大家好！！
Highlights:
-Went to a 請客 (Member Meal) at Presidents house??? He is in my ward
-Went to visit Gretchen (our new member) and she 請客ed (fed) us!
-Went to Peggys house! (Also a new member)
-Talked to some Filipinos in a park and one of them can't read super well since her eyes are bad, but she was able to read the Book of Mormon! 瞎子能看得見！(The blind could see)
-Learned a lot about Muslim beliefs!
-Had interviews
-Accidentally found at an cosplay convention
-Read the scriptures with a man from Egypt in Arabic on the street
READ THIS PARTI've been reading this book that explains what the Book of Mormon tells us that the Bible does not and its so interesting!!!
Here are some things that the Book of Mormon clarifies:
-we must be baptized by immersion
-children do not need baptism
-Jesus literally bled from every pore(not metaphorically)
-Sacrament is symbolic not literal
-The sacrament prayers
-Satan is not a figurative being
-The plan of salvation (the word plan in reference to the plan of salvation doesn't appear once in the Bible) (thats insane)
-2 Nephi 2 + clarity about the Fall
-The name of the church
-What faith actually means (Alma 32)
-A sequenced order of the doctrine of Christ
-The meaning of spiritual death and clarity about the word 'hell'
-What the tree of life actually means/represents
-The Allegory of the Olive trees referenced in Romans 11
And many more I haven't finished the book yet :)
The one I liked the most was that the Book of Mormon talks about the nature of Satan the most out of any book of scripture. It gives us very clear instructions about how we will be tempted and how we can avoid it!
No wonder prophets have admonished us to read the Book of Mormon every day!
This is the spiritual power that we actually need in our day to day lives. We will be tempted daily and therefore need admonishment and instruction daily!
2 Nephi 28:
21 And others will he pacify, and lull them away into carnal security, that they will say: All is well in Zion; yea, Zion prospereth, all is well—and thus the devil cheateth their souls, and leadeth them away carefully down to hell.
The Book of Mormon is like the Screwtape letters by C.S Lewis but actually from the mouth of God. It doesn't get better than this.
We have started to make plans with our friends against Satan to help them get to church, and it works! Once people know what source their thoughts are coming from, it makes it way easier for them to resist the bad thoughts and make choices that will actually bless them.
The Book of Mormon can help us do this everyday! So read it! Every day!
再見!
