The Book of Mormon is TRUE💙

Hello everyone!!

I'm just soaking up every moment I have left in Virginia!! Can't believe how fast the time is going! This week has been full of miracles!!

DIEDDERA

We are teaching a lady named Dieddera and wow she is amazing! She has already gained such a strong testimony of the Book of Mormon and has a very strong desire to come closer to God. This week we had a lesson with her and we were teaching her about the gospel of Jesus Christ (Faith, repentance, baptism, receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost, and enduring to the end). When we started talking about baptims she asked us if she could get baptized!! What?!? SHE ASKED US!! She is so prepared for the gospel!! So she is on date to be baptized on February 22nd!! Ahhhh so exciting!!

JESSICA

I also got some exciting news this week that my cute friend Jessica from the Tidewater YSA branch has received an answer to her prayer and she has also made the decision to be baptized!! She has put in so much work to know that the church is true! After lots of reading and praying she finally got her answer and she will be getting baptized on March 7th!! I'm Grateful for the miracles I've seen in Jessica's life!

EXCHANGES

We had exchanges this week with the Henrico Hermanas, Hermana Burgess and Hermana Cook. They are so amazing! I was with Hermana Burgess for the day and we saw so many miracles together! She is such an amazing missionary and is VERY in tune with the Spirit! One cool little miracle was we were walking back to our car and I felt like we needed to knock at the house at the end of the street. So we went over and knocked on it and met an amazing family! They let us in and we shared a message about Jesus Christ and the Book of Mormon! They were so kind and welcoming! I know we definitely needed to meet them! It was a cool little miracle!

SPIRITUAL THOUGHT

This week I finished reading the Book of Mormon again!! Every time I read it my testimony of the Savior grows so much!! I KNOW IT'S TRUE! And I know as we read it everyday that we will feel the Lords help and strength in our lives!

"The greatest power of the Book of Mormon is its impact in bringing us closer to Jesus Christ. It is a strong witness of Him and His redeeming mission. Through it we come to understand the majesty and power of His Atonement. It teaches His doctrine clearly. And because of the magnificent chapters describing the visit of the risen Christ to the Nephites, we see and experience Him LOVING, BLESSING, and TEACHING those people and come to understand that He will do the same for us if we come to Him by living His gospel." -Elder LeGrand R. Curtis Jr

Throughout my mission I have seen the power that the Book of Mormon has in our lives!! I promise if you take time everyday to read it then you will see the MIRACLES that follow!!

I hope y'all have a wonderful week!! I love each of you so much and I'm so grateful for all the love and support I feel!!💕
