Such a good week. We found 6 new investigators this week!
Most of them are new families, and we were able to set dates with a couple of
them. They look pretty good so far.
Here is something exciting that only Return Missionaries
will appreciate:
Elder Struve and I invented a 2 minute lesson plan about the
Book of Mormon (menant to be used in tracting) that is informative,
interesting, engaging, answers popular misconceptions d only takes 2 minutes!
It's worked wonders for us in our area.
If you have a blue Book of Mormon with you, this will make
more sense..
1. Offer to teach a 2 minute summary of the Book of Mormon
2. State the 8th Article of faith (We believe the Bible to
be the word of God, we also believe in the Book of Mormon.)
3. Read with them the (full) title of the Book of Mormon:
Another Testament of Jesus Christ. Ask "What does 'another testament of
Jesus Christ' mean?" (check for testimony)
4. Turn to first Picture of Jesus Christ. Testify that it
will help us follow Jesus Christ
5. Turn to Picture of Lehi/family. Explain that the Book of
Mormon is a record of Prophets in the American Continent in the same time
period as the Bible.
6. Turn to Picture of Joseph Smith. Explain that it was translated
to English by the Prophet Joseph Smith in the 1800s.
7. Turn to Christ in the Americas. Explain that the
resurrected Jesus Christ visited the American Continent to teach the Gospel.
8. Offer a Book of Mormon pass-along card. Set a return
appointment to explain in further detail the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Gold I tell ya.
Anyways, all is well in the hood. We just went shopping at
Costco with one of our members... So I can't complain. :)
This is Kind of a weird request, but I've been doing this
comprehensive study for the last few days about Satan in preparation for my
next temple trip in a couple of weeks. and it's been super interesting! If any
of you have any insights about Satan, let me know! haha
Fun Fact: Lucifer (satan's name before the rebellion) only
appears one time in the entire Bible. Lucifer was one of the spirits in
Authority in the Premortal realm. He didn't take on the role of the Devil until
he opposed God's plan. Up to that point, he was just Lucifer... Our spirit
Brother.
Deep Doctrine, but interesting huh? Let me know if you have
any cool facts about Satan!
Love you all!
