Hello!
This week was super super good! We had 5 new investigators this week. That is the most in one week have found my whole mission. It's pretty cool! We had a fair amount of lessons with that as well. The most Elder Gil and I have seen. We have really been trying to find more efficiently and really hone in our skills and we have been very blessed because of it. We have been going through the area book and going through former investigators and old potential investigators. Formers really is a good way. That's all Elder Lund and I had to work with in Pico Rivera last July, so its what we are working with here and we are finding a lot. Now we just got to go through and see why they weren't baptized and see if we can fix their doubts and help them to find happiness.
Yesterday in church, Elder Gil and I attended the youth Sunday school class, for the 16-18 year olds. To teach the class about the scriptures, the teacher had everyone flip to their favorite scripture and share it with the class. It was a really cool activity. The youth all had a common theme. How as you study the Scriptures, You can and will see the Hand of God in your life, guiding you in all things. Nephi also talks about this. In 2 Nephi 32:3 he says "Wherefore, I said unto you, feast upon the words of Christ; for behold, the words of Christ will tell you all things what ye should do." and I really do know that to be true. As we study the Scriptures, and "feast upon" them, not just stare at the words, we really will receive much guidance.
This week, I have decided to amp up my study of the Book of Mormon by utilizing lunch and dinner time and such. It is really such an amazing book. I was inspired to do this by the Joseph Smith video in which whenever someone doubts the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon, he exhorts them to "read it and see for yourself". I have done this multiple times and I can testify to you from personal experience that the Book of Mormon is a true volume of scripture and is the word of God. It really is such an amazing book that can lead and guide all who desire it. I love this knowledge I have in my life, and all that it represents. That Jesus is the Christ, and the Church I have the privileged to represent is His original church once again restored. I know this to be true, and like Joseph Smith, I exhort all who do not have this knowledge, and those who do who want a reminder, to "read it and see for yourself" and I promise that if you do, and pray in faith, the spiritual witness will come, and you too can have, or strengthen, your own testimony.
Until next week,
