April 7^th

Dear Mom,

As I got to talk to you the other night there isn’t much that I need to work out. (Taft’s mission president had him call home when he learned that Taft’s grandfather would shortly pass away.) Conference will be this upcoming week for me since translations and everything. But I did however get to watch one talk the other night when we were with a member for dinner.  I like writing poems, this is a poem I wrote when I heard about Grandad.

 Dear World 

There is a life after death

I know this to be true

It is why I’m out here sharing that message with you

When you look at your life

You see the good and the bad

But look at it now and see 

What good the bad has shared?

For without those experiences

You would not have known

That Jesus Christ is your savior

You would not have known the difference between good and bad

You would not be able to remember the ones you love

The people you helped

And the things family did for you.

You’ve only got one life

Don’t waste a second

So I will say this

Smile love, and live your life with the knowledge that Christ is walking beside you wanting to help you.

All you have to do is let him

This week was a very big eye opener to how cool everyone in Taiwan is. To how cool every missionary is. And how much the lord relies on the missionaries. We are his driving force to share with the world that he exists, he cares and he wants you to be able to live with him again. For all those that are reading this I hope that you will watch conference and listen to the prophets words. It is free to listen to. They are wonderful men that you can’t help but love. And they are Gods voice on the earth. 

The atonement exists. Jesus Christ is our Savior and because of him we will live again, as a matter of fact we get to live with God again. But do not take my word for it, read the book that testifies of it, read it from the start. There are twelve more testimonies of it right there and we still get to read the book!  It is roughly 600 pages. That is it. It is shorter than Harry Potter, Eragon or Eldest. So I will ask you once again to read the book and see how your life changes after reading it. Read it with interest, read it sincerely, and I promise you your life will change for the better. I love you all, and I want you all to know that I do not write words in my letters that are meaningless I think about and write each letter with the hope that something I say will you. Read your scriptures say your prayers.

 Love Elder Green
