Moving on with a powerful testimony!

Hi all,
This week was amazing, but also a bit tough.  We had an amazing week with constant teaching appointments, and saw lots of miracles with that, especially since many of the appointments either came through last minute or were with people we hadnt seen in a while, which was such a blessing.  

I have been called elsewhere in the Lord's Vineyard.  I will be transferring out of this area.  I love the people here so much, it will be so hard to leave!  I know that the Lord needs me elsewhere though, and I trust that the people here are in good hands.  This ward is great, and they will be sure to carry on the work we started.  Elder Larson and I worked really hard here and I am proud of what we accomplished. I trust that the Lord knows what is best for the people here, the people in my next area, and me.  So I am preparing to leave. 

I know that Jesus Christ and God restored His gospel in its fullness through Joseph Smith, who was the first prophet in these latter days, and that through the power of God, Joseph Smith translated the Book of Mormon.  I have read it and prayed about it and tested it for myself and found without a doubt that it is unequivocally true.  I have tested Moroni's promise for myself, and I have come closer to Christ through it than any other book.  I have felt of God's immense and overwhelming love for me and for others, and I have seen the power of Christ's atonement change many lives, including my own.  I know that the Gospel of Jesus Christ is the same everywhere, and that the Lord has a plan for me, and everyone.  That plan is for us to be happy through obedience to his commandments and following the example of His son Jesus Christ. 

I am sad to leave, but so excited to see others change their lives through Christ and find true joy in finding their purpose in life. I hope you are all enjoying life, and keep moving forward!
Elder Brown
