“...lay hold upon the word of God...”

Time has been flying by it is almost shocking how quickly life goes by. This week was a pretty amazing week. We had another baptism and it was so amazing. His name is Allison and my testimony was built about the scriptures. The first time we met him we gave him Moroni 10:3-5 to read. He did not read it, instead he read the first 5 chapters of 1 Nephi. 

After the baptism we met with another investigator who we did not teach at all last week, but came to the baptism. He told us that he had been reading the Book of Mormon everyday for the past 2 weeks and has only 10 pages left. He told us he wants to get baptized. He went to primary this week and loved it.

I know there are people out there who are ready and if they are not ready, getting them in the scriptures will help them to become ready. I love Helamen 3:29, the power that the scriptures have in our life is indescribable. The spirit they bring is undeniable. 

I love this church and know that we all truly knew each other before this life. How horrible would it be to have the veil removed from our eyes and see some of the things we have done on this earth to some of those we loved the most before this life. Treat all with love, and give lots of forgiveness. It is the only way to find true happiness. 

Eu te amo,

Elder Cooper
