February 9, 2015 Week 83

Well another p-day...
We have had a great week this week! loooots of good stuff! 

To start it is in the 80's so that is nice... We didn't even have a winter we had a couple of cold days but nothing worthy to be called winter.  
I guess it has kinda been the same in the great SLC! --- that better change next year! 
This was great... 
We had President speak in our ward yesterday! BOOM drop the mic! 
President shared his vision for the Wichita Falls area. 
He asked, "Why cant we had a WF 1 and second ward... Why cant we had a WF stake?..." in sacrament meeting! 
I think it got everyone excited! 

Yesterday our district had 29 LAS at church it was amazing!  
Elder Rodriguez and I were asked to teach the 17-18 year old youth class. 
We asked President come for the last 10 minutes but he ended staying the whole time! Luckily we were fairly prepared.  
But we had a pretty big youth group. We had 14 youth there and they didn’t say anything... I guess I can't complain I did the same. 
But we had a meeting with Our ward mission, Bishop and Pres and Sister Walkenhorst.  
Bishop presented a WMP(por fin) and had me and Elder Rodriguez explain how we were working with LA's and the process that we were doing to clear them off.  
We also talked about mini missions for the youth.  We have one set up this week for Friday, Sat and Sunday... it should be fun! 
I have been really enjoying reading in The Book of Mormon! I was kinda rebuked this week in not using it enough in our teaching.  
But I have had a strong testimony change with The Book of Mormon this week. 
It truly is the thing that will root Any investigator-member less active in the gospel, just because it is either true or not and good ol' Bruce (Bruce R. McConkie) says, 


"Either the Book of Mormon is true, or it is false; either it came from God, or it was spawned in the infernal realms. It declares plainly that all men must accept it as pure scripture or they will lose their souls. It is not and cannot be simply another treatise on religion; it either came from heaven or from hell. And it is time for all those who seek salvation to find out for themselves whether it is of the Lord or of Lucifer."
I love that last line, "it is time for all those who seek salvation to find out for themselves whether it is of the Lord or of Lucifer"... whether they have been a member for 40 years or a few days it is time to Know. 
Why? Because you can throw every Church historical concern in the trash if you know the BoM is true.!! So let's use it! 
BRO B came to church with his wife... first time in 5 years! also gave him a blessing right before.
Well love y'all have a good one,
ELDER FINLINSON
