Hello everyone!
Another great week here in College Station! Charles is doing so well. He said that he feels peace as he reads the Book of Mormon. He has invited his friend to learn more as well and she agreed to do so when she gets back from New York in August. Charles is seriously the best. He came to the temple tour last night as well. His baptism is scheduled for Aug 1.
We set a goal to have 22 member presents this past week. By Saturday we only had 18 but because we had planned and did our part, we were able to get 6 yesterday. Definitely a miracle! So we’ve started meeting with several new people. One is a roommate of a recent convert and she is awesome. We are planning on extending a baptismal date with her this week.
Things are going so well. I wish I could give a more detailed report but there’s just so much that’s happening. I’m so grateful to be a missionary. Lately i’ve been learning so much more about the Book of Mormon. We’ve decided as a companionship to read from it together every day. Too often we as members take the Book of Mormon too lightly. We see it just as a way to know that the Restoration happened. If that’s all we view it as, when we come to know that its true then we won’t have much more motivation to continue to read it. But it’s so much more than that. It’s written specifically for our day. It helps us know how to withstand the evils of our day. It truly is the tool God has prepared to gather Israel in the last days. I know that God lives and that He always provides safety for His children. He has done that in our day with The Book of Mormon. I love you all! Have a great week :)
Love, Elder Steed
