The Pure Love Of Christ Through Missionaries

Hello,

Today I thought I'd do my blog on the pure love of Christ through missionaries, and how much truthfulness they speak when teaching / meeting someone in the street. 

I was feeling down and wasn't doing good, so tonight I spoke to Elder Ryan Tucker and Elder Austin Jorgensen about it. We read from the Book Of Mormon, and spoke about why is the word of God so important in our lives, and what makes it important. 

Well I'm going to tell you why the word of God is important and what makes it important. The word of God is important in our lives because it gives everyone a chance to change their lives around from how they are living it and helps people to stop being greedy about things, that aren't uttermost important and where the things are important we should be concentrating on. 

We should all listen to the word of God because it is there to help us understand the better nature of ourselves and how working with Heavenly Father and Christ can make such a difference in our lives by doing what he asks of us, he won't do it all because we also have to make that stand today or whenever it is to work with him and to gain these things that we mostly want in our lives. We should never forget that the Lord loves each and everyone of us the same, we are all equal no matter what we've done in this life time we have a second chance to change our lives around and stand to fight for what we think is right and to fight for what we believe in. 

Missionaries are a great example because they listen to the word of God, we aren't perfect but we are trying to become more like our saviour Christ and that takes our effort to be able to do this along side him. 

When I first started speaking to the Missionaries online I was scared and nervous at the same time because it was something new and incredible that I was soon to find out that would happen in my life. That best thing was taking upon the name of Christ and being baptized in his name and into his church that has the restored gospel of Christ upon this earth today. 

I realise now that I made the correct decision to listen to the Holy Ghost that day and to find the true church and I did and I am happy. Since speaking with the Elders tonight I've realized now it is time to make that stand and to stop satan from taking back over and start letting the goodness and righteousness of Christ take back over. I'll tell you this once your in the bright light of Christ it's such an amazing feeling because you feel that you belong somewhere you should be, and your are blessed for being in the correct place. 

Everyone that I have met along my journey so far has told me their stories of the Gospel and how much it has helped them and I can take aboard what they have said and try my very best to put it into action in my own life. The  Missionaries that I have met, Elder Polo, Lorenzo Giusti, Elder Tucker, Elder Boardman, Elder Hafen, Zayne Callahan, Paul Hathaway they're amazing people and have decided to do the right thing and listen to that feeling you get when you want to change, and now so many years down the line they are giving up two years of their lives to serve full time missions for their Lord and I hope to be able to do the same next year. 

I leave this with you in the name of Jesus Christ.AMEN. 

Update on what the heck is going on lately

Ello, 

Well for starters it has been a bit of a roller coaster ride to be honest, not many good things have been my way lately. And I will be honest, I feel like crap, cos things have been popping up here, there and everywhere and it confuses the hell out of me.. 

But one good thing has happened I am a Directioner ha-ha that is awesome or what? if you don't know what that is, ever heard of One Direction? right it's what they call their fans and I am happy to call myself a fellow Directioner so that's where the name comes from. I will not tolerate comments that involve abuse thrown at me,  you will get a yelling at or be blocked  I warn you only once.. 


I have started riding at college again finally!! I love horse riding it keeps me calm and in such a peaceful mood.. Don't know why though, I hate lunging for certain reasons.. 

I haven't been going to church for about 3 or 4 weeks cos I'm afraid to go now lol, I don't know why just happens I suppose it's cos I don't wanna get in trouble with missionaries or the bishop. 

I am hopefully going to force myself this week, I want to don't have courage to go though... I need a yelling at by someone so if you want to. Thats fine I give permission for you to do so, missionaries please do.. it would be fun if you could actually do that...

Amazing things can happen to anyone

Something About Love from Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ

By Max Carter 

The last few days hasn't gone well for me, that was until last night around 9:30pm I started to get irritated with myself and felt that I wasn't worth it and I could tell that it wasn't normal for me to be like this so I logged onto Mormon.org and spoke to an online missionary who was already on my facebook. And I didn't know that it was going to be him until he said "Are you Max Carter?" and I said "yes" and then he turn around and says "We're friends on FaceBook".The missionary's name is Elder Trevor Boardman, and at first I was stunned because I wasn't at all expecting it to be him... haha... But I told him about how I was feeling and then I prayed to my father in heaven and told him about how I was feeling and most definitely repented of the sins I had done throughout that week to him. 

After I had done this I felt that I had been forgiven but just to be sure I prayed again to him and I felt at peace. And Elder Boardman told me to watch some General Conference and after I had spoken to him I listened to him and while doing so I was shaking for a while, and it's unsual for me to feel that and I guess it was the Holy Spirit guiding me back on to the correct path and so I listened to some messages from the Prophet and Apostles and the Seventy and felt much better. 

Though I was still shaking a tiny bit after it felt great to know that Heavenly Father is there for me when satan had his so called claws in me, and it just goes to show how powerful prayer actually is and how much it can help in a desperate time of need. I am so thankful to the missionaries who I spoke to last night, if I didn't do that I would still be in the evil clutches of satan. And I promised my saviour and father in heaven that I will NEVER let him in again, and If he tries I shall ignore him and tell him to get lost and bother his own kind. 

I am thankful for the love heavenly father and Christ has shown me because I am now more happy than what I was yesterday and that was only 24 hours ago believe it or not haha.... 

But if you have a problem get down on your knees and open your heart out to your father in heaven, he does reply and does help you through it all, believe me it's most definitely worth it :)... 

I was flicking through my scriptures about ten mins ago and it landed on Enos and so I read it and felt much better afterwards... Here's a bit of it:

"And my soul hungered: and I kneeled down before my maker, and I cried unto him in mighty prayer and supplication for mine own soul; and all the day long did I cry unto him; yea, and when the night came did I still raise my voice high that it reached the heavens.

And there came a voice unto me, saying; Enos, thy sins are forgiven thee, and thou shalt be blessed.

And I Enos, knew that God could not lie; wherefore, my guilt was swept away. 

And I said; Lord, how is it done?

And he said unto me; Because of thy faith In Christ, whom thou hast never been heard nor seen. And many years pass away before he shall manifest himself in the flesh; wherefore, go to, thy faith hath made thee whole.." 

These are in Enos, and they helped me today by reading this... So do kneel down and pray for help :)...

I say these things in the sacred name of Jesus Christ.Amen. 

Learn from mistakes

Learning From My Mistakes And Finding Help From The Lord

Jesus Christ

By Max Carter

Hi, It's a new blog today finally!! Haha... So this one is about learning from mistakes that you have made or had in your life and how we can finally move on and seek help through prayer to our heavenly father.. 

Here's my mistakes and how I moved on :

"This week hasn't been all that good for me, because my dog was put down on Saturday and I didn't go to church on Sunday and also because I wasn't feeling well. Little did I know that Satan got in and then I did something that I regret big time. So I prayed to my father in Heaven for help but I didn't feel like I got the help and then throughout the week it continued to grow into a bigger problem for me.. 

Today was the last and final straw of it.. I've finally put my foot down and said to myself no more is happening to me ever... even though I can be stubborn it felt the right decision and so I went onto LDS.org and found some scriptures of repentance and forgiving myself for what I have done but most importantly that my father in Heaven can forgive me. And so I prayed for help and understanding of what I'm reading and that I can take on board what it means.. and it actually worked, I felt so much better than what I previously had.. 

For me knowing that I can turn to my heavenly father is a special thing for me because I used to keep it to myself and then it would build up and up and finally like a ticking time bomb it would explode into anger, and I've tried my best not to get angry at people and being in the gospel has helped me become so much more calmer and patient with things. And patience was a big thing for me, I hated being patient so I prayed for help to be able to get a handle on my patience and now so many months down the line I feel that it has worked.

A couple of things that I have learnt today is that "Expecting too much is problematic, and that  change is a process and not an event". And " To call upon the Lord and his representatives will help". And that I should try and give myself goals that I can work towards and complete them.. 

I know that this church is true, I know that Jesus is the living Christ and that our father in heaven does live on, and the second coming will happen whether we want it to or not. I am thankful for the blessings that I receive  from my father in heaven, I am thankful for the Prophet and the apostles that we have on this earth today that can help us and lead us in the right direction. I am thankful for the missionaries that we have, without them I wouldn't know as much as I do now and also the holy spirit, that is an amazing gift to have. I know that the book of Mormon is the true word of god and is another testament comparable to the holy bible.

I leave these things with you in the name of Jesus Christ.Amen.. 

Enjoy this and I hope it can help some of you that are struggling with anything.. Please kneel down and pray in faith to the Lord, I promise you he does listen and he will help you no matter what.. Amen 

Love from my Heavenly Father - 2/09/12

After paying my tithing / fast offering today I immediately felt the love from my father in heaven and I am so thankful to the church members for helping me and I love the feeling of having the companionship of the Holy Ghost. 

When people bore their testimonies today it was amazing to hear how much the gospel has blessed and changed their lives whilst being a member of The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter Day Saints, and to know that it has helped their children, family members and their friends its an awesome thing to see. 

The gospel has helped me become more respectable for myself by wearing the appropriate clothing and speaking the appropriate speech... And for me having changed this much is awesome. It also makes me happy and joyful to know that I'm not wearing what most people wear who show their bodies off in disrespectful ways and using their bodies the wrong way also... 

I have learnt from that mistake by mistreating my body in the inappropriate way and that way was having piercings and tattoos.. I have now taken my piercings out and as for my tattoos, I try my best to cover them up as much as I can and yes I do regret them. 

Since being in the church I have seen new people come in and be baptized and accept the gospel of Jesus Christ into their lives and from personal experience I know that they have made the right decision in this life and the life to come.. 

When the second coming comes I look forward to standing next to my saviour and helping him build his kingdom up on the earth where we all shall rein together... 

I bare these things to you, that the Book Of Mormon and The Holy Bible, Doctrine and Covenants, and Pearl Of Great Price are all the true word of the Lord and that they do contain the truth... 

I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen

London England Temple - Amazing, true love from Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ

The back of the London England Temple with the pond.

    The amazing words that mean so much!!

Hello, 

It has most definitely been a while since I last blog posted and I'm sorry I haven't updated in such a long while. I have been busy with quite a few things.. 

One of these things have been going to finally visit the London England Temple which I managed to accomplish which was on 17 August 2012 which was on Friday... 

Before I even got there I was nervous and full of excitement and when we finally drove in their I immediately felt the love and comfort from my Heavenly Father, the Holy Ghost and my saviour Jesus Christ... 

I went into the visitors centre and listened to Christ's words and it actually brought tears to my eyes because I was so overwhelmed with love... And nothing usually gets tears in my eyes but Christ certainly did!! And that's a good thing for me, because it does show that he loves us so much..

It was so peaceful just walking around the grounds and going into the temple, was amazing itself. 

So I just thought I'd share my experience by going to the temple, I bare my testimony to you:

That the temple is one of the most amazing, peaceful, and blessed places to go and visit because you really do feel the saviours love, and that the temple is one way to feel more closer to our Heavenly Father than any other way.... I know that the temples are here for our benefit and for Heavenly Fathers benefit and that we can get sealed in the temple with our families for eternity... 

I leave these things with you in the sacred name of thy saviour Jesus Christ. Amen.. 


The temple was also one of my goals to visit and I finally did it with the love and guidance from my saviour and with the Holy Ghost's help... Things can be completed with effort from us and the holy ghost... 

Me at the front of the temple...

 The temple at night, such an amazing place...

enjoy this blog, I'll try and update as often as I can but I'll be back at college in September... so I can't promise you...

Durch Den Monsun - Through the Monsoon - ALSO TRANSLATED IN ITALIAN n GERMAN

Hello, 


It has most definitely been a while since I last posted and I did say I was going to keep you updated which is what I am now doing...


The reason why I chose to use this title Durch Den Monsun (Through the monsoon) is because it's like the world is going through a monsoon of it's own with people coming into the gospel of Jesus Christ and being baptised and changing their lives, but there are also people still out there who are in need of it... And I know one person who I think needs it in their life at this moment in time  because they are going through the motions of monsoon.. and it's been hard for her... 


And I have this feeling that's telling me to give her a Book Of Mormon but I certainly don't want it throwing back in my face if you know what I mean for trying to help that person, who is close to me... But it has to be her decision and the Lord will help her I know this because she's my sister and I love her, she's my best friend and I have been praying for her to be more happy and have the strength needed to go on running through the monsoon.... 


Please if you have a person you know that might benefit from having the gospel in their lives, then pray for them.. I have and I'm going to write my testimony in one of the spare Book Of Mormons I have and give it to her and pray that she will have the holy ghost with her..... 


I have translated it in Italian because it's easier for my friends :D.... 







Ciao,


E 'sicuramente stato un po' dall'ultima volta che ho postato e io ho detto che stava per tenervi aggiornati, che è quello che sto facendo ora ...


Il motivo per cui ho scelto di usare questo titolo Durch Den Monsun (Attraverso il monsone) è perché è come se il mondo sta attraversando un monsone di un proprio con le persone che entrano nel vangelo di Gesù Cristo e di essere battezzati e cambiare le loro vite, ma ci sono anche persone ancora là fuori che hanno bisogno di esso ... E so che una persona che penso di cui ha bisogno nella loro vita in questo momento nel tempo perché stanno andando con i movimenti del monsone .. ed è stato difficile per lei ...


E ho la sensazione che mi dice di darle un Libro di Mormon, ma io certamente non voglio rigettare indietro in faccia se sai cosa intendo per cercare di aiutare quella persona, che è vicino a me ... Ma deve essere la sua decisione e il Signore l'aiuterà Lo so perché lei è mia sorella e io la amo, lei è la mia migliore amica e ho pregato per lei di essere più felice e avere la forza necessaria per andare avanti che attraversa il monsone ....


Per favore, se avete una persona che sa che potrebbe trarre beneficio dall'avere il Vangelo nella loro vita, poi pregare per loro .. Ho e ho intenzione di scrivere la mia testimonianza in una riserva del Libro dei mormoni che ho e dare a lei e preghiamo che avrà lo Spirito Santo con lei .....

And In German





Hallo,


Es hat auf jeden Fall schon eine Weile her, seit ich zuletzt geschrieben und ich wollte sagen, ich würde euch auf dem Laufenden halten, das ist, was ich jetzt mache ...


Der Grund, warum ich wählte diesen Titel Durch Den Monsun (Durch den Monsun) zu verwenden ist, weil es wie die Welt ist durch einen Monsun von seinen eigenen mit Menschen kommen in das Evangelium von Jesus Christus und sich taufen und ihr Leben zu ändern los ist, aber es sind auch die Menschen immer noch da draußen, die in Not sind es ... Und ich kenne eine Person, die ich denke, es braucht in ihrem Leben in diesem Moment in der Zeit, weil sie durch die Bewegungen der Monsun gehen .. Und es ist schwer für sie gewesen ...


Und ich habe das Gefühl, dass mir zu sagen hat, um ihr ein Buch Mormon aber ich will es nicht zurück zu werfen in mein Gesicht, wenn Sie das, was ich für den Versuch, diese Person, die mir nahe ist, zu helfen wissen, bedeuten ... Aber es muss ihre Entscheidung, und der Herr wird ihr helfen, ich weiß das, weil sie meine Schwester ist und ich liebe sie, sie ist meine beste Freundin und ich haben gebetet für sie sein, mehr glücklich und haben die nötige Kraft, um an laufenden durchlaufen sein der Monsun ....


Bitte, wenn Sie eine Person, die Sie wissen, dass vielleicht aus mit dem Evangelium in ihrem Leben zu profitieren, dann für sie zu beten .. Ich habe und werde ich mein Zeugnis in einem der Ersatz-Buch der Mormonen habe ich zu schreiben und gib es ihr und beten, dass sie den Heiligen Geist mit ihr zu haben .....

What Makes You Beautiful

Hey Hey,


I've decided to my blog about "what makes you beautiful"  to me it doesn't matter what you look like on the outside its on the inside what matters? isn't it? what do you think? Because I've been brought up to believe that it's more important on the inside rather than the outside, because yes I ain't beautiful but I like my personality which is more fun.


But the thing is my personality can change from being hyper to depressed quite quick but that happens to a lot of people! But I'm happier that my personality is now more hyper and outgoing and in some ways funny and can be boring and yes I say random things sometimes but that's who I am and I ain't changing that for no one because it's who I am, its the way Heavenly Father made me and he loves me because of how I am...  Ha-Ha!


So I want to know what makes you beautiful? 


You may use my blogs in some of your stuff, but I would like you to ask permission first though because otherwise it's stealing my ideas of what I have written and that's not a nice thing to do to someone who takes time out just to write these things down when I don't have to because I do have more important things to do in my life like, study my scriptures, write in my journal, look after my family, pack my stuff up to move, look after my animals, do exercise and look and apply for college courses (which isn't an easy thing to do when you don't really have the time to do it, but hey it's so much fun) and the bad thing is that I have to pay about £320 for the course I want to do... 


And one thing for this June is that my church has asked us LDS to invite someone who is inactive at church or who doesn't go to church which is a fun thing to do, and I agree with this because it gives people a chance to know about what our church is about and the truth about the gospel of Jesus Christ and this has given me an idea..


I would like you to invite some one you know who is having trouble in their lives at this time and invite them to church sometime during the month of June and see if they enjoy it and invite them more often or if you know anyone who's inactive invite them back to church. Because I know that the Holy Ghost will help them have the strength that they need and the confidence in you for inviting them.... 


So another blog over and I'm still together!!! Ha-Ha!! 




Goodbye and remember love thy neighbours as I love thyself.... 

Serious sun burns!!! so not fun!!

Hello, friends and new people who I don't know...


Today I'm writing about getting serious sunburns, I sunbathed yesterday and for the consequence I got serious burns down my back, on my legs and my arms and it's so painful. I don't recommend you do it, it hurts so much and it's that painful I can hardly walk which is no fun but the best bit is that it didn't stop me going to church... Ha-ha, I kicked its butt, and now it has its on back on me...




If anyone has gotten sun burn, like mine, how did you cope? I prayed and ask Heavenly Father to take away the pain that I had this morning and he did so that I could go to church and have sacrament, Investigators class and relief society... And for me knowing that he did that for me to take away my suffering it awesome... It just goes to prove how much heavenly father does love us as his children, sons and daughters... 


what has heavenly father helped you with??

Catch the wave of the gospel of Jesus Christ

Hello, Again after so many weeks of not writing... it's finally time to write another blog :D haha..


The reason why I've named it " catch the wave of the gospel of Jesus Christ" is because I am listening to this song called "catch your wave" and it got me thinking about how important it is to catch this wave...


I have a question. If you ever feel a feeling that's telling you to do something, will you catch it's wave?
And what was your emotions like when some of you who have already caught that wave? that can lead us all back to our loving Heavenly Father? 


I've found stuff at home difficult lately and stressful with college, but the best thing is that I asked my bishop for a blessing and that's helped me out a lot and I am thankful and so grateful to have this gospel in my life... I know I sound so cheesy right now but it's true.. How many of you have had troubles rise up and find things difficult and knowing that the gospel is here in your lives to read and then pray? for guidance that does happen.. 


I am going to bear my testimony on here: I know that my saviour and redeemer lives and he will come again to redeem us all from our sins and that he is there for us and does answer our prayers even if he doesn't do it straight away. We still get our answers, Heavenly Father loves us all and when we die or pass on we go home to him in his loving presence. I know that this is the true church of Jesus Christ and that the prophet Joseph Smith is the prophet of revelation, and that Prophet Thomas S. Monson is the true prophet of the Lord today who speaks the truth of all things...


I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ .Amen. 


one more thing I ask is that if you have the feeling to look up our church, please don't ignore it it's the holy ghost helping you so that you may have happiness and joy in your life for all eternity.. and please if this does happen don't be afraid, Jump and catch your wave!!

Serving a mini mission

Hello, 


I haven't done a post in ages.. So I thought I'd do this one to update you on what's been going on lately. Last week I served a mini mission with some sister missionaries in Peterborough and it was one of the best things that I've ever done and I'm definitely wanting / doing a full time mission. Which would be so amazing to do while I'm still young enough to serve one, If I had a chance to chose where I could serve it would have to be in Utah so I could watch general conference in person or anywhere in the world except Africa, no offence or anything I'm just not really into the hot weather over there... 


Sounds strange huh? but it's this weird thing that I have, I don't like flying but I don't mind flying to do a mission for the church I will need to get over my fear so that's the best way to do it! And Heavenly Father would watch over me so that nothing does happen but if it does then it can't be helped.... But hopefully nothing would happen on a plane while I'm on it.... haha I'm rambling on and on.... so goodbye for now xx

Finally Getting Baptized

Hey, 


new blog finally I know I haven't done one in ages, I've been really busy with church and other stuff like, organizing my baptism date which is actually happening on 14 January.... I'm looking forward to it but I'm nervous about getting dunked under :).... I don't why I'm nervous I just am, if your a member of the church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints and your baptized let me know what it's liked rather than being so nervous about it... I should be excited and I am because after I've been in the church for a year, I'm going to sign up and serve a mission for the church, so that I can spread and teach about about Christ's gospel and why he's important to everyone :)..... 


So I hope you enjoy this blog :D let me know about the baptism nervous feeling is normal or not??
