Week 52

The Gospel is simple and true and the more we learn the simpler it gets. I had a wonderful experience last night and I would like to share it with you.

Because yesterday was Independence day we went into the apt. Early and I was able to do some deep study on faith. I think I read Ether 12  5+ times over and many other things. Along with some intense prayers. I love having time to completely dedicate my entire will and mind to a principle of the Gospel. It gives me so much opportunity to learn. While I was in my study session I realized that I have a desire to have more humility, charity, faith, etc. But I have not been asking God for those gifts in my prayers. I remembered the countless scriptures that said "ask and he shall receive, knock and it shall be opened unto you". With this realization in mind I have been asking for these gifts and seeking to do all I can to obtain them. It requires a lot of effort but it is well worth it. I will have to let you know what miracles occur this week according to our faith. I have a feeling this week will be a week of miracles.

I love you! And thank you,
~ Elder Josh Alger
