ANYWHO. glad to hear about the crops growing in our fine little garden. thanks laurie for writing me :) so dad. merrell j bateman is just your kinda guy. i knew you liked him. and no he wasnt boring just cause you liked him. he just isnt my style. you know me. so yesterday we sang the motab version of lead kindly light. nailed it. as we always do. sprained my ankle again. as ususal. but all is well mother. i am fine. just know that my ankles have always been bad and always will. speaking of basketball, yesterday i swooshed a 3 point shot......(shocker i know).....but it was backwards!!!!!!!!!! i shot it backwards and swooshed it. the gym went crazy for yours truely. KPR. ya i am kinda a big deal here now. i am on a last name basis with all people now. hahaha jk. so 2 experiences this week. we will start with miguel. (hermano jarmins investigator) so both these stories we planned a totally different lesson than what we tought mind you. so we teach miguel how important it is to read the bom and find out if its true. he says he just doesnt want to. so we say the same stuff like three times. and he kicks us out. no joke. come to find out. he cant read. go figure. so we have basicly been telling him that he needs to read it in order to gain a testimony, be baptized and be with his family forever, but he cant cause he cant read. so he has hard feelings against the church.
2nd story. this one is sick.
so ramon. we go in planning to teach about baptism. he has questions about 2nd nephi 31. tounge of angels. we answer it. and i asked him if he believed this book is true. he said it was good. that nothing bad comes from it. so me and my companion bore testimony for like 10 minutes straight about how we know. how we came to know. and how he can know. we made hime read the last 2 paragraphs in the introduction about the book of mormon and how we need to ask god if it is true. he at this time with tears in his eyes. i bore testimony saying. "ramon, prometo Dios tiene una respuesta por usted,........PROMETO" (translation, ramon, i know god has an answer for you. i promise.) with tears still in his eyes we decided to pray. he prayed to ask if it was true. the prayer ended and as i looked at ramon with tears flowing down his face. my companion said "que sente ahora" (translation, what do you feel now) and ramon answered. I feel good. i know this book is true.
what a testimony my family of the truthfullness of the book of mormon. i do have a testimony that it is true. i have read it. i have asked god and i know for a fact it is true. i commend dad and mom for reading it faithfully with our family. the book is true. so is this chuch.
we get new roomates today. they go to california. hope they are cool. love ya family. miss ya. think about ya everyday!!!
