Hello Fam!!

So last week I met a Jewish man. But not any ordinary Jew. This 45 year old Jewish man is named Mijael. He was baptized a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints a few months ago. He is from Israel, born and raised Jewish. He spent a lot of time in New York City. He came down here to get away from the big city life. (His mom owns a large diamond firm in NYC). He is a man with more faith than anyone I know. We were talking a little. The Jews have a history of thousands of years. The LDS Church only about 200 years. He said everything we do in this church is by faith. When he told his family he was going to be baptized they cut him off completely. His mom cut him off from all financial help and hasn’t said anything to him since he was baptized. He has very little contact with anyone else from his family. But he has the truth.  He said he has been translating the Book of Mormon into Hebrew.

Let’s take some time and think about what we really have. How blessed we really are to have this Gospel and families that support us. I love you all for the great support that you give me.

Thanks for all you do!! I love you mom and say hello to the fam for me!!
