hey everyone!!!

this week was good!!! we taught a family and we did it right!!! it was just like that feeling you get when you doing something exacly right!!! i just wanted to jump up and down!!! this family is soo awesome!!! i love them!!! they ask ssooo many questions!! the spirit was soo stong and i could tell that they felt it!!! we helped them understand the importance of prophets and the book of mormon! i had the best examples come!!! i asked them what the bible was.. they said it was the word of god... i said yeah but what is it... they gave another answer... again i said yeah but what is it... they were stumped... i said.. isnt the bible just a journal the prophets kept about the teachings and signs and stuff? they said yeah!! soo i asked... so if your spouse is keeping a journal of the events of your life, does that mean that you cant keep a journal too? is that wrong or bad? they said no? i asked why? they explained. i said ok soo the bible is a journal or history of the people around jeruselem, the book of mormon is a journal kept by the prophets here on this continent about the same thing... jesus... soo why cant two different peoples keep record of the same thing, like you and your spouse recording the events of your life? they totally understood!!! they spirit tooottally gave me that one!!! i have never heard that before in my life!!! he committed to start reading it.
