I made a goal when I got into the field to read the Book of Mormon within the first three months (My training period), I just finished reading the part in 3rd Nephi when Christ comes and visits the people and it really touched me that after he prayed for the people and after he blessed the children he wept. When I thought about it I realized that Christ knew exactly what would happen to the people in the Americas. It must have been so hard for him to have seen the people having such great faith and knowing is would all be gone in a few short generations. It made me really sad for him. I'm not sure I could have handled that. It's truly amazing that he made the sacrifices he did for someone like me who has so little faith. It's incredible!
We also got a new investigator this week! His name is Fabiano and he's from Brazil, he's very cool. we got in contact with him through a member and y'all might not realize it but as members, you can be much more powerful missionaries than us full-timers. If you don't believe me read about Amulek in the book of Alma. it was his testimony that brought the people to repentance, and he was a less-active member at the time.
Also today on p day we couldn't drive until the plows caught up so we Built an Igloo that Sister Burton, Sister Boyce, Elder Jensen and I all fit into! it was awesome!
