Semana 17... - Week 45 - Monday, August 14, 2017

Well another week has come and gone. There has been a huge push in our mission to use the Book of Mormon a lot more. It has been really cool. One of the biggest things we do is share scriptures with people on the street or on their porch. Then they usually think its the bible. Its not. So then we explain it and stuff and it has been way cool. The Book of Mormon has the converting power that no person will ever have. So why not try and help people read the Book of Mormon? It has really helped alot. We have been teaching this recent convert that leaves to BYUI in a few weeks. She told us that she wants to finish the whole Book of Mormon before she goes. Which is so awesome. She is only in 2 Nephi so she has got some work to do! 

This week I read in Alma 26 which is probably one of my favorite chapters in the whole book. It is Ammon and his brother talking basically. Aaron tells Ammon that he is being boastful and Ammon basically replies by saying that he is only boasting in God and the strength that he can give him. I also love verse 27 where it talks about what happened when they were depressed or discouraged on their missions. I remember before i left on my mission there was a return missionary in my ward that had just gotten home. He came and talked to us priests. He shared Alma 26:27 and how it helped him on his mission and boy does it help and is it true. I hope you all can find peace from the scriptures the more you read them. I hope you all can share a scripture that stood out to you this past week with someone. That could be your family, a friend or even me! I think i count as friend too. Well hope all is good in your lives. You guys are awesome!
