To my friends and family,
This week has been a pretty ordinary
week of finding, learning, and teaching people about the gospel of Christ. But
one thing that has not been ordinary and that thing is... Ping pong. Before I
left on my mission I never played ping pong aside from the occasional time at
someone's house, but I never really enjoyed it. Now that I have been forbidden
to play basketball, I play ping pong instead and get lessons from Korean
teachers. Super fun, they are so good. But apparently I have been improving!
In the past, Korea used to have a lot of places to play ping pong, but
now they mostly have been replaced by PC places and video games. So a lot of
people love to come to our church to play ping pong.
Anyway my spiritual thought for this
week is on the Book of Mormon and specifically its witness of Jesus Christ. For
the past 2 months I have read through the book every day and I just finished it
this past Saturday. Also, throughout this week, I have had an unusually large
number of opportunities to teach about it and to study about it. As I testify
and as I read, my testimony of the Book of Mormon, specifically of its important
testimony of Christ, has grown so much. It simply, powerfully, and
unconditionally testifies of the Savior, His divine role, and our
responsibility if we want to follow him. The Bible wonderfully accomplishes
this same task, but in the Book of Mormon we find clarity for certain passages
in the Bible. I know the Book of Mormon is true. I know that it testifies of
Christ. I know that by following the precepts in it, we can become closer to
God and find our purpose in this life.
I love you all,
Elder Coleman
