Week 60 - Lodz

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

     Hope everything is going well for you all, wherever you are!  Life is good over here.  It's pretty crazy that we only have one more week until Christmas, it's come up fast.  But yea, this past week was a good one.  We had a meeting with T. for the first time in a couple weeks because he was on vacation, and that was good.  We also had one with our investigator O. on Sunday, and that went well as well.  We had him read Jacob 4 before the meeting, and then we talked about his progression and stuff.  It's amazing to hear him tell the story of how far he's come to this point since he met the missionaries like a year and a half ago.  We're going to try helping him simplify things and continue having him read from the Book of Mormon and see how things go.  My spiritual thought for this week is a short one, it comes from where I'm reading in the Book of Mormon recently.  It's 2 Nephi 2:25 - 

25 Adam fell that men might be; and men are, that they might have joy.

We came to this earth as a result of the Fall of Adam, and we came to this earth in order that we could experience happiness.  What a great thing to know that even if things are hard in this world, even if things don't always work out the way we want them to, we can be happy through our knowledge of the Savior and our knowledge of God's plan for us.  Have a great week everyone!
