Power of Christ

Dear Family,

This week has been a bit of a crazy week being in a trio.(3 missionaries) So this week we went to Sister Patty's and it was the most spiritual lesson we've had with her,  as she grows in faith it's led her to have a desire to change or repent and she struggles with smoking. It's amazing to see the Lord's hand in the work. We also had a lesson with this guy that other missionaries were teaching and since he lives in our area we get to teach him so there was 5 missionaries teaching one guy it was pretty funny. We got 4 new investigators this week, and a few potentials. I've seen alot of growth in the less actives we are working with too. I've  also started journaling and keeping a study journal I get so much more out of my studies and I've  listened to alot of talks and my testimony of the Book of Mormon and the church has grown immensely through prayer and reading and writing down our thoughts questions and what we learned. I challenge all of you to read the book of mormon everyday but also to keep a journal. This gospel is the only way to eternal happiness and so many have found it but there are so many who are searching for the truth. This gospel will not take away from what you know it will not take away from your life it will only add to it strengthen it and bring more understanding, love, and purpose. I challenge all to read the Book of Mormon it is the most correct of any book and by reading it we can grow closer to Christ than by any other book and if you pray to know of its truth and divinity you will recive an answer from the only source in which you can trust and that matters and that is God and the Holy Spirit! I know that Jesus is the Christ and that he is my personal Savior I have no idea what your going through or if I can say I've been there but Jesus can. Know that you are never alone and that no one can fall lower than the light of Christ can shine. I love you all and hope you have a wonderful week .
