Hey everyone! I am doing great and am still loving Portland! This week was pretty good! We had lots of lessons and visited a lot of less actives.
On Tuesday we found out that one of our investigators Gill is struggling with Joseph Smith and how he translated the Book of Mormon. So we are going to talk about that tonight in our lesson with him. He came to church yesterday and really liked it. He also brought his mom to church and so we are going to start teaching her too! :)
On Wednesday we met with Kevin and Linda and promised them lots of blessings so hopefully they will continue to read the Book of Mormon and come to church.
On Thursday we had a lesson with Patty one of our investigators. And it was probably one of the saddest lessons I have ever been in! She had a friend from Colorado there with her. And her friend anti-ed us contentiously. She kept trying to stump us and catch us in what we were saying. Patty was so confused. We had planned to do the Restoration with her again anyway, and she loves music so we decided to sing to her Joseph Smith's First Vision. We did so. The Spirit was so strong, it took her friend a whole 30 seconds to say something. But that didn't keep Patty from dropping us. We were both so sad afterwords!

I am so grateful for the gospel! I know that it is true with all my heart! I know that Joseph Smith was a prophet called of God! And I know that because of him we have the truth again on the earth today. I am so grateful for the Book of Mormon and the power it brings into my life daily. I am so grateful to have a prophet on the earth today. And for the council he gives us. I know that as we listen to his words and then act on them we will be blessed!
