Hey everybody!

To be completely honest, my desires to write letters has significantly dropped since the start of my mission. If you have sent me a letter and have not received a reply I apologize. I will do my best to respond ASAP.

I had a very interesting week and a particularly pensive morning. It is very interesting just how much you grow during a mission. My viewpoints on a lot of different things have changed and I feel like I am seeing things as they really are.

I can best explain it through an example. Before my mission I was a huge fan of music. I still am. However as I have seen what the world is becoming and realizing that I am "behind the times" on a lot of different things, I have come to the conclusion that, things are simply going to be different afterwards. At the Leadership Training Meeting we had before our last transfer meeting, President Beck shared the following quote: "You are called of God. It doesn't matter what you were before. YOU ARE DIFFERENT NOW!" That is such a true statement.

I have come to a lot of conclusions since I have been back in Montana. Being an assistant really shed a new light on my view of mission work and just what can be done to take the work to a new level. One of my favorite scriptures in the Book of Mormon talks about how small and simple things bring to pass great changes. I always knew that but, coming into a new situation I have been able to see just what small things can be done to make a huge difference in a certain area.

The gospel is such an amazing thing. It is as deep as eternity but you can study it as if it is the most simple thing in the world. I have such a testimony that this is the only true gospel in the world. There is no other place where we can find the fullness of the teachings of Jesus Christ and find the authority to complete necessary ordinances for salvation. It is such a pleasure to be able to share what I know to be true with other people and know without a doubt that there is no other place I would rather be than right here, right now. I truly believe that I have found myself as an individual. I know that I am a chosen son of God sent here with the purpose to make the world a better place and share the gospel with those searching for the truth. I know that Jesus Christ is our Savior and our Redeemer. There is no other way nor any other means by which we can be saved save it be through Christ. I know that the scriptures are the word of God and that the Book of Mormon is another Testament of Jesus Christ. I KNOW PEOPLE CAN CHANGE. They can overcome fear, they can feel of the Savior's love, and they can live with their families forever. There is nothing more important in this life than the work we will do in our homes. I know I love my family very much and I want ALL of them to be with me for eternity. I know that it is possible to break social morays to follow the example of Jesus Christ. In the end, it is pleasing the Father by following Jesus Christ that really matters. 

I love each of you. I truly do. You are each very special to our Father in Heaven.

In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.

Sincerely,

Elder Klemme
