What happens after the resurrection?
It is at the time of resurrection that each of us will be judged individually by Jesus, our Savior. This final judgment will be based on our desires, actions, and choices.
Revelation 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
Only God and Jesus know our hearts and our life circumstances perfectly, so only they can judge us perfectly. This judgment will be one of mercy, healing, and love.
God’s ultimate goal is to help all His children return to live with Him in the celestial kingdom. Yet it is our choices here and now that will shape where we spend eternity. We must believe in Jesus Christ, repent of our sins, be baptized in His name, and receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. We also need to keep the commandments throughout the rest of our lives and repent when we fall short.
Salvation is possible because of Jesus Christ.Neither the Resurrection nor salvation from our sins would be possible without Jesus Christ. He suffered for our sins so that when we pray for forgiveness and try to change, we can be clean. He also died on the cross and rose from the dead. Jesus’s power over death means everyone will be resurrected, whether they believe in Him or not. Because of Jesus, death is not the end. The Book of Mormon gives additional insight and teaches about the role of Jesus Christ in Heavenly Father’s plan for us. By reading the Book of Mormon and praying to God, you can know about the reality of God’s plan.
Think about this, you only have a little time living this life on earth. President Dieter F Uchtdorf talks about four questions; How is your journey going?Are you on the right course?Are you becoming the person you were decided to be? And wanted to become?Are you making choices that will help you to return to your father in heaven?

Thank you, Elder David….

Sapos yu wan YSA wei wantem part long upcoming FSY blong olgeta youths, mi laekem blong serem mesej ia long yu....

I'd like to share with you a powerful scripture from 3 Nephi 5:13, which says: "Behold, I am a disciple of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. I have called of him to declare his word among his people, that they might have everlasting life."

In this verse, we're reminded of the importance of following the call to serve others. As disciples of Jesus Christ, we're called to spread His message and bring light to those who needed His light in their lives..
Just like the disciple in this scripture, we too have been called to serve others. We may not be called to declare God's word publicly, but we can still be a disciple by serving those around us with kindness, compassion, and love.

I invite you to ask yourselves:

* What does it mean to be a disciple of Jesus Christ?
* How can you apply your talents and abilities to serve others?
* What small acts of service can you do today that can make a big difference in someone's life?

Remember, serving others is not just about what we do, but why we do it. We serve because we love God and want to follow His example. We serve because we believe in the power of kindness and compassion.

Let's remember that our true goal is not just to learn how to be a volunteer, but to help heal the youths who have been emotionally and spiritually wounded as well. Let's strive to be disciples of Jesus Christ by serving others with love and compassion.

Gud moning long yumi evriwan:
Hemia wan funny stori blong yumi…
Some places can be very uncomfortable to walk on specially when it is raining. We went to visit a golden family for the first time. But the location of their house is quite special. They live inside a mountainous area in a forest like location with a lot of slopes where we had to hike up and down. We were in a bit of luck on our first visit to their house because it was raining very hard. On the last slope down to their house (which is quite high), my companion slipped and she ended up sliding all the way down to the front door of the house. She was such a good sportsman that we and the family ended up laughing our hearts out even before we could introduce ourselves. Oh, good times!—- hemia we Yu ridim ia hemi storian blong tu missionary sista ia…

Yufala pasem wan gudfala dei…

"For behold, again I say unto you that if ye will enter in by the way, and receive the Holy Ghost, it will show unto you all things what ye should do."
How can we have the influence of the spirit to be with us always?...

Hemi smol experience we hemi g*t blong serem long yumi:
Halo,

Its been a week now at the field.

First day on the field, I was all hyped, all pumped up energy was crazzzy, feeling the spirit to the maaaax 💫💯, man i couldnt wait to get out there and serve,, i was telling my comps, I was likee "STOP THE CARR" (bc we just left the house) "AND LETS KNOCK THE DOORSS RIGHTTT HEREEE YERRRR."
Yeah we didnt,, we stopped at the office and use spend the whole day there hahaha.

But yeah luv my comp and the other two elders in our house, they so cool and chill haha.
I shared my testimoni on Sunday which is my first Sunday and I am so grateful to start my mission lo blacksand ward, my home ward.
so the testimony I shared I wasn't trynaaa aim for AP💥 I was tryna aim for MISSION PRESIDENT YERRRRR 💫💫 jokes jokes ended up doing me testimony same old same old, but my testimoni of the Book of Mormon grew so big and i just love this book so muj (Magic book) and im trying to gain more knowledge from it.
but yeah pretty much throughout this week was pretty much service.

I was so excited to serve here and to help my ward and my families too.
I Learnt from president RUSSELL M. NELSON "start with the end in mind" meaning to think celestial in all that you do, so our decisions are celestial.

One quote i apply was "faith and fear does not exist at the same time", so while your doing your findings whether that be door knocking street contacting or any of that your either relying on fear or faith when finding, and man i just love that quote because it can either make you or break you.
