Chapter 1
1. I, Elder Rose having been born of goodly parents and having seen the hand of the Lord among my days share with you a record of my dealings with the Lubbockites.
1. I, Elder Rose having been born of goodly parents and having seen the hand of the Lord among my days share with you a record of my dealings with the Lubbockites.
2. Wherefore on the 8th day of the 5th month many Elders and Sisters met in the west side of the land Lubbock. Where we received guidance on how to use our new instruments (phones) as if it were the Liahona.
3. And it came to pass that me and my companion, Elder Pollock, were asked to help enlighten the multitude of our past experiences we had with our new instruments.
4. Therefore we compared it unto what Nephi said concerning the Liahona when him and his family were journeying from the land Jerusalem. And they saw great and marvelous things as they put their faith and diligence unto it.
5. And after the multitude had departed back to their laboring areas. I, Elder Rose departed to a land called Clovis, New Mexico. Where I was to dwell for 24 hours with another missionary who was large in stature and whose name was known as Elder Dotson.
6. And it came to pass as I was in the wilderness of Clovis, we came across a trialed and struggling family who were seeking comfort. And we spake unto them with much sincerity in our hearts. And we spoke of our Savior, Jesus Christ. We spoke of his infinite Atonement that he went through to help us through our times of need. And though we spoke of the comfort that we have felt from our Savior.
7. Wherefore as we spake the power of the spirit came upon them and gave them peace and joy, and helped them I this time.
8. And it came to pass that on the next day in Clovis, we found ourselves offering service at a food bank to help a hungry and thirsty multitude.
9. And it brought us joy to serve these people to help them help others prosper in the rugged wilderness.
Chapter 2
1. And it came to pass that on the morrow We journeyed on back to the land of Lubbock, where I would continue to labor diligently among the Lubbockites.
2. For, the time cometh that we were to meet with a mother and daughter seeking the truthfulness of the word of God.
3. And it came to pass that we did meet with Rachel and Jocelyn and were accompanied with our friend,Brother Jones. And we spake much of the commandments of the Lord. For they are here to bless us here in this probationary state. And as we follow them, it shows our faithfulness to the Savior.
4. And it came to pass that we also spoke much about the Book of Mormon, which testifies of the doctrine and life of Jesus Christ. Wherefore they had many questions concerning this great and marvelous book.
5. But behold, the spirit of the Lord was with us as we spake as though it was a sound of a trump among them. And they also were overcome by the power of the Holy Ghost, and had made a promise to read it. And we promised them that as they did so that our Father which art in Heaven would ease Rachel's temptations of alcohol, cigarettes, and the good green. (weed)
6. And it came to pass that we departed thence to continue to teach and testify of Christ among the Lubbockites.
7. Wherefore, as we were out preaching restored truth we were confronted by a confused creature that looked like something we had beheld once before. And it was a man that had changed his appearance to a woman, even as Bruce Jenner. Therefore we learned that some of the Lubbockites thought we were in the time of Sodom and Gomorrah.
8. But behold, we were taught of the realness of our enemy, Lucifer, and were guided by the spirit wayward to avoid this evil and corrupt being.
9. And it came to pass that we were mentally worn and shaken from our encounter with the strange creature. Even so much that as we retired to our beds we had great and horrible nightmares.
10. Nevertheless we prayed to the Lord for strength and were granted much.
Chapter 3
1. And it came to pass that over the course of our next days we were blessed exceedingly for our righteous desires, even so much that we had but one night where we were not fed by members. And they offered us food which was as sweet as the forbidden fruit which Adam and Eve partook of.
2. And we desired to have more. Thus we remembered of the virtuous young women which we had so persistently written over the course of our days that we may win ,as though a battle, their hearts that they may draw nearer to us.
3. Wherefore as we were thus journeying on we came across many of whom were sick and afflicted. Even so much that they were laiden in bed.
4. But behold, we came and visited them offering them our testimony and blessing. And promise that through their faith that the Lord their God would heal them. And they showed great faith to the words which we shared in their behalf.
5. And thus we continued about the land eastward of Lubbock going from house to house to share of the goodness and mercy of our Heavenly Father.
6. And it came to pass that we found ourselves in the multitude of "Church of Christ" believers. And they attacked our beliefs as though it were a hunter in the wilderness.
7. But behold we again relied on the strength of the Lord to lead and guide us what to say to or persecutors. And thus we were prompted to share many things, but the things we said meant nothing to them.
8. Wherefore we came to the point of much frustration and anger towards our brethren the Lubbockites inasmuch as the raising of voices. But we relied on the Gift of the Holy Ghost to lead me what to say, and we bore testimony of the things which we have come to know through much study, faith, and prayer.
9. Therefore we spoke of the doctrine and life of our loving Savior. For i know that God so graciously sent his beloved son to come and save us from our pains, afflictions and temptations. Because he died for us and was resurrected so that we can become like Him.
10. And we shared of the truthfulness which is held in the restoration of this Gospel through the guidance and hands of a beloved Prophet Joseph Smith. For I know that he was called of God to continue and restore the Gospel that Jesus Christ established while he was on the earth.
11. And it came to pass that our persecutors looked as though they had seen an angel, for they knew that they could not take away the testimony which is in me.
12. And I beheld the importance of what I have come to know is true. Therefore I command you to seek the words of our Savior, and the revalation given to our current Prophet.
Chapter 4
1. Wherefore it came to pass that on the 13th day of the 5th month of the Two thousand and eighteenth year over Trump's reign over the Americans.
2. We beheld that it was sunday. Even so a special sunday. Mothers day. And it came to pass that on this special day we went to our place of worship to obtain a spiritual feast, so that we could thus have the strength and courage to continue on throughout this next week.
3. After being filled by the word of God. We went home and obtained food to sustain our physical bodies. Thus we then set out to spread the truth to those in need.
4. We went about sharing what we know. But no-one would hear us. Wherefore they looked at us as though we were that great and horrible creature. And did not listen to what we knew.
5. Nevertheless we carried on with joy in our hearts. For we knew that they would again have to opportunity to accept this gospel. And thus we were also joyful because it was thus time we would get to speak with our families.
6. And it came to pass that were brought into the Iverson's home, and they fed us a wonderful meal. And it came to pass after our stomachs were filed we spoke with our Mothers who we love dearly. For they have always so generously showed us love and charity, even though we were pains in the butt to raise.
7. Nevertheless our time to talk felt short, but thus it was time to go and continue to journey among the land Lubbock. For this is the calling we have. To go and teach and serve even as Christ did.
8. For behold, I believe I his words. And they have filled my life with much joy. Even so much, that I wasn't to share that with all I come in contact with. I know that he lives and through him we also can live again. I am thus thankful for my knowledge and testimony of the plan of salvation, for I know that this time being away from family may seem long, but to this serve the Lord our God for two years cannot compare to the eternities I will spend with my family.
9. And behold, I Elder Rose know that if we come to him on bended knee having faith. He will be there and bring us forth out of bondage. And this is the testimony which is in me, even so, Amen.
