My birthday was this week! That was pretty fun. It was on the day of zone conference. The STLs gave me a birthday boy pin that I had to wear the whole time, and then a crown for lunch. My district is so fun. So I've been in a trio for a week now. I still have no news about my new companion, so I'm still working alone in my area. That's kind of weird. But it's been really fun, and we've been working hard, and having lots of incredible lessons. We had 8 friends at church, and Yaline is incredible. She's such a good new member/missionary. We've had a join us for a few lessons, and her testimony is so powerful.
I want to share something I've been experiencing this week. I think sometimes I read the Book of Mormon too slowly (which is sometimes really good), but it think I've been limiting the effect that the Book of Mormon had been having on me. I recently set a new goal to read the whole Book of Mormon before this transfer is done, so that's about a month. I'm not writing anything. I'm just reading and highlighting everything that points to or testifies of Jesus Christ. So far, every page is marked multiple times. It's interesting, because it the 3 days that I've started this new goal, I've already felt a dramatic decrease in temptation. I'm not saying the temptations aren't there, but my interest in them is so much weaker. I don't think I've ever fully felt the power of the Book of Mormon like this, but it's great. So please read the Book of Mormon, and you don't need to make it hard to read by trying to mark too much. Just read it with an open heart and see what happens. If it's true, it's true. And if it's true, it's powerful. Love you guys! Sorry I didn't have much else to write!!
