Finding the Light in light....

Recently, like an hour ago before posting this, We sat down with some potential investigators. It turns out that they were both evangelical pastors! Well, the appointment was scheduled so they could "learn" more about what we believe. Well to cut it short we were anti'ed. I won't go over what we talked about, we did hold our own and we did "win" but Elder Hallam and I both felt really dark after we met with them. This is a lesson learned that I will not forget, nor neglect to teach. Finding light in light, and not in darkness. Who is the Light? It is Christ. How do we find Him? well, not in Anti pamphlets, books, or magazines. Nor in heated bible bashing or rude, low remarks regarding ones religion. (AofF #11) We find Christ, when we read the Book of Mormon, Bible, the Words of the Prophets, and going to church. It's not limited to this, but these are the basics. We tried to gear the conversation to the Book of Mormon and reading it. They would have none of it. They would not excercise faith in even reading the Book of Mormon. I know we are to love everyone, but you still don't have to waste your time with those that only want to slow the Kingdom of God down. I testify that if you ever find your beliefs being questioned you just tell them what you know, what you should know, and they cannot take that away. Trust the Spirit, the Holy Ghost to comfirm the message of the Restoration, the Book of Mormon, Joseph Smith, and Thomas Monson. It is not blind faith to trust your feelings after studying and praying about a subject. It is how our, loving Heavenly Father communicates to us. It is how He answers our prayers. Another thing that I hold dear to my heart is that He wants us to be happy in this life. Not just pleasure, but pure happiness; peace if you will. I don't believe that following Christ should be an acid bath but a time of peace and joy! Joseph Smith is a great example of being happy in this life, and Christ is the ultimate example. We should all be happy in following Christ, he will give us lasting happiness. I know the Book of Mormon is true, and like I said so many times before, if you read it and sincerely pray about it, you will come to know the truth of it by the power of the Holy Ghost. You will know that Jesus is the Christ that was sent here to overcome our short comings, that Joseph Smith was his servant in restoring the Gospel. I know these things are true, so I want everyone who reads this to know that Matt Bryson, is a follower of Jesus Christ. Not a diffrent Jesus, the one born of the virgin Mary, the Son of God, The everlasting Maker of heaven and earth, the one that suffered, died on the cross, and rose again three days later. I testify in His name, Jesus Christ, Amen.
