Durham - Week 10

Hello,

Last week was a really interesting week, in a way it was disappointing but it wasn't discouraging. We taught a lot of people that have such amazing faith and trust in Christ but they don't accept the Book of Mormon or they don't agree with some of the fine points of the doctrine. Reading and praying about the Book of Mormon is great, but you won't receive a true and lasting confirmation unless you read and pray with real intent.  That is what I have found that a lot of people don't have when it comes to learning about the fullness of the true gospel of Jesus Christ.

Conference was absolutely incredible! It is very different from how it is back home.  We watch it live and there is a two hour time difference from home so the first sessions started at Noon.

There are a lot of things that really helped me, but the biggest thing I am going to take away from conference is the feeling I got while listening. I might forget some of the lessons that were shared, but I will never forget the confirming witness I felt from the Holy Ghost, that the words that were spoken are true, and that this church is Christ's church and that I am where I am supposed to be and I'm doing what I am supposed to be doing.

Love,
Elder Drake Harper
