This is late because my knee was dislocated for 3 hours yesterday and I went to the hospital and didn´t have time to write. I´m fine now and nothing is out of place nor permanent. I just have to wear a knee brace for the rest of my mission but its thin and under my clothes and can´t see it for anything. I actually never made it into the hospital cuz it reset itself right in front of the hospital. Haha. Fun times.
So we just got out of a lesson with a member that has a LOT of questions. We covered a lot of material but something stuck with me that I said and didn’t know before. There are 3 levels in the gospel.
1. Knowledge of the commandments of God.
2. Understanding the commandments and doctrine and knowing how to apply it to your life.
3. Living what you know and understand.
Sadly, some people have only the first. Even more sad, is that some people only have the first two. Number three is the goal for any true follower of Christ and they do all they can to get there. First they read and pray. Then they attend church. Then they ask questions of leaders and teachers. And then they mold their lives on ALL that they have gained in the course of their search.
The third level is the hardest to get too and I´m not even sure if it’s the last. I´ll have to follow these steps to know. I will be sure to keep my life on the third level until I know more so that I CAN know more. There is a limit with the other two. Wow...... I just realized..... I just explained the 3 degrees of glory...... I LOVE THIS GOSPEL!!!!! And now my head is buzzing with a ton of ideas that I couldn’t possibly put in this letter because of time constraint. So I will leave you to ponder on the marvels that I have come across.
I love you all
Elder Heath
