I turned 20!

 Not much else-- BUT THERE'S THIS COOL SCRIPTURE! So, in the Book of Mormon around the chapters of Alma 24- 27 it talks about the Anti-Nephi Lehi’s and I’m sure most people back home would get it right away but I thought it was cool. So, in Alma 23:6 Mormon tells us that the people never fell away and I was like dang I wish the people I teach would never fall away and thank goodness for the scriptures because Mormon helped me understand why they did not! Because "they were converted unto the LORD" not to Ammon, not to Arron, not to blessing, not to the church, but to the Lord and so that truly changed how I teach people now :)

 But just a really cool example of what he meant is in alma 27 verses 4-12. I think it’s kind of funny too. But if you take it into context it’s an inspiring story of only doing what the Lord would have them do!

 But the funny part is verse 8-9 because, like a good Missionary Ammon resolved a concern, but it wasn't the actual concern of the king, and he was stubborn in truly following only the will of the lord, not of anyone else. It’s a fun scripture to read when teaching investigators and inviting them to pray and find if they should be baptized :)

 that’s all I got
