Hello, all!
The
highlight of the week was zone conference! It was really good. We
learned about how to use the Book of Mormon more in our missionary work
and why it is so important. That night we got to practice using it to
contact people on the street and it was cool to see the difference in
the Spirit. We also met a super cool young family who know about the
church because of an uncle who has talked to them about it. They were
super nice and open to learning more. We set up an appointment. We
read the Book of Mormon with the F family and at first they were
reluctant to read aloud themselves, but after awhile they joined in.
The Book of Mormon has so much power! It changes lives. At the end of
the night, Sister Durrant felt prompted to knock on a door. We did,
even though it was late and had a no soliciting sign. We were able to
share a scripture with the man who answered and give him a Book of
Mormon. He had practically asked for it and was willing to learn more.
I know that the Book of Mormon brings the Spirit and is a way that God
can speak to us and give us comfort and guidance.
On
Friday we taught a member family, the Ns, using Mosiah 24:12-15.
We talked about how we can get through trials and challenges. We taught
Brother L and he hasn't been reading the Book of Mormon! 
So we read it with him. Finally we taught E and K. They are
doing pretty well but have been busy so they haven't been able to meet
with us or read the Book of Mormon. They said they would pray and ask
God if the Book of Mormon was true.
On
Saturday we were supposed to meet with B but she was with a
friend and didn't want to come out. So we met with Sister O! She
said she would come to church whether or not B would wake up. But
she didn't. She said the nurse didn't get there for her daughter in
time. But we had a woman visiting from Canada come to church. She is
learning more about the church and she was really cool! She will be
moving here at the end of September.
On
Sunday night we taught K and she had prayed about the Book of
Mormon! She is so cool. We talked about the gospel of Jesus Christ and
she totally understood repentance. At the end of the lesson a man came
out from the apartment across the hall from hers and said he had heard
us talking about God and wanted to join in. He had his Bible and was
really bummed we were already done. It was also almost 9:00, time to go
back to our apartment. But we got his number and told him we would set
up a time to meet with him. So cool!
Well,
that's about it for this week. It is stormy outside right now, and
Sister Durrant has had a nasty cold the past few days, so that hasn't
been fun. But she is a trooper! I'm also looking forward to my
birthday on Thursday! 
Have an awesome week!
Love, Sister Porter
