First off, I want to say congrats to my brother and his new fiance, Savannah. It's so good to hear about the blessings that are happening in my family. I know that the Lord watches over the families of missionaries.
This past week was pretty good. I mean the first three days we couldn't leave out apartment. I didn't really understand that because there was absolutely nobody by our house, but we were obedient and enjoyed the time that we had.
I wanted to share a little bit about "the best missionary"
Others might know it as "The Book of Mormon"
My Mission President said to us in a previous conference, "The Book of Mormon is the word of God that has the power to change lives." He said, "If you have an investigator that doesn't have a testimony of the Book of Mormon, perhaps they still get baptized, but they won't be converted." I began to think back to all the years I was growing up that I didn't have a testimony of this book. I wasn't converted to the church of Jesus Christ yet. Now that I have read it, pondered it, prayed about it, applied it, and taught about it, I have a testimony of the book. It really has the power to change lives. Not only with investigators, but with ourselves as well.
I'm sorry that this letter isn't too long today, but I want to end with one thing from the introduction of the Book of Mormon.
Concerning this record the Prophet Joseph Smith said: “I told the brethren that the Book of Mormon was the most correct of any book on earth, and the keystone of our religion, and a man would get nearer to God by abiding by its precepts, than by any other book.”
