Last email from Elder Brown

I love the Lord, in Him my soul delights. Upon His word, I ponder day and night. He´s heard my cry, brought visions to my sleep; and kept me high through deserts and the deep. He´s filled my heart with His consuming love, and bourne me high on wings of His great love.

Yet oft I groan, ó wretched man am I! My flesh is weak, and I´m encompassed by a world of sin, which holds me in its thrall, if I give in and to temptations fall. Then strength grows slack, I waste in sorrow´s veil - all peace destroyed, my enemies prevail.

Awake, my soul! No longer stoop in sin! Rejoice, my heart and let me praise again! Ó Lord, my God, who is my rock and stay - to keep me strict, upon His straight, plain way! Oh let me shake at the first sight of sin - and thus escape my foes without and in.

I love the Lord, in Him my soul delights.

 

Jesus é o Cristo vivo. Sei que Ele vive e que me redimiu. Sinto completamente inútil falar Dele, sabendo das minhas iniqüidades e pecados. Sinti o grande amor que traz para nossas vidas e através da Expiação eterna Dele, posso voltar estar com ele - se eu me arrepender de todos os meus erros.

O Livro de Mórmon é o livro mais correto na face da Terra. Sei que ele não apenas completa a Bíblia, mas traz mais direção e entendimento do que qualquer outro livro consgue fazer. Ele foi feito nos céus e é a pedra fundamental da nossa religião.

Joseph Smith foi mesmo um profeta de Deus. Ele os viu e pôde vé-Los porque o Senhor trabalha como bem quer, e quis se apresentar para um homem. Fizeram com que suportasse a presença Deles para que, espiritualmente, soube o que fazer.

Esta é a Igreja de Jesus Cristo. Mesmo que não fosse a Igreja "verdadeira", ainda seria a melhor - nem por perto. Não é uma Igreja de burros nem de fanáticos - é a mesma organização que sempre estava aqui na Terra quando o Senhor julgou certo a colocar junto com a mensagem do Evangelho de Cristo, através de um profeta vivo.

 

Tudo isso tenho aprendido aqui. Sempre serei um missionário.

(Google) Translation:

 

Jesus is the living Christ. I know He lives and redeemed me. I feel completely useless to speak of Him, knowing of my iniquities and sins. Feel the great love he brings to our lives and through his eternal Atonement, I can be with him again - if I regret all my mistakes. The Book of Mormon is the most correct book on earth. I know he not only completes the Bible, but provides more direction and understanding than any other book consgue do. It was made in heaven and is the cornerstone of our religion. Joseph Smith was indeed a prophet of God. He saw them and can see them because the Lord wants to work as well, and wanted to present to a man. They made their presence that would support that, spiritually, and knew what to do. This is the Church of Jesus Christ. Even if the Church was not "true", it would still be the best - or anywhere near. There is a church of bigots or stupid - it's the same organization that was always here on earth when the Lord put the thought right along with the message of the Gospel of Christ through a living prophet. All this I have learned here. I will always be a missionary.
