Barbados 8

This week was great! and also by far too
short, but that seems to be every single week lately. Met a great guy
with a most troubled past. Just imagine a sin and this man has
committed it somewhere along the lines of his 72 year old existence.
He realize it has not brought him anything, besides pain and sadness.
Makes him want to search more seriously towards what does give
fulfillment, something that lasts. Well good thing we bring the Good
News right. I testify that every possession we got here, will at
one point perish. The only thing you can keep is "you". All we ever do
in this life is being "stored" (kind og like a computer) into our
being. Then at the last day we will be able to witness who we have
become. For to God is far more important to noticed who you have
become than what you have done. Our actions are merely an indication
of our identity. If we have become what we are intended to be, which
is exalted through Christ, we can abide in an eternal happiness. How
wonderful does that sound :) The most wonderful part of it all is: you
choose your destiny. As I believe President Monson, the Prophet, has
said: "Decision determine destiny". To make the right decisions you
first need to know the choice. For without law no man can be judged.
The choice at the end of the day is either "liberty and eternal life,
through the great Mediator of all" or "captivity and death" (you can
make a guess through who that comes to pass). The only way that you
know how to make these decisions is by reading the scriptures. The
scriptures teach us "what men must do to obtain peace in this life and
eternal salvation in the life to come". So read your scriptures!
That's what outlines the way (or rod) that leads to eternal life. If
you don't have scriptures ask the missionaries, we hand it out like
candy.
With love,
Elder Thomas Bechan
