Thanks for this message Elder Tait, it really resonated with me as the Bishop of our YSA Ward as I hear this all the time, "how can I know for my self". Your instruction in Alma on how to find out for our selves, through fasting, prayer, and putting in the work is a great lesson that I hope to share with my Ward the next time I have a teaching moment with them. It sounds like you are having a rewarding mission and learning a lot about sacrifice and hard work. I know your parents are proud of you and the rest of the family as well. Keep up the good work that you are doing, I promise you that it will be something you cherish the rest of your life.
We love you brother!

Hey everyone! I hope you all had a great week and a Merry Christmas! Christmas here was super good we spent the day eating lots of food and visiting people who were alone it was awesome to be able to go and help some people feel God's love on Christmas. The next day we took a bus to Montreal for a meeting. We stayed the night in an apartment with 4 other elders it was a fun night! We had our meeting the next day and then hopped back on the bus back to Ottawa and we've been back here working since then!I wanted to share a scripture I really liked this week it's Alma 5:45-4645 And this is not all. Do ye not suppose that I know of these things myself? Behold, I testify unto you that I do know that these things whereof I have spoken are true. And how do ye suppose that I know of their surety?46 Behold, I say unto you they are made known unto me by the Holy Spirit of God. Behold, I have fasted and prayed many days that I might know these things of myself. And now I do know of myself that they are true; for the Lord God hath made them manifest unto me by his Holy Spirit; and this is the spirit of revelation which is in me.Alma literally saw an angel, but when it came down to him knowing the truthfulness of the gospel he had to put in the work to fast and pray and he came to know the truth through the Holy Ghost. I haven't seen an angel like Alma, but I put in the work and received an answer by the Holy Ghost that the gospel is true. I know that the Book of Mormon is true and the Gospel of Jesus Christ has been restored to the earth! Go try it out for yourself! Have a great week!Love you!Elder Tait
