Zone Conference

During Zone conference this week we were able to be taught and learn about things that I knew, but have neglected for a long time. The zone conference was how we can introduce The Book of Mormon in a better way to our investigators. They talked about introducing the Bible and how to overcome objections. I obviously know that the Bible and the Book of Mormon are the word of God, but I did not realize that I was totally missing something by passing the Bible when I would introduce the Book of Mormon. When I thought back on my meetings where I did that I realized that people were probably feeling like I was trying to replace their Bible instead of trying to give them more scripture. 

I have just realized this week how good it is to serve the Armenian people. I have not seen the fruits of my labors in the past few weeks, but we have been doing a lot of service and I just feel good when I am able to help someone in some way. As long as I am doing some good in the world everyday for someone that is good for me. That is what I have been trying to focus on. My goal ever day is to be doing some sort of good for someone that day. Try and help someone that is going through a hard time and just do something for them. You will not regret it and you will feel good that you did something for someone just to be nice. 

I know that what I am doing is the Lord's work and I could not do this without him. He controls everything and I just need to be the tool in his hand so that I can be ready to do the task he has for me. I love everything about a mission and I have grown so much. Keep trying everyday to do what you know is right. I know sometimes it can be hard, but these are the things that will protect us from Satan - Reading and praying and going to church. If we do these things we will have nothing to worry about.
