Time is so weird and it flies by. I don't understand it but this week was pretty interesting. At least we met a lot of interesting people.
We talked to this lady that said that the covid vaccine has pieces of aborted babies in it, so that was pretty wild.
On Saturday, we went and gave away a lot of extra food and drinks that we have, to homeless people. We visited with 3 of them. The most memorable was the first guy and his name is Francis. Francis prayed with us and thanked us for the food but said, "Where's the Real food? Where's the book (The Book of Mormon)?" This really hit me and shocked me because this man, who is at the lowest level in civil society and has pretty much nothing, wanted The Book much more than he wanted food.
As a counselor in my MTC Branch Presidency says, "The Book of Mormon is bottomless" and this is true. It has so much and there are always going to be things that we can learn from it, and it really is food for our souls.
As Nephi says in 2 Nephi 31:20, "Wherefore, if ye shall press forward, feasting upon the word of Christ, and endure to the end, behold, thus saith the Father: Ye shall have eternal life."
If there are some of you that haven't picked up a Book of Mormon in a while, I challenge you to start reading and start feasting upon the words of Christ and make a commitment to read it everyday with Real Intent, and you will be filled. Your soul will be fed. The Book of Mormon brings peace in our lives and power over the temptations of the devil.
Love you all! Follow our King, Jesus Christ and feast upon his words!
-Elder Alec Shockley
