The Beach and the Book of Mormon

The Book of Mormon read!!! 

Reading the Book of Mormon has been an amazing experience...I have yet to finish, but I have loved reading it so far. As I read the Book, I find my self imagining what their lives were like, how they turned to God in those times that were hard, and how we can learn from their experiences when they turned away from God. 

Reading the Book in this way has helped me see the story as well as the bigger picture. These records were passed from father to son brother to brother for hundreds of years for a purpose. That purpose is for the Book of Mormon to be available to us today. We need the doctrine held in its pages. We need the experiences of these ancient people. I love the Book of Mormon, and my testimony of it has grown a lot this week! I am excited to continually study it, share it, and gain a deeper testimony of it. 

We had an amazing week full of miracles!! We started teaching three new people this week! 

We had a third companion this week for a few days. Her name is Sister Sellers! It was so fun having her with us! She is from Aurora! 

One day during the Book of Mormon read, Sister Turner and I went and read by the beach with our district and it was so fun!! The Elders bought hammocks at Walmart and set them up by the ocean, and they let us borrow them for a few hours! 

Love, 

Sister Hadden
