Sister O and I had a great week!! We spent the day In Bartlesville for an all day P-day! I found out I stink at Golf (I can't even hit the ball with the stick thing
), and "The Best 2 years" is now my favorite movie haha. And guys he's from Oklahoma!!
We had an interesting experience with someone we were teaching the other day.
This man said he made a decision about our church, but when we said we got a lot out of his church service he really wanted to know what we got out of it. We said that the scriptures the pastor brought up about false prophets were what we needed to help Marilyn. Then we got into a very intense discussion about the Book of Mormon, and how there are prophets on the Earth today. Sister O and I studied, but we studied with the wrong attitude.

Every scripture we came to him states that Prophets and Apostles will guide and direct Christ's church. In a way, he "proved" us wrong and shut us down several times. He at one point called us deceitful prophets, coming in the name of Christ. We did our best to defend ourselves, and the name we represent, but he just continued to argue. He had to get up for a second and finish something. Sister O looked at me, and said "We need to just testify of what we know to be true." Man, she was right. We put away our scriptures and boldly told him that this was true, and if he really wanted to know for himself, he would not only pray, but actually read the words in the Book of Mormon we had for him. We told him that he would not find an answer if he already had one in his head. That is when the Spirit was the strongest during the lesson, and we realized the power of a bold and simple testimony. He became very very quiet and then he said he would read it and pray. He is definitely one of those guys that will take the challenge. Now we only hope he will do it sincerely. I learned a lot from this.
- Never just go into a lesson to prove something (wrong attitude)
- The spirit will only be there when you are in tune and will testify

- Your testimony of the words in the Book of Mormon add even more power to the great testimonies in the Book of Mormon.
I know that this Book is true, and It testifies of our Savior, Jesus Christ on every page. It has brought me more comfort than ever before in my life. This experience strengthened me and my testimony of the Book of Mormon. I also know that President Nelson is a Prophet called of God to lead an guide this church in these latter days. Your challenge this week echos the challenge we got in Relief Society the other week, to study the prophets life. Through his talks and his Biography. I will be doing the same this week:)
I love you all so much, and hope you have an amazing and miracle filled week!!
