Week 42: 15 Minute Book of Mormon Challenge, Miracles Among The Less Active, The Power Of The Book of Mormon To Change Lives, Happy Mothers Day!

So this week we have seen some big miracles en cuanto al Libro de Mormón. So for starters the Area Presidency gave us as members a challenge to read the Book of Mormon 15 minutes every day as a family and 15 minutes of personal study for the rest of the year. And we gave that challenge to a few others: the less active that came to church last week (I´m not so sure of the timing of things anymore), and a family that we are teaching, a few others but I want to focus on them for right now. The less active, at first didn´t want anything to do with BOM at all, like at all. But little by little she started to warm up to the idea, and so we gave her the challenge and, now every time we pass by her little store that she has we find her reading the Book of Mormon, she is a lot more receptive and patient in receiving answers to her questions. She even told us that she received

an answer to one of her questions (she didn´t like the answer but that is another story). Second the family, this family was a mess when we first started teaching them, they didn´t get along with each other and they didn´t want to keep commitments, we were super close to dropping them when something snapped and they are now reading the Book of Mormon every day for 15 minutes as a family!!! And because of that we are seeing some great changes in them they are getting along better, they don´t yell as much, one of the sons, who is stuck in things he shouldn´t be, has been the first to remind his family to read. It is a great big Book of Mormon miracle!

In my studies this week I came a crossed a verse that reminded me of the BOM miracles that we are seeing. Alma 37: 9. Read it and you will see what I mean. I know that the Book of Mormon is truly inspired and that if we take the challenge that is in Moroni 10:4 (even if you have already done it). You will be able to feel the Spirit testify of its truth, and if you take the challenge of reading it every day you will be able to see things that you never thought possible become possible. 

Well I hope you all have a wonderful week and FELIZ DIA DE LA MADRE!!!!!!!!

Les amo mucho,
