2 Nephi 33:10

(Aldste Cummings)

Hej hej!

Another exciting week in Skövde! We were incredibly busy this week. We had a couple of English and religion classes that we taught at a local gymnasium (basically high school) and it was super fun but it also took a good bit out of our schedule and we had to work things in an around the classes. There was one day where we left the apartment in the morning and didn't come back for over 12 hours! Very tiring, but totally worth it.

On Friday, we had a dinner appointment with a member who lives about half an hour away. Because we don't have a car, we have to rely on the bus system to get there and back. The appointment went a little longer than expected and we missed our bus back but we just assumed a bus was going to come an hour later around 8 and we could just knock some doors until then. WRONG. Turns out the bus didn't come until 9:30 and we aren't allowed to knock on people's doors after 8 so we had to spend an hour and a half walking around Timmersdala in the dead of night while our phone was about to die waiting for the bus. We didn't get home until 10:25. That was crazy. Gotta be careful with those buses.

I thought of this scripture this week when we were meeting with a new investigator, Camilla, and we were talking about the Book of Mormon. She had been reading a little bit in it and expressed the sentiment that she knows its true and good because the doctrines it teaches are very clearly the doctrines of Christ and not of man. She said that she felt the same way reading it as she does reading the Bible. Just as Nephi teaches in 2 Nephi 33:10, a true believer and disciple of Christ will know specifically that the Book of Mormon is true because they will recognize that it is the word of Christ. They will recognize the doctrine as the pure gospel of Jesus Christ.

I know the Book of Mormon is true and I know that by studying it, we can come closer to God and strengthen our relationship with our Savior.

Love,

On one of our busier days, we just drank chocolate milk for dinner. Kinda bummy, but it tasted good.
