El Libro de Mormon-Otro Testimento
de Jesucristo
This week was a week all about the
Book of Mormon. When Elder Christofferson came, he talked a little about
it, so we were going to get trained more on it, as well as study it.
So, at the beginning of the week we got this call asking us to watch for a Book
of Mormon Miracle. We looked and searched all week. And we saw some
pretty great smaller, but bigger in the eternal scheme
of things, miracles.
So, we read and studied, and
eventually had our Zone meeting. It was really good. The beginning
was all about the Book of Mormon. Different groups did trainings in
different areas. We heard miracle stories and it was really
cool. However, the coolest part was the second part.
They asked us each to bring a
blindfold. Two companionships at a time, they led us into the church.
They blindfolded us at the bottom of the stairs and asked us to picture what it
would feel like to really be investigating the church. We were led into a room, blindfolded. There we "met the
missionaries". They taught us some things, and then they had to
literally guide us to this string (Rod of Iron). We had to follow
it, and hope that it would lead us the right way. It was scary, but
honestly I didn't have any other way to go, so I held on. Eventually, we
heard some noises, and they said that we could let go. No, thank you.
I was not hitting any wall. Then one of the other missionaries holding
on to the rod asked if we could trust them, and the missionaries
said, "Yes. We are your missionaries." Then we trusted them
again. We continued that process for a while. Lesson. Back to the
rod. Lesson - Until they sat us down and asked us to pray about the book.
Pretty soon, we were able to see again, and we had been led to Christ (to
baptism). It was an incredible experience. I was reminded of so
much. First, I was reminded that the Book is true and should be used
in every occasion. It is what really brings others to Christ. It is
what leads others to the truth. It really is the keystone of our
religion.
By doing what Moroni says, (having
faith, asking with real intent and a sincere heart -truly looking for the
truth) you will know the truth of all things by the Holy Ghost. It was
really cool.
That book is one powerful book, and
I just learned so much about it this week again. I love my
mission. I love the people here. I love all the people I am meeting.
I am so thankful that I have this opportunity to become something more
than I was. I sure do love it here! Anway, I hope that you are
all having a great week, and I hope that you are enjoying the slushy snowy
stuff that I am also enjoying. You are the best!
Love you all,
