I have now served as a full time missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints for 2 years and will be returning home on the 30th in SLC Utah. My homecoming is on August 4th, all are invited.
God lives and He is our perfect Father. We are all His children. Over 100 million of His children are in Vietnam and He loves them all. I am so blessed to have had the chance to serve these people. They are AMAZING!
Jesus taught that the greatest commandment is to “Love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.”
Jesus then taught that the 2nd greatest commandment is to “love thy neighbor as thyself.”
The prophet Joseph Smith taught “When we obtain any blessing from God, it is by obedience to that law upon which it is predicated.”
I know that obedience to the 2 greatest commandments brings the greatest blessings you can ever have. The blessings linked with loving the Lord are too great to get in any other way. My love for the Lord and my Vietnamese neighbors has grown so much, and I have been personally blessed because of it in too many ways to count.
God lives, He loves us, and loving Him in return brings the greatest blessings available.
-Elder Hyrum McConkie
