"Why the Chuch?"

Hi everyone, 

 

I hope you all are doing great. It's been another great week here. It was really busy week. On Wednesday we had a zone conference In Cherry Hill New, Jersey. It was my first zone conference and it was so amazing. Our mission president taught us a lot about gathering of Israel and the role of the Book of Mormon. He encouraged us to use the Book of Mormon in every single lesson. When it comes to conversion, the Book of Mormon should play a really big role. Every answer, to every questions that investigators have, can be found in the Book of Mormon. It is amazing how much impact the Book of Mormon has in conversion.

We got a new ward mission leader this past week. Our old ward mission leader was really busy guy. Because he is so busy that we weren't able work with him at all. Not being able to work with ward mission leader makes missionary work so much harder. Ward mission leader is like a bridge between the members and full time missionaries. It is hard to work with the members without the ward mission leader. I'm so excited to work with our new ward mission leader. He is really great guy. We already had coordination meeting with him and from now on we have weekly coordination meeting with him.

It was slow week with investigators, most of our lessons was with less active members. We are trying hard to get those less active members back to church but it's not really working so well. They do really feel the spirit when we go over and have a lesson with them but its just hard for them to show up to the church. Some of them work on Sundays and that even makes it harder. We were able to have another lesson with the Offei-ansha's family. It went really good but they had a lot of questions concerning baptism. They think that every church has authority to baptize.

General conference was great, I really enjoyed it. I really liked  D. Todd Christoferson's talk called "Why the Chuch?" There are a lots of people out here who are spiritual but don't feel like coming to church. Elder Christoferson really pointed out great things about the importance of coming to church. I am so grateful to have prophet and apostles here on earth today. I know that we can get close to Heavenly Father if we followed their teachings. 

Love you all and hope you will have an amazing week.
