It sounds like alot of fun back at home with everyone and our stake conference is coming up like next weekend but what im really excited about is this wednesday for our zone conference a member of the quorum of the 70 is coming to speak to us so it'll be really cool.
So something that i studied this morning that i think is pretty cool is that i learned about how Egypt started in Abraham 1. Its pretty crazy it turns out that one of Noahs was named Egyptus and she was the one that found it and her sons name was Pharoah and it turns out that he was a really righteous ruler but he couldnt have the priesthood cause he was a descendant of Cane and then over time the pharaohs went bad and claimed that they did have the priesthood. That’s pretty crazy huh that is some more proof that there is no way that Joseph Smith made up the Book of Mormon or the pearl of great price cause i dont think that anyone knew how Egypt started. Something else that i learned that is very similar to that story is you know the first Nephi in the beginning of the Book of Mormon. Well in the first chapter of Jacob it says that because Nephi was soo much the man that in his honor each king theNephites had was given the title of 2nd nephi or 3rd nephi and so on according to the order of king they were and then over time they go bad like the pharaohs. Well since I’ve been out i have definitely gained a testimony about scripture study and in fact it is a commandment as said in 2 nephi 32:3.

So a little bit about this week. Well lets just say that if i were to use one word to describe this week it would have to be: miraculous. The reason that i say this is because this week was full of miracles. For one of the many that happened, it took place on friday and we were on an exchange with the spanish elders(they cover the entire stake by themselves) and we went to this apartment complex were we new there were alot of mexicans and within the time period of about an hour and a half we found 3 new spanish investigators for them and found SIX new english for us, see i dont think that you understand the magnitude of the situation at hand, let me help you understand a little better. In indianathis finding 6 new gators in a week isnt heard of let alone a total of 9 in less than 2 hours . Well you know how there are always tons of missionaries from the factory of Utah, well at our district meeting theassistants and our zone leaders came to watch and one out of the 10 missionaries that were there 7 of us were from the greatest state Arizona and one from utah, hahaha. So this what happend this week!!
