It's been another great week out here in Jacksonville North Carolina! We had a great week.
We found 4 new people this week and 2 of them, Henry and Heaven, basically already know the Book of Mormon is true and they want to be baptized. We met them over facebook and went over and taught them. They live right outside our area though so we are going to give them to the other Elders today.
We also found a lady named Laura. Her husband Nick is a less active member, who fell away and he basically thinks he's going to hell. He knows the Book of Mormon is true though and we had a great lesson about the atonement. I think it filled him with a lot of hope. They are awesome.
We also are getting Johnny all set up for his baptism this Saturday, we have his interview tonight. When he found out I'm leaving he flipped out.
President Holland called last night and asked me to be a Zone leader in Raleigh. Wasn't expecting that one but I'm glad to have the opportunity.
I was reading in 1st Nephi this week and in chapter 13 it says....
40 And the angel spake unto me, saying: These last records, which thou hast seen among the Gentiles, shall establish the truth of the first, which are of the twelve apostles of the Lamb, and shall make known the plain and precious things which have been taken away from them; and shall make known to all kindreds, tongues, and people, that the Lamb of God is the Son of the Eternal Father, and the Savior of the world; and that all men must come unto him, or they cannot be saved
This verse sums up the whole purpose for the Book of Mormon. It was brought forth to restore the truths of Jesus Christ Gospel that were lost and changed during the apostasy. It contains the fulness of his Gospel. Every page testifies of the Savior and points us to him. I am grateful for the Book of Mormon and the truths contained within it.
I invite everyone to read from the Book of Mormon each day. I know that by reading from the Book of Mormon each day I have strengthened my relationship with Jesus Christ and it has blessed my life so much. And what better time to start than the new year, when the church will be studying the Book of Mormon for Come follow me.
I love yall
Elder Forrest
