Elder Jaren Brown: I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that the Book of Mormon is true!

Hi Everyone!
This week was pretty good. It's amazing how important having good studies is to enjoying the work! I definitely saw a big difference between last week (when my studies had gotten a bit lax) and this week. I had the spirit with me so much more this week, and it made all the difference!

We had a lot of success this week with finding! The zone leaders blitzed our area on Tuesday, which helped a lot. We have been working with a less active member who has been trying to return to full activity, and we have started to teach his 9 year old son, who wants to be baptized. He is on date for November 25, And he couldn't be more excited! He would get baptized sooner, but there are a few factors that pushed it back. I can't go into much detail about it, but nevertheless, we are so excited! We might start teaching his wife too. She is Hispanic, and doesn't express too much interest, but she has been reading the book of Mormon and has been watching some videos from lds.org. We will be skyping in the Spanish missionaries to teach her while we teach her son. Technology is such an amazing tool.

We also found a few other people who expressed some interest, and we will visit them again this week. We also met another less active member and her husband (who is not a member). They are really nice and invited us back to teach them Sunday evenings! Unfortunately they were not there yesterday, though. But I have faith they will progress! We also did some service this week, and chopped a ton of wood! We felled a giant tree, and have been chopping that up for firewood for people. Unfortunately, I don't have a picture of it, but it was pretty epic.

Finally, we had General Conference this weekend, and it was SOOOOOO GOOD!!!! I learned a lot from it, and I hope all of you did too! I know that these men truly are called of God and that the messages they presented were inspired by God. I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that the Book of Mormon is true. I have felt an undeniable witness of it from God through careful study and earnest prayer. I know that this is the same church that Jesus Christ organized while he was on the earth, and that He restored His priesthood authority through the prophet Joseph Smith and that God continues to call prophets today. I also know that the Book of Mormon was written by ancient prophets on the American continent, and contains the fullness of the Gospel. It was translated by the prophet Joseph Smith through the power of God and has the power to change lives and bring us closer to God than any other book through careful study of the doctrines contained therein.

To those who may be reading this and have questions, please feel free to message me on Facebook or visit Mormon.org. My Facebook is: https://www.facebook.com/jaren.brown.37 I can promise you that the Book of Mormon will change your life, and that it can bring you more joy than you have ever experienced.

I love all of you, and wish you the best!
