That's it for the pictures for now.
My scripture highlight this week is the book of first Nephi. It's
frequently where we request our investigators start reading in the Book of
Moromon (seeing as it's the beginning) And so I decided to read through it this
week, trying to find things I could use to teach out of the begging of the book,
where there a slightly less confusing names to keep track of. There is a reason
first nephi comes before all the other books: It is rich with simply explained
doctrine and easy to understand but also deep parables, stories and
visions.
Particularly, Lehi's vision of the tree of life in first Nephi 8 stuck out
to me. It's one of the best summations, or explanations, of the work of
salvation that we find in scripture. I would invite you all to pass over it
today.
Anyways, have a good one. Everyone, you should all know that there is a new zelda game and I'm excited for
it since it should come out just after I get home. Everyone freaks out when Argentina wins but people in San Martin are less excited about the world cup
than in San Juan,
El. Backstrom
