HOLA Y'ALL.
First off HAPPY VALENTINES DAY. Hope y'all enjoy it. This week was pretty awesome, and I definitely think I grew a ton this week. To start off the week we had exchanges with the sister training leaders on tuesday and Wednesday. So they came down to the hood of Brownfield and hung out with us for a bit. (As in worked us hard for 24 hours lol) But I was with Sister Hatch and she is amazing! She really helped me with finding and door aproaches, since i'm so awkward. LOL. but yea the whole exchange went GREAT.
Then on thursday, some members from Lubbock came down (since our ward is in Lubbock) and had a Family Home Evening for all the people in Brownfield! So we had a ton of soups and we had around 10 people come! So it was a pretty good turnout. But half way through when we were all just chatting this family from ALPINE, UTAH walks in and I about died. Like what are the odds?! haha so we chatted for a little, and then they were on their way, but I could not stop laughing cause that's just so random.
So remember my last mass email about our bible friend Mark? Well we saw him on Saturday and we pulled over and started talking to him, and of course, he just went OFF again on us. Asking a million questions and all these things that are WAY deep into doctrine, and so I stopped him and said "Mark, I want you to find me one scripture in the Bible where it says 'The Bible is the ONLY word of God' and if you do, I'll leave my mission". After I said that he like stopped talking and kind of just stared at me. And he was like "Ok I can do that!" so then he came to us a couple hours later and said "There is no scripture that says that". and so we explained to him that it can't be cause the Book of Mormon is here! Ah. I honestly study the bible for like an HOUR everyday now because we get bible bashed everyday. So I'm basically a bible wizard now.
The Book of Mormon is the WORD of GOD. It's not replacing the bible or adding to it, it's literally ANOTHER testament of Jesus Christ. I sometimes wish people would just get that haha But it's helped me grow my testimony by studying more from the Bible and The Book of Mormon for sure. So bible bashers will come and go, but no unhallowed hand can stop the work from progressing. I love this gospel and Jesus christ too much to not be out here. Love y'all so much :)))
con mucho amor,
hermana Neilson
