This week was so much better. Maybe because it's all ending here so everyone is excited and my mind is focused on leaving rather than worrying about what's happening here. Let's see.
We taught our TRC investigator, RosÃ, for the last week. It was such a good lesson. We kinda just had a little devotional, asked her what her favorite thing was, and had her bear her testimony. We were all crying and and the spirit was so strong. Then at the end we asked her if she was a real investigator or really a member, and she told us sh's an investigator, and then proceeded to thank us for everything we've taught and done for her. Goodness, I love her so much.
So when I got here my branch president challenged us to start the Book of Mormon over and try to finish it while we're here. And today I finished it in the temple :) I've read the Book of Mormon before, but never like this. As I read it here, I actually understood what I was reading! And it felt way more like a story. It was so cool to read it here. Also within the past few days, everyone has been talking about Joseph Smith and how crucial he is in the conversion of any member of the church. There's a quote in PMG that says that there's a reason that so many people attack Joseph Smith. If they can bring him down, they bring everything else down. And my choir director talked about it a little bit too. He said that if Joseph Smith wasn't a true prophet, then Thomas S. Monson is just a "cool guy". The Book of Mormon is just a cool story, the church is just like every other one, and the work I'm doing doesn't matter. But Joseph Smith WAS and IS a true prophet, and therefor so is Thomas S. Monson. The Book Of Mormon is the work of God and the truest book on the earth, and the keystone of our religion. Our church is the only true church on the earth, and the work that me and thousands of others are doing is the most important work that can be done. Seriously the Book of Mormon and Joseph Smith are crucial to conversion. Not just for non members but for everyone. You have to have a testimony of Joseph Smith, and the Book of Mormon.
I can't think of much else that happened this week.. Volleyball is still the best, classes are long but helpful, the MTC helps you feel the spirit like never before, and life is good.
I leave to Argentina on Monday, so the next time you'll here from me is a week from Monday, because my P-day changes to Monday. :)
This is RosÃ, our TRC investigator :)
Last temple trip
