so we gave them the address and we didnt really know if they would come because they need the permission from their parents, ect. So off we went. Then came sunday. And the sacrament finished and we thought, yeah okay they arent coming. But suddenly there they were! And the topper, WITH THEIR PARENTS! And so after sacrament meeting we talked with their parents and they told us that they have no problem taking their kids to church for all three hours and that they can come to but can only stay for the first hour, but they will come pick them up afterwards. Literally it was a miracle! So this week we are for sure going to their house and hopefully we can teach their parents, too! 

And I dont know if you guys have heard but there is this huge thing happening with the church on the 7th of December. The church has bought youtube for this night to show a video called "He is the Gift" and its going to be shown in Times Square and all sorts of things. But its a christmas video, really short, but powerful. And I dont really know that much about it because I just found out in reading the emails of my freinds on their missions. But Im sure we are going to have a training on it soon. Here is the link to watch the video http://www.mormon.org/christmas and really its about the true spirit of christmas. That all the gifts in this world on Christmas started with ONE. The gift of the Lord Jesus Christ from our Father in Heaven. Its really a beautiful thing. And really something that I have learned this week is that many people know about Jesus, what He did, about His life and teachings, but they dont know WHO He is. Here in La Serena, Chile most of the kids go to a Catholic based school. And so they watch videos about Christ and learn of His life. But they dont understand WHY. That really God GAVE His son to suffer for our sins, to die for us. EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US. And because He suffered for us, we can repent, we can be free of our sins-clean of our unperfect and sinful state, and most importantly we can live once again in the presence of our Heavenly Father. And He was resurrected so that after our mortal death our spirits can be reunited with our bodies. That we can have a perfect and immortal body. And all of this because HE CAME, HE LIVED, HE SUFFERED, AND HE DIED. FOR. YOU. And this is the Gift. HE IS THE GIFT. I KNOW IT. And I know that every single person can know it for themselves. 

So this Christmas find out about this grand gift that you have been given. And remember WHY we even have CHRISTmas. To remember HIS GIFT. 

I love you all with all my heart and I am so thankful to have you all in my life!!!!

Until next week, con mi amor, testimonio, y corazón,

Surprise! I had a baby!

Letter from November 24, 2014

Hola todos!

Yeah so first I killed both of my "moms" and now I am training a new missionary!

But the funny part is, usually when you are going to train the assistents to the president call you first to tell you... and they didnt call me... so my new companion arrived and on our way to out house I asked her how much time she has en her mission. She said, Um this is my first day... and so here I am, lol. A suprise pregnancy for me:) But my new companion is super! She is from the south of Argentina and she is 21 years old. 

And this week was interesting... at church yesterday I was looking around at all the people and I just felt this grand love for everyone. Especially for those people that I have a good relationship with. And then yesterday we were talking with Brenda (the mom of my convert, Alan) and I felt like this is my last transfer in this area. And I just started crying, lol. Because first of all Alan and Brenda... I LOVE them. They are like my family. And the feeling that I have to leave them is pretty devestating. But I know that for the mission we need to change areas and there are different people I need to meet. But man. Now I understand how Andrew felt on his plane home where he just started to cry. Because really this love that I have been able to feel is soooooo powerful. And it makes me just want to stay here forever, but at the same time I know I have to leave. And I dont know if I really am going to leave or not, but I am so grateful to my Heavenly Father that I have been able to feel a small part of His love for his children. And I know that I wouldnt have been able to feel it like this if I hadnt decided to serve a mission. So basically I am just full. Full of love and the spirit and everything, IDK. Basically the love of God is REAL. That is all:)

And are you guys SUPER excited that we get to skype in like a month???? WOOOHHHOOOO! And christmas, I am super excited! 

Well thats pretty much all for this week. I hope you all have an amaaaaaaaaaazing thanksgiving full of lots of turkey and food and pie and yummy goodness! I will miss it with all of my heart! But give everyone a hug for me and everyone can eat a piece of ham and pie for me:) 

I love love love LOVE you all!

The Power of the Book of Mormon

Letter from November 17, 2014

Hola todos!

Okay so this week was pretty good. I have officially killed my second mom, and for these next 3 days I am training a latina that has only been out on her mission for a month. But she is super sweet and I really am being trained by her, lol. 

But this week we found a couple new investigaters and so the investigaters that we have are awesome. Really they are all just reading the Book of Mormon and waiting for an answer to know if it is true. I had an amazing experience with one married couple. They are reading the BOM and they asked us on our second visit how we came to know that this church is true. Because they really want to know which church is true. And so my companion and I were able to bear our testimonies. And the spirit was SOOOOOOOOOOOO strong! And then we asked them if they would pray on their knees with us in that very moment if the church was true. And let me tell you I was balling during her prayer because I could feel that Heavenly Father was answering her prayer. And after they both expressed that they were feeling peace, love, and calmness. And after they both shared experiences of how they knew that God exists. And we were all crying hahaha. But they didnt say that they felt like they knew it was true, yet. But I know if they continue to read and pray and attend church they WILL know its true. Because its the promise that Heavenly Father gives to us. And I know if our lessons continue to have the same powerful spirit, they will know. But they also need to attend church, partake of the sacrament, and feel the spirit that is in the church. Becuase I have recieved COUNTLESS revelations and experinces during church that are the foundation of my testimony. 

And so in other words if any of you are reading this and dont know (notice how I say know and not believe, because they are two very different things) for yourselves if the Book of Mormon is true, which church is true, or even if God exisits... and you really WANT to know and are willing do all you need to in order to find out for yourself... READ THE BOOK OF MORMON! AND PRAY TO KNOW IF IT IS TRUE! There are SERVERAL books about Christ, about God, religion, all of these things. HOWEVER, The Book of Mormon is the ONLY testiment of Christ that invites us to read and ask Heavenly Father in the name of Jesus Christ if it is true AND PROMISES us that if we do so, WE WILL RECIEVE AN ANSWER THAT IT IS TRUE. I know that this promise is REAL. Becuase I have done as this book asks. I have read it. And I have prayed to know if it is true. And I can testify to every person in the world that the Book of Mormon is true. It is the word of God.  I know it with every fiber of my being, and I CANNOT and I WILL NOT deny it. 

I love you all SOOOOOOOOOOO much and I hope you all have an amazing week this week! 

Until Monday and with all my love, heart, and soul,

Hna Logan
