a true treasure trove - Cosquin

I'll start off with a funny story today. so we were teaching a few little kids, some are members, some aren't, and all of them needed some testimony strengthening. This day we were teaching about the Plan of Salvation. We explained about the premortal life, that we came to earth to learn, grow, and follow Jesus, and then we would all die and move on to the Spirit world. then, trying to see if they understood, I said, "so, we all came to earth to..." "DIE" says one of the little girls, so fast and loud that I just started laughing. She quickly corrected herself, saying that we need to learn about Jesus, but I thought it was so funny.

My favorite part of the week was Sunday. All the youth came back from PFJ (EFY) and they all really really enjoyed it. the whole sacrament meeting was filled with their spiritual testimonies and experiences. They sang the Youth theme for 2020 and asked me to play piano (I hadn't ever heard the song before haha, but I think it turned out alright). But really, it was inspirational to see all the young people with such great experiences, you could tell that this past week really helped them. Some of the people we are teaching were there at church and started crying during the testimonies. It was powerful.

Everyone please read the Book of Mormon, especial with the new Come Follow Me manual, its super awesome, I've been doing it, and I've gotten more out of those first few chapters than I ever have before. the church is true, the book is blue (and the book is true as well, but no, the church is not blue.)
