We'll begin with level to level and we hope that you will love it! 

Level 1

Nama saya ialah Joseph Smith. Umur saya empat belas tahun. Saya menolong ibu bapa saya dengan pekerjaan mereka. Saya seorang yang sangat suka membaca Kitab. Saya tahu bahawa hanya melalui doa semua jawapan saya dapat dijawab.

Level 2

Bapa kita di Syurga menciptakan manusia agar mereka memperoleh tubuh dan badan. Dia ingin kita menjadi seperti dia. Dia menciptakan pasangan yang pertama di bumi iaitu Adam dan Hawa. Mereka diberikan perintah agar mereka memperlihatkan iman mereka kepada Tuhan. Tuhan tahu manusia mempunyai kelemahan. Tuhan menyediakan rancangan yang membolehkan kita semua didapati layak berhadapan dengan Dia suatu hari nanti.

Prayer help me to increase my faith. Last time we were praying about our investigators and RCLA that they will keep the commitments that we gave them. One of them (Big family-RC) called us and they were asking if we could come and share the gospel. At the same time our appointment feel thru and I thought it is part of miracle. I knew that strong faith will help us to act. We sang a song to help the members to feel the spirit and we asking if they need help.

We have 100 people at the church and 32 Priesthood holders! That is so awesome! We try to bring 120 people to church this week and I will update about it.

Increasing my faith unto Christ?
As we try to apply the atonement of Jesus Christ and use in our lives we will be able to see His hand upon us. I love to see the savior's hands would like embrace us in Liahona.
In D&C 63:9-10
But, behold, faith cometh noby signs, but signs follow those that believe.
10 Yea, signs come by faithnot by the will of men, nor as they please, but by the will oGod.
help me to understand that I see my faith grow as I keep doing his work.


Miracle?
         We had a couple of investigators that we dropped actually but we got only 2 of them really open their hearts to the gospel. I felt the spirit when we taught them. I think my teaching getting better and I do really enjoy it. We will going to effort at least 1 baptism before I get release.

10 April 2017

I'm grateful for the blessing that I got to hear the voice of our beloved prophet and some speakers that answers my questions. I prepared with some question in my head before watch the conference and it was wonderful when my question got answered. Lately I was inspired by PMG about the door of repentance to members and investigators. Extend the commitments is apart of missionary's work however testifying the truth and promise the blessings is the door for them to wonder how did we have the blessings? Yesterday we had a cool experience with an investigator and that was awesome. She knew what is our purpose and she meet with us with a purpose. My faith is increasing as I have my personal study and companionship study along with the master's way program. Prayer is my habit and I always pray and be humble in prayer help me a lot. When I pray for others I feel peace and I can see the path of the Lord. He has provide me such the way that I'd expected.


Last time we taught an investigator that so solid! We will teach their family soon. Yaay! She is willing to do things such as prayer, read and come to the church. She understand a lot about our purpose. When we taught her, we connect her with heavenly Father. Example: we were teaching about prayer, and we ask them if there was God sit next to you are going to talk to him? I'm sure they will going to say YES. They would probably said "I will tell him everything or even confess with tears.". After that she said "That's mean I need to pray 3 times a day." and I said it's better more and as you sincere. I thought that was a powerful example to use.

Faith?
I learned that every scripture does apply in my life and I will going to share couple of scripture and I do really like it in 1 Nephi 18 :

15 And it came to pass that we were about to be swallowed up in the depths of the sea. And after we had been driven back upon the waters for the space of four days, my brethren began to see that the judgments of God were upon them, and that they must perish save that they should repent of their iniquities; wherefore, they came unto me, and loosed the bands which were upon my wrists, and behold they had swollen exceedingly; and also mine ankles were much swollen, and great was the soreness thereof.
16 Nevertheless, I did look unto my God, and I did praise him all the day long; and I did not murmur against the Lord because of mine afflictions.
21 And it came to pass after they had loosed me, behold, I took the compass, and it did work whither I desired it. And it came to pass that I prayed unto the Lord; and after I had prayed the winds did cease, and the storm did cease, and there was a great calm.
22 And it came to pass that I, Nephi, did guide the ship, that we sailed again towards the promised land.
Those verses help me a lot to do better at prayers whenever the trails comes. It help me to remember the promise of God as we do His work we will able to obtain His promise. He promise that Nephi will get a promise land and I believe that He will helps us to feel His promise. 

Miracles?

My companion and I were planning to make an activity with the sisters to help them to feel enthusiastic doing this work. We were walking down to the street and I felt prompting by the spirit that as soon as we saw that lady was struggling to lock the gate and we approached her and helped her and she loves us so much. Anyway, we were talking about Family can be happy forever and she believe that concept and I do know as we apply the principles from the gospel we will be able to help both happy (Spiritual and Physical). She beg on us to come to her house and share a special message. I know how wonderful as we really want to help people and have that desires in our heart we can see God helps us in His work.

Increasing my faith?
 I read 
36 Yea, and cry unto God for all thy support; yea, let all thy doings be unto the Lord, and whithersoever thou goest let it be in the Lord; yea, let all thy thoughts be directed unto the Lord; yea, let the affections of thy heart be placed upon the Lord forever.
 37 Counsel with the Lord in all thy doings, and he will direct thee for good; yea, when thou liest down at night lie down unto the Lord, that he may watch over you in your sleep; and when thou risest in the morning let thy heart be full of thanks unto God; and if ye do these things, ye shall be lifted up at the last day. Those two verses very comfort me and I came to realize that I need to rely more unto God because He helps me a ton. I felt like these scriptures help me to gain my faith and to understand more and rely more to Jesus Christ atonement.

Miracles?
Last week we taught our deft investigator and he's awesome and I'm way excited to see him into the water of baptism soon, around this coming May. We went to our area last week and we went to Permy and I felt like the holy ghost slapped me on my face and telling me that I should turn right and soon I turned right we met a huge family that are so nice (Well, they recognize us as orang putih not as Iban). We were talking about why they going to the church every week and they have no reason beside than follow their friend. We were sharing a simple thing in restoration and the best part was Joseph Smith. Soon, we turn to Joseph smith picture and his son surprise and turned his phone and he put the Joseph Smith as his wallpaper but he has no clue till we found them. We asked him where he got it and he tld us from the website and random pictures from the internet. That was really miracle.
working with member?

first off- we got 94 attendance at the church and 24 Priesthood holders were coming to the church and it way surprise me. We just made a foundation of Miri this week and they working together so well. Since it does working we gonna make sure it last for long term.

Building faith as a foundation to my testimony is so important . As the time of old the house of Israel will fast as they wanted to asking help from God. I do really know that fast is the best way to receive the answer. I would say fast also encourage us to do what's right and we can feel the present of God close to us. I was fasting for many days. In my fasting I included the prayer either I need to extend my mission or not. I was so surprising when He does answered my prayer thru dream. I want to share little bit about that. You were calling me as a ZL there and interviewing me about that and when I said "I want to extend my mission." you were agree with that and in my dream I have no clue why do I need to mentioned that. Once I wake up I'm thankful for the revelation that he has given unto me as I faithful to serve his children. I'm still study and focus to the assignments that you gave to us last week. I found out the coolest things about the creation of heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. 

Miracles?

We have more than 70+ attendance last week. I'm so grateful for the blessing that heavenly Father gave us. 7 investigators in sacrament meeting and we have like 20+ priesthood came. Now we are really focus to bring back the lost sheep and finding people thru the Gold Mines. I testify the Miri 2nd is on FIRE now. We saw couple of inactive coming to the church after the first visit and sharing about their testimony and the restoration of the gospel.

Faith?
This last week I have been thinking that I should count the blessing that I had receive from Heavenly Father. I did prayer and suddenly my mind just stuck with this "Jesus Christ and His atonement". Once I finished my prayer I think about His Atonement and it had has been healing my feeling before. There is another phase of the atonement which makes me love the savior even more and fills my soul with gratitude beyond expression. It is that in addition to atoning for Adam's transgression, thereby bringing about the resurrection, the savior by his suffering paid the debt for the personal sins of every living soul that ever dwelt upon the earth. But this he did conditionally. The benefits of this suffering for our individual trangressions will not come to us unconditionally in the same sense that the Resurrection will come regardless of what we do.

Miracle 1:
We felt so sorry to our muslim neighbor which is feeling not well. They are very nice to us, they gave us some foods before. When we meet them in the elevator the mom felt so sick and we can't do anything except pray for her. I had a thought that we should cook for her and she will be happy because we're showing that we care about them even though different religion. So once we arrive at home and we were cooking for her and we gave them the food. We felt better after gave them that food (they accepted it). The next day we accidentally met them under our apartment and we asked how is her feeling? She told us she that she felt even better and even said that when we are so nice with her and her family, her sickness and pain are gone. She grateful for the food that we had been provide for them and she expressed her thankful that they have such a kind neighbor like us. She said it for a few times. I remember the story of Jesus Christ healing a lot of people that were sick, dumb, blind and so on. I thought we just represent Jesus Christ in our action, work, thought and desire, because we just practice our Christlike. Eventhough they are muslim, to be kind is unlimited to Heavenly Father's children. By Elder Dale G. Renlund:
 The closer we are to Jesus Christ in the thoughts and intents of our hearts, the more we appreciate His innocent suffering, the more grateful we are for grace and forgiveness, and the more we want to repent and become like Him. Our absolute distance from Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ is important, but the direction we are heading is even more crucial. God is more pleased with repentant sinners who are trying to draw closer to Him than with self-righteous, faultfinding individuals who, like the Pharisees and scribes of old, do not realize how badly they need to repent.”

Each Sunday we partake of the sacrament, we covenant to always remember the Savior and keep his commandments as well as take upon ourselves His name. These promises we make, if kept, enable us to draw closer to Jesus Christ “in the thoughts and intents or our hearts” so that we become more grateful for what He has done for us. They also motivate us to try and become more like Him

Miracle 2 :
Prayer bring Miracle. We were with recent convert to proselyte. Before we begin the contacting we start with a prayer and she put very spesific prayer and I can felt the spirit. Soon after that we felt very excited to do missionary work. We were sharing some random scriptures with them. At the first time we were sharing about repentance and it was kind of weird cause they didn't really know much about it. But I felt the spirit as I shared with them. Second is we were sharing a random scripture and it was talking about faith and rejoice and the person that we talking with were very interested and he accepted our invitation to meet again. I knew that as we rely more to him, He will bless us with comfort or as know as miracles.

Miracle 3:
our investigator just back from china and we called them to set an appointment to meet again and they accepted it. When we were teaching her, her mom asking us if her daughter can be baptized before her father going back to shanghai. She always goes to church since 7 years old until now so it is a big deal for her to be baptized now. :)

hi Guys! how are you its been so long that I didn't really share about my day int the mission. So sorry. Last monday we played bowling with the sisters and we had so much fun. Actually it wasn't a normal how to play it but we created many styles to play it and had fun. We bought some stuff for making some cookies. The next day we planned to decorate our house for Christmas. We went to swarma joint to had a lunch. We taught our recent convert and we focus on the Book of Mormon. We planned to meet with a member that wasn't active for many years and we found out their house. We just met the children and they kinda aware with us because we had their information but we did explain it. Miracles beside that, we are heading toward the ampang's church but our bus got stop by a cop and he wants to check everyone passport. SO my companion didn't bring his passport. Everyone got checked except him. The cop just passed by him and didn't ask for his document. One indonesian guy got into trouble because he doesn't get any cop in his passport. That was our miracle that my companion didn't get arested. Next day we tried to looking part member family to become our investigator but we had a hard time to find it. We did ask several people but they didn't really know. We were there about 2 hours and eventually we found it. At night we taught our investigators and they are very nice and understanding. Sister Aima called us and asked where are we but we told her that we left already. Next times we want to call her beforehand to arrange the appointment. On Thursday, we did exchanges at night. Also we made a lot of cookies. Next day during exchanges brother Jericho helped us to find the less active and we found out that they moved already and we didn't have their information. The phone doesn't work. We contacting a lot. We asked our member to accompany us, her name is sister Samaneh and her family are my favorite.

By,

Elder Gara

Thia Merry Christmas is so meaningful for those whose whose knows what Christmas is.

Faith? 
We believe that he will help us in the process if repentance. Faith can't be exercise without repentance. For those who have repentance of their sin the same is forgiven and I the LORD remember them no more (D&C 58:42). I'm grateful for the sacrament that I always take every sunday to remember about Jesus Christ and his atonement. This coming Christmas I remember the promise of GOD to all mankind, He will help us to be free and his son will reigns among all of us. Many thousands years ago Jesus Christ was born and He reigns, establish the church, administer the church, performed many miracles and accomplish the atonement. Jesus Christ obey God's commandments. I commit to myself that I will try to obeying him by strive be faithful to him. Broken heart and contrite spirit stated in Moroni 6:1-4 and D&C 20:37, Alma 12:32 God gave unto them commandments; having made known unto them the plan of redemption.Having faith in him and be faithful to him bring blessing. Enos 1:12 I will grant unto  thee according to thy desires because of thy faith. Also President Thomas S monson said in his talk a couple years ago, formula that will ensure our success 1. search scriptures with diligence 2. Plan your life with purpose 3. Teach the truth with testimony 4. Serve the lord with love. I want to emphasize the point number 4. There is no substitute for love, successful missionaries loves their companion, their mission leaders and the precious person whom they teach. It remind me to D&C 4:2,5-6.

Miracles?
Last monday we met a guy. His name is Kevin. We talked about Christmas. We also share about our purpose here. He kind of interested and we set appointment with him the next day. The next day he brought his friend to join us in his lesson. We found out that his fiend is Buddha. Since his friend knows english but not really that good. We taught them together. A lot new things that she doesn't know and the big word in gospel. I was help her to understand it by spoke in Chinese and she told me that my Chinese good enough for the gospel and I'm totally happy. I knew how to speak Chinese but not in the gospel, Holy spirit help me to speak and I knew its true. Also, we pray before the lesson that holy spirit my with us. I felt the spirit so strong as I testified in simple english. I knew He is there.
