The Book of Mormon Lightens My World: Week 57
A few highlights from
this week.
*Tuesday: We had
exchanges. Sister Petty came here with me in Lake Nona and we had a fabulous
time. I truly loved being with her. We have so many random things in common and
so we geeked out the whole day.
Our day together just
felt so fulfilling of our purpose. We had so much love for the people we were
contacting and for each other.

*Wednesday: We went to
the Orlando South Zone training meeting together the next day and we were also able
to do service with everyone.
*Happy Thanksgiving
Thursday!
We made all these little
crafts and handed them out and we had one dinner with a member who invited a
bunch of non-members from different countries so we were able to share a lot of
our message. And our other dinner was with our recent convert/investigating
family! Lots and lots of food.

*Saturday I got to go on
exchanges with a Sister Robbins and it was her first time leading out an area
and she was amazing. I know it's a sin but I envied her. I wish I were back at
the beginning of my mission again. It's such an exciting time when everything
is new! But it does get better and better and you learn more and more.
That night the assistants
had a baptism that we attended and it was so beautiful! Also the Daytona
Elders came out because they knew the person getting baptized so I had a lot of
fun having them catch me up on my old area. It made me so so happy; it was just
a really happy day. Anytime I hear anything about Daytona my day is lifted. I
loved that place.
We also have had a lot of
fun sharing #LighttheWorld the past couple of days!
It's going to be really
good this year!
It's the best time of the
year! Enjoy the snow... Cause I'm not getting it.
ALSO.
I came to the conclusion
of the Book of Mormon this week.
You know that quote
"you don't have to eat a whole cake to know it's good?"
I believe that's very
true. Because every time I complete the Book of Mormon I guess by the
significance of endings I think that's the real time to ask and know if it's
true or not.
BUT the truth is as I
came to the last verses and knelt in prayer, my thoughts were turned to every
spiritual experience I've had while reading. And I realized that from page 1 to
the end, I've known it's true.
It's as true at the
beginning as it is at the end, and therefore you can always know.
The Book of Mormon fills
me with light. It lightens my world. That's always the first thing my testimony
affirms me of, it's light. I understand so much more, about myself, others
around me, and most importantly about my Savior and the relationship I can have
with him. The Book of Mormon helps me to feel understood. I swear there are
times I've come to certain chapters or verses and I've been moved to think that
it just HAD to be written just that way for me. Heavenly Father not only knew I
needed to hear that, but I needed to hear that in such a specific way.
The Book of Mormon brings
me to know that the church has been restored. That this is Christ's church, he
stands at the head.
The Book of Mormon has
helped me recognize my Savior and my Heavenly Father and how they communicate
not only with all children but also with me personally.
One thing I've been made
certain of is that you can never read it enough.
God reveals new truths to
me Every. Single. Time.
And I know the Book of
Mormon is true and I love it with all my heart.
