Hey friends! I don’t really know how to start out this week, so just hi, I guess. Last week was full of a lot of administrative stuff, like cleaning our area book and meeting with Ward Mission Leaders. We knocked a few houses each day, but never got anywhere. But that’s okay! The best missionary work is done through the members anyway. Like with Chris! He’s still on date for the 9th of June, mostly because he’s set on getting baptized in Utah lake. It would be so much easier if he would just do it in a chapel, but he’s the one getting baptized so we let him make the decisions. Anyway, I brought him up because he’s a prime example of why member missionary work is so amazing. The number one reason behind why Chris is getting baptized is because his member neighbors and member wife have just loved him to death. Now, that’s not what is converting, that’s the Holy Ghost doing that, but he wouldn’t even have been open if he didn’t have so many wonderful examples around him. Anyway, that’s my plug for member missionary work, kudos to the Fox Hollow Ward for being a great example. So most of the week was spent doing that, except for Sunday, we taught a lot on Sunday. Granted, most of it was in church classes like Sunday school and mission prep, but still it was pretty fun. Yeah, that’s pretty much a summary of the week.
On a more spiritual note, the Book of Mormon is amazing! I had the opportunity to finish it again this week. It’s almost sad when I get into Moroni because it’s like counting down the last chapters, and when you get to chapter 10 it’s super surreal. It’s like parting with an old friend after a long journey. And then meeting right back up. Because you start the Book of Mormon again. That’s just the way it is, it might seem ridiculous reading the same book over and over again, but that’s the beauty of it. No matter how many times you read it, you learn something new. It’s still the word of God. The spirit still speaks to you as you read. Even though the revelation you receive is different each time, it’s still revelation. It is my personal belief that in time the Book of Mormon will be considered the single most influential book in human history, closely followed by the Bible, which is just as much the word of God. I just love the scriptures so much, and I just want others to feel the same way. So go read the Book of Mormon! Read the Bible! Do something to further your eternal progression. I promise you it won’t hurt you to take some time away from a screen (I say that as I’m typing this on an iPad 🤣) to read the LITERAL word of God. You’re welcome in advance.
Have a great week!
