Hey guys!
So this week again, We have been working on talking to everyone. We just stop people and ask they if we can share a video with them and usually they say yes, if they don't we just give them a card, testify of Christ and ask if they would like to learn more. People around this time seem to open up pretty good for the most part when you put Jesus Christ in the sentence.
"Oh sure, yeah I'll take a card!"
We actually picked up a new investigator from Ukraine, he lives in Russia. I don't know how but he found me on Facebook back in April and I didn't notice until last week. He is really cool and so prepared by the Lord. We have been teaching him, and it's cool to see how much someone can see for themselves the correlation between the Bible and the Book of Mormon. When people actually know their stuff they can see more light, but also sometimes it causes more contention.
In 1 Nephi 13:39 it talks about how the Book of Mormon will come for for the convincing of the Gentiles that the Bible is the word of God. I thought that was so powerful. When you put two and two together you know that there is truth, evidence and light coming through the same source, who is God.
"And after it had come forth unto them I beheld other books, which came forth by the power of the Lamb, from the Gentiles unto them, unto the convincing of the Gentiles and the remnant of the seed of my brethren, and also the Jews who were scattered upon all the face of the earth, that the records of the prophets and of the twelve apostles of the Lamb are true."
We have been working with Jasmine... She is a recent convert. She is struggling hard. Satan is just yelling in her ears, and her strength isn't the best right now to fight it off. So Bishop is working with her, and we are getting her home teachers involved. They are so great, and so willing to help and so patient. It helps me feel comforted that the ward cares about her.
This time of the year is exciting for everyone. I love serving during Christmas, and lucky me I have two of them! I am thankful for the gift Christ gave me and his example of how to treat others. The atonement is real, and I am thankful for that knowledge.
It's Christmas time, live. It. Up!!!!!! cheers to everyone ;)
Love you all so much, have a really good week. And remember to serve someone.
Love, sister. Tincher
