Mesquite Nevada Stakes

Elder Braxton Poole

I can bear testimony of the reality of Jesus Christ and all that he has done and is yet to do. I am going to be moving forward in life and will be returning home from my mission. It was after careful and prayerful consideration along with much discussion with medical advisors and my mission president. I love serving the Lord and I will never forget the great blessings that come from being in His service. I am grateful for everyone who followed and supported me on this although short lived, wonderful path. I pray for the opportunity to return at a later time and continue my service.

A short recounting of what went on during my previous weeks: We stayed inside, called people, took naps, went on walks, watched movies (approved ones), played a board game when appropriate, worked out, read, and listened to music. It was pretty basic and that continued on everyday. I can't remember much of what happened really, but I remember how hard it was to enjoy this work that I love so much. Bringing others to salvation is one of the greatest works we can do in this life.

I am grateful for everyone who followed and supported me on this although short lived, wonderful path. I pray for the opportunity to return at a later time and contiue my service.

I want to focus on the blessings of the gospel as I move forward in life. The reality is that it may not always be fun, but it is always worth it. My testimony has grown tenfold of what it was prior to my mission. I love Heavenly Father and I love my Savior, Jesus Christ. I am grateful for all that they do for me and all that they have done and are yet to do.

I promise that all who want to grow closer to Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father can do so by reading The Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ. It was translated by a Prophet of God. The promise present within the book is, that all who read and pray about the message contained within and do so with a sincere heart, having real intent, and faith in Christ, can and will receive a witness of the truthfulness of the things written by the power of the Holy Ghost. I love all of you and pray that you will have this great opportunity!
