Elder EJones: I Love to See the Templo



We had cambios this week and I'm here again in Santa Cruz, in the center of the city, an area called Pirai. I'm excited to be here, it's good to be back in Santa Cruz. I am with Elder Canseco, he is from California. I said bye to my comp Elder Tebbs, and Elder Thurt who I trained this week...it's been so fun to be with them. And also Elder Dawson left last week to go home because he is still sick.



This week we talked to a guy who is the husband of an investigator that we have. She really wants to learn more, but he . . . not so much. He asked how is it that Jesus was a prophet, and I shared with Him this scripture that I read last week...

Matthew 21:10-11
And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this?
And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee.

It made me think as I read it to him. Jesus was and is a prophet. He is THE prophet. Imagine living in His time and teaching and testifying of the Living Prophet, the Son of God. And in the same sense we have the opportunity to testify of a living prophet who testifies of Christ. I am so grateful that I was born in a time when the world wasn't in apostasy, when we have the direction of living prophets and apostles.

Well the title of my email today is I love to see the temple. That's because we flew today to Cochabamba and then to Santa Cruz, and the whole time we were looking for the temple...and we found it. The first time I've seen a temple in the last year and a half, it was the best!!!
