Week 22: Zone Conference

This week was good!  We had a zone conference, which was amazing!!  The main focus was on "mission culture", representing the Savior, and Doctrine and Covenants 20:37.  One thing that they touched on is language, and two words in specific: "cool" and "awesome".  That erased about 70% of my vocabulary.. :)

We helped some members build a pig shelter out of trampoline pipe, tin, and 2x4s.  It actually looks pretty good!!  That is what I expected to do all the time on my mission!!  

We did lots of tracting, and found lots of people who are open to hearing a message about Christ!!  We found a phrase this week to use that I can't wait to say to people around Easter!! It's "Since Christ is living, what message does he have for you today?"  I look forward to using that!!

I have been studying in Acts, using Jesus the Christ to more thoroughly explain some things in it, and it has been a great experience to see the doctrines found in the Book of Mormon in the Bible, and it's a very strong witness of how the Book of Mormon fills in the "plain and precious truths" that have been lost from the Bible, in such an easily understood way!!

I testify that Jesus is the Christ, that the Book of Mormon is the word of God, that His word is being established all over the world in the mouth of two (or in my case three) witnesses, and that we can all pray to know if it truly is His word.  All we must do is ask Him to confirm the truth that we read in its pages, and He has promised that we shall receive!  How great a promise!!

I hope all of you have a wonderful week, and remember to Light the World this week!!

Love,
