Week #48 - Mitchell Branch South Dakota

Well, this week was really awesome! Unfortunately, we were not able to email on monday because the library was closed or on tuesday because of interviews, but our president told us we could email today. We had a bunch happen this past week! Our mission has been reading the Book of Mormon together and we set a goal to finish it in 3 months. Our deadline was July 4th and I finished it right as I concluded my fast and prayed about it to know if it was true! These past three months of reading the Book of Mormon have caused my testimony to grow immensely and have given me answers to questions I didn't even know that I had! If you haven't read the Book of Mormon yet this year, I would like to challenge you to set a goal to read 5 pages each day and I promise you that your testimony of Jesus Christ and his gospel will grow!

We also had Zone Training and Interviews with the mission president this week! They asked me to sing a song for zone training a few days before and I said yes! That was crazy! I was a little nervous because of how little time they gave me to prepare, but I decided to sing "I Know That My Redeemer Lives," practiced a couple times in the shower and sang it just fine! Interviews with our Mission President went pretty awesome! He had us fill out a questionnaire and list how consistently we were keeping each of the mission rules! We talked about my strengths and my weaknesses and he gave me a lot of really good advice to improve my missionary service!

In the zone training we discussed a talk called "the 4th missionary" and talked about giving all of our heart and mind as well as our might and strength in serving for two years as a missionary! It really helped me to understand that there is no limit to how much I can do if I give my whole self to the Lord!

I hope everyone is doing well back home!
