We had a great week this week! We found some new people to teach and had blessings poured upon us all week! It was so cool! Its always great to have those reminders that God is mindful of us and always willing to give us the help we need, when we need it.
I finished reading the Book Of Mormon this week! And I am now going through and reading it again! It is amazing how you can read and re-read a chapter and still get something new from it every time! Kind of like the temple... always learning!
I thought about reading the bible, or the Doctrine & Covenants, but i heard this quote saying "It is better to have a deep understanding of simple doctrine than a simple understanding of deep doctrine" Not that the Bible and D&C is deep doctrine, and of course it is God's word and extremely important. But the Book Of Mormon is the keystone of our religion, it is the physical evidence that what we teach is true, and so i am working to have a greater knowledge of what truly holds our gospel together before moving on to other things.
And yes, this is turning into a challenge. I have a little over a year left on my mission. This is TONS if time. I CHALLENGE EVERYONE TO READ THE BOOK OF MORMON ONCE THROUGH BEFORE I GET HOME. (i put it in capitals for everyone who just skims through my emails, dont lie, i know you all do it)
I promise you, that as you do this, you will find to be true what is in the introduction of the Book Of Mormon "Those who pursue this course and ask in faith will gain a testimony of its truth and divinity by the power of the Holy Ghost. ". Let me know if you are planning on doing it so i can follow-up with you!
I am sorry this email is a bit short, i promise i will do better next week! But i love you all, i thank you all so much for everything you do!
