hey hows it going family !
sorry this might be a rushed letter.. alot happend this week it was great!. so last week we got all those referrals. well they just kept coming after that haha.. most of them were old ones but we contacted 10 !! haha it was awesome 2 of them became new investigators and are way nice. one is this dude from bolgaria or how ever that is spelt... he has a cool acsent.. he is a truck driver too ha... so hopefully i can relate to him a lil. dad you might need to help me on that one haha. we also finally got to meet with an investigator we had not seen in a while. it was an amazing lesson the spirit was with us every step of the way. it was like alma and amulek... we could desern her very thoughts. she felt it was God talking to her. she told us some of the stuff she is going through and how she is ready to start the long journy to true repentance. it was so cool. it was a baring witness to me again the power of the gospel of Jesus Christ and how through him we can be lifted from ANY burden we have. that we CAN with out a doubt be cleansed from our imperfections that bring us sadness.
the rest of the week went really well haha on saturday our ward mission leader fed us and he is from gana africa and he fed us one of his africa dishes haha it was PEANUTBUTTER SOUP! hahah sounds wierd huh! it acually was not too bad i kinda liked it. haha.
so the reason im emailing tuesday is because yesterday we had this new thing that the mission headquarters wants us to start doing its like just a zone training thing... anyway it was kinda like a mini zone conferance. it was sooooooo awesome the spirit was there so strong at the meeting. it was about the book of mormon and how important it truly is. how all the prophets like mormon and moroni gave the entire like and went through soo much to make sure that we would have this sacred book to help us. they saw our day and new the things we would go through. pres. shumway wants all of us to use the book of mormon to resolve peoples concerns and to relate to them. we put up all these senariose that some people would have and each one we were able to relate some thing in the book of mormon to then and help resolve their conserns it was such a testimony to me the divinity and power of the book of mormon. everything we go through in this life there is ALWAYS some thing in the book of mormon that can help us and bless our lives. it truely is the words of God through prophets that are all for our blessing and help. i also learned a wonderful and really cool truth that i never saw before. i am a living whitness that the book of mormon IS another testiment of our Lord. i know with all my heart that the Savior died for us that He is the living Son of our Heavenly Father. the book of mormon was the only book i have ever read front to cover. my testimony came from reading the book mormon because it is all i read before! i hope that made sence it was really cool to see that and know that my testimony of the Savior came from reading it and praying and that was just yet another reaffermering witness that this wonderfull book is true!.
it was an awesome week love you tons
