Reading the Book of Mormon in 6 weeks!!

Elder Miranda and our matching ties...I love the sunsets here!
Hey family how are things going? Well this week has been a better week for me. I am enjoying the nice warm weather that is now arriving. This past week we found a couple of new people to teach. One is named Silvia. She is around 60 years old and is really cool. She really enjoys us coming over and teaching her. We also were doing contacts one day, Thursday, and knocked this one house at the very end of our sector. This guy came out and we started talking. His name is Luis. He told us that he had read the Book of Mormon and that he still thinks about the words in his head but is now Evangelical. We started talking about the promise in the Book of Mormon about reading, pondering, and praying. I asked if we could come in and share a little more about it. He said yeah. We taught him the Restoration. It was a really good lesson. He went to the United States for a few days for business but will be back later this week.
On Friday we had a mission conference in Viña. We are really focusing on the importance of the Book of Mormon as the companion of the Holy Ghost in the conversion process. We were all given a special task to complete in the next 6 weeks. We need to read the Book of Mormon in our native language and mark every name or reference to Jesus Christ as well as marking all of his words that he says or that his prophets say quoting him. It is a really neat way of reading the Book of Mormon.
hey well i gotta get going. love you tons and talk to you next week :) take care and say hi to everyone for me. thanks for the great chat.
