Since being on my mission, I have come to LOVE the Book of Mormon and know it is true! In return, there have been many different responses Iv'e also received. Some say we have a bible and need no more, the Book of Mormon is not for me, the Book of Mormon doesn't testify of Christ, Joseph Smith wrote it, and a whole lot more. Some will accept it and clearly know its true but then don't believe the church to be true when in the introduction it says that if the Book of Mormon is true, then so is the prophet Joseph Smith, as well as the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Others tell us, I need to read the whole thing before I can know. Do you need to eat a whole apple to know it tastes good?
Through this all, my testimony of the Book of Mormon stands strong. I know is true, and I know anyone that reads it with an open heart can come to know by the Holy Ghost as well. The Book of Mormon 'proves to the world that the holy prophets are true and that God does call and inspire men to his holy work in this age and generation as well as generations of old.' (D&C 20:11) The Book of Mormon is convincing evidence of the restoration. The Book of Mormon answers questions to the soul. It draws us closer to God than any other book. It is evidence that God loves and speaks to us today!
I am so grateful for the Book of Mormon. In this mission we have been challenged to read the Book of Mormon in 30 days. (about 18 pages a day) I have done it a few times now, and it's truly amazing! I know that it is the word of God and that it is another testament of Jesus Christ. This book has changed me and I've seen the change in my investigators when they read and pray about it. How blessed we are to have the Book of Mormon and the restored gospel of Jesus Christ on the earth again today!
Anyways.... I don't know why I just shared that... but I did.
FURTHERMORE: This week was awesome! We taught a TON of lessons and found a lot of new people!! There was a baptism of this lady Veronica and her 2 sons. (husband already a member) She has been meeting with missionaries for 4 years. We would go over there and read the Book of Mormon with her; but the elders mainly taught her.
On Friday night we went store contacting in Walgreen's and a lady walked in bleeding from her nose. We asked if she was okay and she told us she had just had surgery and was there for medicine. We were able to teach her about priesthood blessings and asked her is she would like one. She said she would love it and was so grateful for church people! She hasn't been to church in 16 years and said she is looking for one!
P.S. Ya'll should look up this on Easter:
