To my family and friends,
I will be leaving 인천 (that’s not how you spell it in English,
but I forgot. Sorry.) and I will be going into the heart of Seoul! I do not
have much time to write a long email, but I just wanted to let you all know
that I am doing well. This week most of our investigators are in the same boat
that they were in last week. They are struggling to receive that personal
witness and have their faith grow.
So today relating to this problem I will share a message
about how to strengthen faith. Whether you are a missionary, an atheist, or
just someone of another religion, I hope my message can apply to you. First of
all, Faith is not a principle of weakness or ignorance; it is a principle of
power. No matter what your standing is on religion right now, Faith in a God
and Faith in Christ can help you overcome challenges. When we have a firm
belief in God and Christ, we can know that this life is not the end. We can
know that as we do good works and follow God's commandments, we will receive
peace and joy in this life and the next. As we continue to study, pray, and
follow what God wants us to do, we start to know by our own experience that God
is real and we begin to feel that promised Joy and Peace. This knowledge and
these feelings do not come all at once, but rather slowly as we continue to
follow God's path. My plea for all of you is to try it. Try praying. Try
reading God's word or doing service for someone else. You will start to feel
that peace and joy and you will know that God is real.
I love you all,
Elder Coleman
