On Tuesday we had Zone Conference and it was all about the Book of Mormon and how truly important it is in people's conversion. My testimony of theBbook of Mormon has grown so much as I have applied the teachings of it to my own life. In the Introduction, Joseph Smith says that the Book of Mormon is the most correct book and that a man would get nearer to God by abiding by its precepts. This has for sure happened to me, on average it says Jesus Christ every 1.7 verses. There is no way it can't be from God. I got to see a bunch of MTC companions and past companions while I was there. It was a good time and filled with the spirit.
James who I talked about last week, we have had a really hard time getting in contact with him. Pray that we can because he is ready to receive it into his life!

Sunday was Stake Conference and the speakers talked about relying on Christ to get through trials. One of my favorite scriptures is Helaman 5:12 which talks about making Christ our rock and when the temptations of Satan come upon us we will have all power to resist it. It was a very powerful conference.
Also on Sunday we got a call from a member saying he has someone who wants to hear the gospel. We go and visit these people and turns out Elder Crafts had taught them before but they just disappeared over night and they lost contact. They were all talking about how they want to be baptized and be sealed in the temple. The father is a member, he has been teaching them all about the gospel so they are already super knowledgeable. It really showed me that even though sometimes we may struggle to find new people to teach that he will lead those who are prepared to hear the gospel right to us.
I have been studying in the book of Alma this past week specifically the story of Ammon and King Lamoni. The one thing that impressed me is the love that Ammon had for the king even though he was going to persecute him. He served him to the best of his ability and never faltered from the gospel. We can all learn from his example of living the gospel everyday and being an example to those around us who may not be members of the church yet. As we truly love and serve all of God's children, we are serving God. We and they will be blessed for the efforts that are put forth. These blessings may not come immediately but they will come whether in this life or in the life to come. Be faithful.
