6 Months!

Wow, this week marks 6 months in the mission, I can't believe it! Time has been flying by, and I know it's because I've been working hard. My companions have told me that the time goes by fast when you give it your all everyday, and they were right. I've had a pretty busy week! It was full of teaching, finding more people to share with, and meeting with lots of the less active members. We had a conference with Elder Alonso of the Seventy, and he talked a lot about the power of the Spirit and the Book of Mormon in our teaching. I can testify that that book has so much power, I haven't shared many scriptures in these emails, but that's because I find so many amazing scriptures every week, and can never decide what to share. However, I suggest that you guys study the Testimony of Joseph Smith in the Book of Mormon again. That testimony has so much power, I testify that the Spirit will be so strong when you read it. I read it with some investigators this week, and the Spirit was so strong, and I could see them receiving confirmations of the truth. There are so many great scriptures to find, if we just take the time to study. One that I really liked from my personal study was Romans 6:4, which talks about the symbolism of our baptism, and how we're connected to Christ through it. It's very powerful. I have seen so many people being prepared for the Gospel in this area. People everywhere are waiting to receive the glorious message of the Restoration, if you take a minute and look around, you can always find missionary opportunities. I know this Church is true, and that our Savior lives, everyone deserves to have that knowledge, so I challenge you all this week to find someone to share your testimony with. I know the Lord will help you. I hope you all have a great week in all that you do!

Love,

Elder May
