This week had some great moments. Met a guy named Hanz at the booth who asked us for a copy of the book of Mormon. Get this. He has read it 6 times. 6 times!!! Just wait, he is atheist! So I definitely realize the importance of faith and prayer mingled with reading scriptures. The book of Mormon is such a tool in my life that has strengthened my testimony of Jesus Christ and I know it changes lives. It has changed mine! So with Hanz, he likes the story and he studies theology. Out of all he has studied, he says Mormonism is the most logical and has best standards and what not. That was quite the experience.
We had zone conference on Thursday. Focused on the Book of Mormon and how it strengthens conversion. How reading daily and implementing the teachings changes heart and character. President Bednar once said, "Testimony is what you know to be true. Conversion is being true to what you know." So true and the Book of Mormon is the tool of conversion. This conference someone said, "The capacity to endure is directly proportionate to the strength of your testimony and depth of your conversion." I just love continually learning of the Book of Mormon teachings and the trick is to help investigators see that. Love this gospel!
We received two media referrals this week. Pretty amazing. We aren't the greatest at working at getting referrrals ourselves so thankfully Mormon.org is supplying (hint: we need to get on it!)
The talk I listened to, yes listen is key, is "the First Great commandment" by Holland. So good and inspiring.
Love ya'll! Keep warm and have a Happy Thanksgiving!
