Alma 7

Jun 8 at 12:18 PM

Well, it feels like I just emailed you guys because it was only Wednesday since the last time we did! So I guess there's not too much that has happened since then. But it's still been really great! 

Good news and bad news about Dharma. Good news is is that she's now living permanently in College Place! The bad news is is that it's out of our area... Pretty big bummer. But it's all good! Because she's in 2nd Ward and our roommates cover that ward and they're great missionaries. They've already taught her twice since we've passed her over.  

Steve is great! He's off on his trip to Seattle right now for his crazy eye surgery. We had another amazing lesson with him this last Saturday though. And we gave him the Book of Mormon on CD for his trip. He's super excited to be able to listen to them, especially since his wife will be driving and she'll be forced to listen to them! Steve has been nagging at his wife this entire that he has been taught to have her involved too. We're praying that her listening to the Book of Mormon will help soften her heart. He told us something really cool the other day too when he was telling us about his reading in the Book of Mormon. He said how is now in Alma and when he read Chapter 7, he had to read it three more times! And each time had broughten him to tears. He told us that he feels so wearied down by his trials sometimes--especially with his physical ones. But to know that Jesus Christ has suffered those things and much, much more brought peace to his soul. He's still very excited for his baptism--and so are we!   

We were asked by our mission president to bear our testimonies during fast and testimony meeting of the four essential truths, which are: Jesus Christ is our Savior, the first vision happened, the Priesthood has been restored, and the Book of Mormon is the word of God. It was a great experience. I shared an experience that I had during our Zone Meeting this last week. At the beginning of the meeting we all read in unison "The Living Christ". It was such special experience for me. I could barely make it through reading it because the Spirit was so strong. I have a testimony that Jesus is the Christ and he is the Savior and Redeemer of the world. 

And I am especially so grateful to be one of His representatives. To serve God's children and help them closer to Christ is an opportunity that I am so grateful for.

Thank you all for your love, prayers and support!
