Hey Everyone,
I like Alma chapter 5 verse 45 and 46 which talks about how Alma knows the church is true because he has fasted and prayed. I thought that was interesting because Alma could have said he knew the church was true because he saw an angel from God but he acted himself to find out if it was true by praying and fasting not just relying on the vision he had. I love the gospel and love to see it make the people I get to teach happy as they come to understand the truths taught.
This was a good week. It hasn't been super hot - it has been mid 90's which feels nicer than the 100's. It has been pretty smokey because there is a fire somewhere close to us. We have still been teaching good people. Every Monday night this Spanish family feeds me and my companion and another companionship. They are a super nice family!
On Thursday as a zone we met with President Wells and his wife. President Wells is a super nice guy! We are going to have zone conference next Monday so I won't be able to email until Tuesday next week. We still have been meeting with James and also Veronica and her kids and Mike and his family. We have been really busy with contacting people and teaching the people we are working with. On Sunday we went out knocking on doors of people we are teaching to come to church and some people weren't so happy but we got James and Veronica and her kids to church which is awesome. Veronica and her kids haven't been coming often so I was glad to see them there - they enjoyed it. This week we were able to find some good investigators by street contacting.
Today we went up to Crystal Lake to fish but there wasn't much water there so we found a lake somewhere else. It was fun being in the mountains because it was nice and a cooler temperature. When we were headed back today down the canyon this car was in the road, stopped with its flashers on. It turns out this older guy went off the road and hit the side of a mountain which smashed the front of his car and pushed it into the road. We stopped and asked if he was okay and gave him some water and there was someone else who called for help. He was okay, just a little in shock at what happened.
I like Alma chapter 5 verse 45 and 46 which talks about how Alma knows the church is true because he has fasted and prayed. I thought that was interesting because Alma could have said he knew the church was true because he saw an angel from God but he acted himself to find out if it was true by praying and fasting not just relying on the vision he had.

Have a great day everyone!
Love,
