Wait, you already have a testimony of the Book of Mormon?


Spiritual: This week I got to go to Searcy for a day for exchanges. While we were there we met a man named Sammy who was formerly a member of the reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (otherwise known as the Community of Christ). The crazy part of that experience was that Sister Taylor and I had been discussing break-off groups of the church just the day before and I had even brought up on the car ride to Searcy that I had wondered what differences there were between our church and the reorganized church. The Church History Topics on Gospel Library gives you just enough details to get you curious, but it really mostly focuses on our church. Anyway, Sammy is actually super cool and already has a testimony of the Book of Mormon and the Doctrine and Covenants and feels like his church is veering away from true doctrine. So we of course, invited him to attend church and to meet with missionaries, which he readily agreed to!

Funny: We went to the Greene County Family History Center to do service and while we were there, we met a guy named John T. Wayne, who is John Wayne's grandson and an author of Civil War novels. It was just like rubbing shoulders with royalty :) Maybe we'll ask him if we can get a picture with him next time we see him. 

Where I'm at: Sister Taylor and I are having an excess of people to teach and it's really busy! But mostly when we get to spend the one day in the really far away part of our area! This is the time when we could just apparate or something, that would be so handy! We love the people here and are excited for the next few weeks!
