I wanna give my little brother a quick shout out for his awesome farewell talk and just tell you all how proud of him I am! He will be leaving for the Mexico City MTC on June 18th and boy am I so excited!! He is going to be such a great missionary and is a great example to me and to all of us!
This week has been another great one!!! Many many miracles! As we look for God's hand in our lives, we can see it in literally everything. It's pretty awesome to be apart of this great and marvelous work that is taking place!
I was able to finish the Book of Mormon in Spanish yesterday!! It is true. The Book of Mormon is absolutely 100% true! I knelt down to offer a prayer to know if it was true and a thought came into my head and it said 'Dude... You already know that it is true, why are you asking!?' and then I was like yeah... Well I am asking because I just wanna make sure and I got my answer that it was😊 Joseph Smith is a prophet and translated this book by the power of God. I am thankful for the clarity, joy, and all of the testimonies of Jesus Christ that are in this book. I would like to invite you all to read from the Book of Mormon for at least 10 minutes in a day! If you think you don't have that much time, make that much time and I promise the Lord will bless you for your effort!!
I also had the opportunity to get another book called, The Infinite Atonement. And WOW. This is hands down the 2nd best book ever, after the scriptures. It breaks down the Atonement so well and I personally think that every family should own this book and read it! I got it and I told myself I was just going to read 1 or 2 chapters but I started reading it and 5 chapters went by! Before my mission I didn't even like reading but this book is incredible and has made me gain an even more testimony of the great gift of the Atonement that we have and has helped me to realize how I should use it and how I need to use it. You should all get a copy of this book!
We have had a ton of success here in Marshfield! Transfers are coming up soon and I am very excited to see what happens here! Thanks again so much for all of your thoughts and prayers! May you all have an incredible week filled with plenty of missionary opportunities! I love you all so much! I love Jesus Christ so much! Have a great week everyone!
DO GOOD, BE GOOD
Love,
Elder Ricks
