Yek, Do, Se.

    Yek, Do, Se is one, two, three in Farsi! That's right, I learned some Farsi! I took these people from Iran on a tour the other day, and they taught me some Farsi! They were so awesome, they loved it! I love being at the Mormon Battalion so much, you meet so many people! A couple of weeks ago I met a man from Qatar, some people from Germany, also someone from Boston, which I was super happy to hear because I thought of everyone back home! Everytime I Tell people I'm from Rhode Island, they try to crack a joke like "Oh 1 out of the 5 people there" hahaha so funny! (but not really!)

    Anyways, someone on my tour had to write a paper on the history of Rhode Island and they told me some funny laws that they had before. One of them was something like, "Thou shalt not bite another mans leg" and "If you marry an Idiot than the marriage doesn't count" Good thing those laws where there huh..... There were some crazy laws back then. 

    This week we had Zone Conference! Mind Blowing! Basically about 2-4 Zones get together and the Mission President, his assistant, and his counselors talk to us and help us improve on some things. President Clayton talked about 19 evidences that prove that the Book of Mormon is true, it's the word of God. I will list them for you :

1. The speed at which the Book of Mormon was translated- 2 months 

2. Plausible History

3. Plausible Geography 

4. Volcanoes

5. Chasms

6. Metal Plates

7. Gorilla Warfare

8. Locations

9. Alma

10. Land of Jerusalem

11. Burying Record

12. Mosiah

13. Olives

14. Thieves & Robbers 

15. Simile Curse/Oath

16. Cognitive Accusative

17. Sidon & Tyre

18. Bible Quotes

19. Pseudepigrapha 

    Now you're probably thinking, what in the world are you talking about? Although we have all these evidences that the Book Of Mormon is in fact ancient writings of people who lived long before we did, they do not matter. The only evidence we need is the Holy Spirit testifying to us that it is true. So many people get caught up in the facts, in the little things, but when we ask God with a sincere heart then we will receive the BEST evidence that we need! I know that the Book of Mormon is true, that it was translated buy Joseph Smith by the power of God. It is our guide to help us so that one day we may return with our Heavenly Father. I know it has the power to change people's lives, but only if they let it. To all those who have a copy, read it, learn from it, and ask God if it is true. If you don't have one go to Mormon.org and have a free copy sent to you, then read it, learn from it, and ask God. 

Love you all!
