Lets Go Back to Hardin

There is a famous song that goes around our mission, entitled "Lets Go Back to Hardin." Its one of my favorites due to a catchy beat, sweet lyrics. This song bring me back to the good old days, when I lived in the Hardin trailer. We had an awesome B-ball court next to us, where many of classic games were played. Sometimes we would lower the hoop, dunk it like Jordan.(HAHAHAHAHA) How could I ever forget the train that would roll by so very often, blowing its whistle loud and proud. Or going to pow-wows during the famous Crow fair, eating fry bread that was delicious. Hardin, Crow Agency, down south almost to the Wyoming border was my home for 9 months. I made friendships that would last a lifetime, memory's to bring me up when I am down. There is something very powerful when we go back, remember the past, use it to become better in the future. Written in journals are my memory's that help me go back, help me to remember how to be happy. Written in the scriptures are the word of the prophets, the words that never fade over time, lead us to eternal life through Christ. One thing I would have done better when I was there is help the Native Americans realize the Book of Mormon is history of there people. "Written to the Lamanites..., to the convincing that Jesus is the Christ."  The book starts in 600 B.C, when Lehi leaves his home in Jerusalem to go to the Americas. When they left, they were one. When they arrived, contention, pride, anger, caused them to split into two separate nations called the Nephites and Lamanites. After thousands of years of warfare, "all were destroyed except the Lamanites, and they are among the ancestors of the American Indians." As stated before, the books main purpose is to convince all the world that Jesus is the Christ, to go back to the traditions of our fathers. Let us all GO BACK to believing in Christ, following his gospel. To the Lamanites who would survive, Mormon wrote " know ye that ye must come to the knowledge of your fathers" and follow his gospel. Enos payed and worked all his days for his brethren, the Lamanites. That they might receive the record he read and wrote in(Book of Mormon), that it might be for there salvation. I loved working with the native people. I will always remember the day I left, I prayed with faith, with all my heart, that the Native American people would be brought back out of the hills, to the knowledge of the truth. I felt the Lords peace and comfort, knowing that he heard my prayers, that it is his work, that he would help bring them to his gospel, to partake of eternal life.
