(Ross voice) ....Hi.

 Still not quite getting the reins here. Stressed and worn, but trying my hardest everyday. 
This week was fine. We did have some REALLY REALLY awesome lessons. 
One with an investagator named Emilia. We taught her about the restauration of Christ´s Church and about the Book of Mormon. I will NEVER forget her expressions throughout the lesson. She is so cute! She just kept saying "I´m so embarrassed! I didn´t know [that Christ came to the Americas]!". I finally said "it´s Ok that you didn´t know! That´s why there are millions of jovenes with black name tags walking around the whole world...because God loves you and wanted you to know!" 
I like when people really listen to our message because it really is a marvelous one. 
God loves you. 
He loves us all. 
He always has. 
Doesn´t matter when you live(d) or where. 
He is Our Father and He loves you. 
Because of this love, He wants you home. He has set up a plan to help you get home and central to this plan is His Son, Our Brother, Jesus Christ. 
The Book Of Mormon testifies of this same Christ. You can read it, meditate on it´s message and pray to God in the name of Christ to know if it is true.
 If it IS true (and I, Libertee, testify that I know it is), that means that Joseph Smith, who translated it by the power of God, really was a prophet of Our Father in Heaven and that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints really is God´s kingdom on Earth. 
 Read the book and ask God if it is true & if you really want to know the answer God the Father will reply and by the power of His Holy Spirit, you may know the truth of all things.
 I know, I know, I sound like a broken record: READ THE BOOK OF MORMON, READ THE BOOK OF MORMON... But honestly, It just seems so simple to me. 
So perfect. 
I can´t understand why one WOULDN´T read it & ask to know if it was true, but I guess that´s just how people have been since forever. 
 I am reminded of the people in the dispensation of Moses who would NOT look upon the brass serpent. LOOK and LIVE! or, better, READ and KNOW! I testify once more and will continue to testify that it REALLY is that simple. I love the Book of Mormon. I love my Brother and Redeemer, Jesus the Christ. I know Him better because I have read BOTH of the testiments that record His mortal ministry. He lives. He came and completed the Father´s will. He saved us all. 
I share these truths in His name, Amen.
