Blessings in a Book

We just got out of a lesson with Ryan and Cameron and (as usual) it didn't go the way we had planned. Instead of teaching the Plan of Salvation, we read the introduction to the Book of Mormon. With Ryan and Cameron being as inquisitive as they are, it took a little bit to read through and discuss. 

We also taught the Young Women yesterday about how we got the Book of Mormon and how they can share that with their friends. We had them write their testimonies in copies of the Book of Mormon. 

It's really just had me thinking about the testimony I have gained of that sweet book. I know it is true. The more I learn about it, and the more I read it, the more I know that it just has to be true. It only makes sense. 

As I've been getting closer and closer to the close of my time here in Mississippi, I think I've started to gain a new perspective on how this one book, and this one simple testimony I have, is going to change my life. And not just my life here. 

How lucky we are to have access to something so divine. 

And how much luckier we are to have the chance to share it. 

It is a blessing to be a missionary.

Exchanges with the Laurel Sisters

Sister Goold and I (mostly me) ate a lot of cookies this weekend...and our new favorite pastime is swiveling across our home on our chairs.

I casually showed Sister Goold how to play the whipped cream game.
