Hello everyone, happy Monday! Hope everything is going well with you! We are having a great time here, loving it in beautiful Santa Teresita! The branch here is really moving now, we are really excited for the members and the future of the Church here... this last Saturday we had this great activity where we gave a training to the priesthood quorums about ministering and loving others through service and friendship, and there were some really great ideas put forth. I've been reading a lot about the Church of Christ in the first days in Paul's Epistle to the Corinthians, and it makes me really think and be grateful for the Church that Jesus Christ established so that we could become one with Him. Paul writes a lot about unity and being one in purpose and belief, which is one concept the world at large has a hard time grasping, as well as the Saints in Corinth at that time. Paul compares the Church of God to a body- Christ being at the head, but every member- the hands, feet, ears, eyes- playing a key yet different part in carrying out the will of God. That's why they were blessed with a church founded upon the key principles of prophets, apostles, authority, and revelation- so that we all may know where to truly look to be united in bringing to pass the immortality and eternal life of man. All are not called with the same calling, but every member of Christ's Church is given the Spirit, and the power to receive revelation to operate in their calling, that one day we all might be one truly in purpose, even as Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ are one with their desires and purpose. It's such an incredible journey, and I can't describe the joy that comes from participating in the work of our Father, the work of the salvation of men- I am so grateful for the opportunity to be a part of it, and am so grateful for all the incredible examples around us in our fellow disciples of Christ. I love you all, and wish you the best of weeks in unity and love.
Love,
Elder Griffitts
