Okay, okay, it IS a little awkward thinking that this
would’ve been the last e-mail I send to you all, BUT in the end, what does it
really matter? I mean, the service continues for all my life!! THESE ARE THE
FIRST TWO YEARS, NOT THE BEST ONES.
LECCIÓN DE LA SEMANA: I obtained a renewed witness of the
reality of Joseph Smith’s prophetic calling this week. I was reading 2 Peter
chapter 2, and discovered what characteristics the false prophets have. As I
read, I thought of thousands of times when I had heard accusations against the
Prophet of the Restoration. Did Joseph Smith deny the Christ? No. Did Joseph
Smith sow shadowy, destructive heresies amongst the believers? No. Did he speak
evil of the greater powers? No. What behavior, then, inspires his accusers? It
can only be disbelief. Unfounded disbelief.
I invite ALL of you to search the scriptures, earnestly
pray, and fast for a spiritual witness that we are, indeed, living in the
Latter-Days - that Christ, indeed, has restored His church, and that we do, in
fact, have priesthood authority in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day
Saints. If you do, revelation will rain from heaven, and you will reach a
well-founded surety of this great truth.

I moved around a lot this week!! Elder Chamberlain and I
went to Cancun on Wednesday, where we ate some pizza with the elders of
Nichupté and started working on the plans for transfers.
TURNS OUT, I’LL BE GOING BACK!!!! President received the
revelation that I should be in Nichupté again. That means that I’ll be
finishing my mission with Elder Jensen, a great buddy o’ mine, and Elder Vega,
an elder that worked together with me and Elder Coello in Palmas (wooo! a long
time ago!) Though I would have loved to finish with my MTC companion, dear
Elder Chamberlain, I know that the Lord would have me stay six more weeks, and
who am I to say otherwise??
Right now, I’m in Valladolid teaching the area to a new
trainer, Elder Astrada. He’s from Argentina (cool accent, bro!) and when I
leave on Sunday, he’ll receive a NEWBIE to train and prepare for these next two
transfers. HOW EXCITING!! Fun fact - he was companions with my chan.hijo, Elder
Coello, this last transfer.
That will be all, folks! I love hearing from you with all
your love and support!! Keep making good, destiny-shaping decisions!!!
Love,
Elder Carson
