One reason is because Zone Conference was this week. It was my first time meeting everyone in my new zone! And what was cool was that the main theme was revelation. We talked about how repetition is a key way that we receive revelation, like with Joseph Smith. Moroni came and delivered the same message four times, but it was still different every time. So the next time you're about to zone out because the lesson at church is on faith, or reading the Book of Mormon, or something else you feel you've heard a thousand times, don't. There's always more to learn. And often it's not what is said.
Something cool that's happening right now actually is what's called the Book of Mormon Experiment. It's where we're out on the street and give people a clipboard with one page of the Book of Mormon and ask them to mark every place they see God or Jesus Christ. And lots of people are surprised that they've read from the Book of Mormon, at least those that have heard (bad things) about it.

We also had an amazing rdv! We finally met with this one lady we hadn't seen in forever, and she's super prepared now. We were talking with her and she was eating up everything we were teaching! She couldn't wait to learn more! So we set a date for her baptism and are planning to meet with her again this week to teach more. It's great to be a part of such a marvelous work.
Passez une bonne semaine!
