Pick Up a Bible Not a Bottle

Wow what a week!

So our stake was asked by Elder Ballard and Rasband to do this special

program to bring back the Melchizedek priesthood holders back to

church. It starts with a ward member setting up a meeting with them

and tells them that they prayed to know where to go. Ask them why God

told them to come see them. They ask the missionaries to share a

message. We share the restoration and the member invites them to meet

with us once or twice a week for a month or so. It has been working

very well so far!

The first time I did the first meeting wast this Thursday. We shared the

message of the restoration and I was able to say the words of Joseph

Smith during the first vision. The Spirit was almost tangible in the

room. It was so powerful. I absolutely LOVE the message that we are

able to share and the Spirit that comes as we do. He accepted us to

come over every week and share a message. It was one of the most

powerful experiences on my mission.

Wednesday we go tracting on this one street and found 3 new

investigators within 30 minutes! Wow that was a huge miracle :)

We went on exchanges on friday with the lovely Hermanas. I was able to

go out with Hermana Herrera. She is such an amazing missionary! At the

very end of the exchange we knock on a door and Zay answers. He just

got out of penitentiary a month ago. He was interested and willing to

let us come back! So we went back on Sunday and found out that his

brother is a member and goes to the Spanish ward! They are both coming

to our Book of Mormon class on Thursday and I am extremely excited!!

What a miracle.

Today we went to the Science Museum in Richmond and it pretty much was

the coolest.

I love the gospel and I love sharing it. :) There is nothing I would

rather be doing.
