My week has been really good. Training a new missionary is a lot easier than I thought it would be. I guess it depends on the trainee. I really lucked out with Elder Skinner. We've been helping out a lot of people. We have been doing a good amount of service for everyone, as well as teaching of course. We helped chop away at some roots of a Russian olive tree, helped paint a house, and helped uproot a couple rose bushes. I'm loving it.
We also had a good amount of lessons taught. We have been teaching on the streets and in any situation. You really can compare almost everything to the restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Teaching is fun. We actually haven't run into too many mean people this week, just the normal couple of people that don't want to talk to us.
We have also been trying to share scriptures in the Book of Mormon to everyone that we talk to. It's been really fun to test my knowledge of the Book or Mormon and sharing scriptures that pertain to a specific situation. It is a bit easier than expected, but I am sure the Holy Ghost has been helping these things come to my remembrance.
How is everyone doing with President Nelson’s challenge to read the Book of Mormon before the end of the year? I've been trying my hardest. I was in Helaman when the challenge was given to us. I finished the book and have started over. I'm only in 1st Nephi 12 still, but I'll get there I swear!
Thank you for the prayers and support. The Gospel is true.
