And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

– Mark 8:34.

Hello! So this week has been great! I beat my transfer record as of Sunday, 120 lessons taught, and I still have a week left :) It's been a week of miracles. One that we hit our goals for numbers of lessons, but also one of our investigators. She's always been "brava" (I'm sure you can figure out the meaning of that word, if not, googletranslate!), but yesterday I found out how. We sat down in a park with her and started talking. I asked her how her reading of the book of Mormon was going. She apologised and asked forgiveness because she only read it through one time. Curious, I asked what she'd read, the response really surprised me. She'd read the introduction to the Book of Mormon, and the first TWELVE CHAPTERS!!! She asked me if she'd done something wrong because both my companion and I were looking at her in shock. He fell off the park bench. Recovering I reassured her she was doing great, then she started talking about Baptism and when she wanted to be Baptised! That really showed me how much we should appreciate the word of the Lord, whether it be the scriptures, General Conference, or any other form, we should have this desire to soak in it, and recognise that "man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth from the mouth of the Lord doth man live". I know this week I'm going to work on developing my love of the Scriptures! I love you all! Anziano Nelson
