Read it!

Hello Everyone!

This week we were challenged to focus on teaching everyone from the Book of Mormon. It was amazing to see all different people learn and be blessed from that book. 

We were on an exchange when we knocked on one man's door- he opened for just a second and said "I'm atheist" and started to close the door. I wasn't sure what he said, so I asked for him to repeat himself. He did. We asked if he had ever considered the concept of God, which led to an awesome conversation. We testified of the Book of Mormon and the power it has to help people know for themselves if God is there. We promised that if he would read it and ask God if He is there and if the Book of Mormon is true, he would learn for himself. He accepted and said he would read it by December. 

We had several experiences where we were able to help members who have not attended in a long time feel the Spirit through Book of Mormon verses we shared. 

One sister we are teaching has really dived into the Book of Mormon. She is learning and coming closer to God every day. We asked how her reading has been going and she told us that she reads all day- she can't put it down! That morning, we mentioned something about inviting her to be baptized on 11/12 (half seriously), but it felt right. We prayed about it right then, and we both felt so much peace and power, and knew that it was what our Heavenly Father wanted. She prayed about it at the end of our meeting with her, and she gained that confirmation as well. 

The Book of Mormon is true. I have seen it change so many lives and soften so many hearts. It helps us to know Jesus Christ. If you haven't read from it lately, or if you've never read from it at all, I encourage you to pick it up today. They're free on mormon.org. I promise God will help you to know if it can bless your life as well. (And then tell me what your experience was- I'd love to hear it!) 

Thank you all for your prayers, support, and encouragement!

Love, 

Sister Brittany Hunt
