"The Importance of the Book"

What is up y'all! It's been 3 full weeks and I'm doing what I can to survive. No it's actually super nice and my comp and I are having a great time! 

Our teaching pool is pretty limited and we don't have any investigators so we keep calling members. We are in round 2 of calling all the members in our ward and setting up meetings so that's fun. We are trying to come up with new ways to find and we are about to implement a few so look out for next weeks letter for some more info. We have to get creative with no in-person contact, no lessons at the church with members, no eating with members, no in house service projects, and some other stuff. The one person that answers the phone the most is the voicemail lady so we may have to get her number and see if she wants the discussions hahaha. 

This email is entitled "The Importance of The Book" pretty much because it's super important. The Book I'm referring to is the Book of Mormon. In the first two weeks I had a super hard time coming up with the words to say but I could understand what they said. It was super frustrating for me and I didn't know how much longer it was going to last. I've honestly never been a super strong scripture studier and I talked to one of the ZL's and he helped me realize the importance of The Book. As soon as I started really reading it from the beginning I have seen my thoughts and my words connect for the first time ever! It felt like my words were blocked off by a wall and reading the BoM just tore down that wall and let the words flow. Such a neat experience for me and it allowed me to know and gain a greater testimony for the importance of the 1 thing that holds everything together in the church, The Book of Mormon.
