A lady from our ward joined us at the last minute, and we taught Eboni the Restoration. The lesson went super well, and I taught with ease, despite feeling nervous. Eboni is excited to dive into the Book of Mormon and even gave a beautiful prayer, asking to find truth and direction. The member gave some amazing thoughts from her stance as a convert to the church. Thos comments made a huge difference in the lesson. Had she not been there, the lesson would not have turned out as good as it did. Next, we have Don, a man we've only communicated with via text and phone calls while he's been in Cabo. We invited him to church over the phone, and he showed up on Sunday! Insane! We had a great conversation and are building a strong r...
