Message from a Missionary Serving from the Banbury Ward:
One of the experiences most meaningful to me so far on my mission has definitely been seeing the change the gospel makes in people's lives. Growing up engulfed in the Gospel I had a skewed perspective on how life can be different without the influence of Jesus Christ in our lives. Being here meeting people who have lacked this experience in their lives has changed my perspective. My mind goes to a friend I met in the early months of my mission named Angel Romero. When we met him he was in despair. In a new country with none of his family around him, struggling to find work and see hope in his situation. As we introduced to him the simple principles of the Gospel of Jesus Christ he completely changed. He gained hope through the Atonement of Jesus Christ and began to shine light on to others in his life. He gained a perspective of the love God has for him and began to show that love to those near him. Now he carries himself with confidence and leans on the Savior for peace and rest. I have come to learn that this is possible for every one of God's children to find. It has changed my perspective on how I view others and treat them, and I know the Gospel of Jesus Christ can change everyone. I testify that Jesus Christ is the light, the truth, and the way in His name Jesus Christ, amen.
