Mother's day

This week was really good! We taught Ali the rest of the principles he needs to be taight before baptism and did a fair amount of planning for that since it will be this Saturday. ☺ We're super excited for him, it's going to be a great day! We also were able to read from 3 Nephi 11 with one of our other investigators, and she had a pretty cool spiritual experience while we were reading. 

Nothing else too interesting happened until Friday, but the weekend was pretty busy! We had lunch at Panda Express with someone who had a table set up at Cal State the same time that we did a few weeks ago. He was really nice, he bought us lunch, we got to know each other, then he started to talk to us about why we shouldn't believe the Book of Mormon is true. He has definitely done some extensive research, but when it came down to it he didn't have anything that hadn't been said before, and I didn't find any of it very convincing. 

After dinner Friday we went to Down Town Brea because they were having a country music festival and there were a lot of people to talk to. Lots of businesses had booths set up, and we brought a table. We asked the security person if it was okay to set up our table. She said as long as we didn't have any alcohol we were good, so we snagged a little corner where no one was set up and started talking to people. It was really fun, we talked to a lot of people! I was able to hand out two Book of Mormons, one in English and another in Farsi, and the other missionaries there had quite a bit if success too. We decided we'd go back again Saturday, but that time we got caught. We set up a little earlier since we had so much success, and this time we picked a spot that was less out of the way so that more people would come by the table. That turned out to be a bad move because as we finished setting up a different security person than the one we talked to the first time came up to us and told us we couldn't set up there. I was surprised they even let us do it the first day, so it was all good. 

This week I also finished reading the Book of Mormon again, and I know without a doubt it is true. It really does testify of Christ, and as we read it I know that we come closer to Him. Make this week awesome, I love you guys!
