Week 10 12/5/2020

Hello everyone! I'm going to keep this email pretty short. I want to start off by saying how grateful I am to have an eternal family and for the atonement. My Great Grandma Miles passed away on december 3rd and it's been 5 years on december 2nd since my cousin Andrew passed away. So i've been really emotional since wednesday. The Munk side of the family also went to Luminaria in Thanksgiving Point and that was a very spiritual experience. Especially when we walked past the statues of the scripture stories of Christ. When we got to the statue of Christ in the Garden of Gethsemane, I felt the spirit so strongly testify to me that he knows what I am going through and he knows of my needs, he also knows everyone perfectly and loves us all equally! I also had my cousin and aunt take some pictures of me next to the statue. and i was pretty much crying the rest of the time until we got back to the car. 

I would like to bare my testimony, I know that this church is true and that president nelson is a true prophet called by god to lead and guide this church by the inspiration given to him from Christ. I know that the Book of Mormon is true, and when we need help we can always turn to the scriptures. I also know that prayers are answered when we ask our Heavenly Father in the name of Christ that we can get an answer, the answer may not come immediately, and when you take action after your prayers and have faith that it will be answered, it will be answered. I know that families are forever and we will see our loved ones again. I am so grateful to be serving my mission and I have truly seen the blessings that come with serving others. In the name of Jesus Christ amen.

-Elder Munk
