Just waiting....

Just waiting for my travel plans.... they should come this week!!!! I will either be going to Mexico on the 17th or I will be reassigned to a stateside mission until my visa goes through. I am so excited!!! 12 more days!!!!

Life is good. Language is going well. The gospel is so fantastic. I love it! My companions are even better every day. We are growing and it's amazing. I can't really imagine how life was before the MTC. It's not a matter of brainwashing or anything like that, it is simply that life is so great here. It will be interesting to leave and be introduced back into the real world. Of course, it won't be MY world. It will be some obscure place that I have been to. But I know that it will be a wonderful place. I know that I will have a work to do there and I will give it my all. Whether it is in Mexico or in the states somewhere it doesn’t matter. I will have purpose.

As it goes here, we had another fabulous speaker for the Tuesday night fireside. His name, Elder Baxter. He and his wife are from the U.K. Hilarious!! He spoke on the proof in the Bible  that the Book of Mormon is the word of God. And how we are in fact Christians because "No person with a shred of sanity can look at this church and actually believe that we are not Christian. Everything we do in prayer, in church, in sacrament and in teaching from the writings of the holy prophets roots us in the label of "Christian". What sets us apart is that we do not believe in the "Trinity" which is of course the godhead in one personage. We are correct in the fact that They are in fact 3 distinct personages. When Christ was baptized, He "...came straight way out of the water" and the heavens opened. Heavenly Father then spoke to the effect but maybe not exactly, "Behold, this is my Beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased." The Spirit then manifested Himself in the form of a dove. If this was one being doing all these things, then that being has multiple personalities. Thus those people with that condition would be as gods and no therapy would be needed. I know that we have a loving Father in heaven. I know that He sent His son Jesus Christ to atone for our sins and take upon Him our pains and afflictions. I know that the Holy Ghost is a member of the Godhead and is our constant companion as long as we live worthy of His presence and His guidance. I know that these three distinct individuals are one in purpose. And that purpose is for us to return to the presence of our Father in heaven. I know these things and I say them to you in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

This has been Elder Heath wishing you all a great new year! Write ME!!!!!!
