To start off... WE NEED YOUR HELP!!!!!
Our mission has decided to take a huge step towards taking
the gospel to every corner of the world! What better way to get the
gospel into countries missionaries cannot enter than by using
technology? We even have prophets teach that technology came about
solely for the purpose of spreading the gospel. Here's the game plan:
On June 10th an event on Facebook called Discover the Book
will start at 11:00am MST. If you have not been invited you can find the
group here: https://www.facebook.com/events/1424327067842153/?ref=br_tf
Here's what we need you to do
1. Find the event Discover the Book and join if
you have not already done so
2. Invite your family, friends, ward...
EVERYONE to join
3. On Tuesday the 10th (preferably at 11:00am
MTS)
-change your profile picture to one of you reading the Book of Mormon just like the ones at the top
-change your profile picture to one of you reading the Book of Mormon just like the ones at the top
of the event page.
-Share how you discovered the Book of Mormon, how it has touched your life, etc.
-Share how you discovered the Book of Mormon, how it has touched your life, etc.
-Add the hash tag #discoverthebook and #thebookofmormon so all of our pictures
will be
connected
4. Keep your eye on the event page--this
will be a four week event with more opportunities to share the gospel coming
up! There will be instructions from Sister Ashcraft and Sister Hutchins
coming up soon! They are the Sister Training Coordinators and are running
the event!
This is going to be HUGE! Five different Facebook missions
are involved and several famous Mormons are joining. We already have
Gladys Knight, Donny and Marie Osmond, Mormon.org, Lds.org, Brandon Flowers,
Mitt Romney, LDS Toons...
This is going to be AMAZING!!!! I cannot wait to flood
the world with the Book of Mormon! It's changed my life, I am seeing it
change the lives of those I am teaching, and it is going to continue to change
lives, but we have to get it to the world first!
ALSO!!!! Check out and join the group Called to Share!
You will get more information on there! (and the two Elders in the video
our my Zone Leaders!)
This week we had a super powerful Zone Meeting. We set
a goal for 26 baptisms this month!!! Last week each ward of missionaries
had an assigned day to fast and the rest of the zone prayed specifically for
them by name and for their area. This week each day we have a specific
item to fast from. Today we are fasting from silent prayers (all will be
said aloud), later days we will fast from things like music, junk food, extra
down time, iPads, and one day will be left up to decide as a
companionship. Sacrifice brings forth the blessings of heaven!
We had President interviews this week. It is always great
to have some time to sit down and talk to President Craig and then more time to
sit and talk with Sister Craig! I LOVE those two so much!
On Saturday our recent convert Pete Weber married Amy
Ramirez! They were living together when we first met them and Pete made
the choice to move out so he could be baptized. Amy was a member but
hadn't been to church for several years. It was AMAZING to see them
together! I played Cannon in D on the piano during the ceremony. It
was a miracle it came together with minimal practice even though it was an easy
version.
Aileen went to the home ward with Chirag on Sunday AND the
YSA Branch in the afternoon. She is hungry for truth and is making huge
changes! She had $200 worth of weed and after our lesson on the Word of
Wisdom she got rid of it. Haha, she had actually quit smoking before we
even had the lesson since she knew we would be talking about it.
She is ELECT! She has a baptismal date for June 22nd. Keep
her in your prayers!
I love all ya'll!!! Have a blessed week!
