While President Clayton interviewed each missionary individually, I visited with the zone about our personal scripture study challenge of the Book of Mormon. Each missionary was able to share an impression or a truth they have learned during their personal study; a scripture they have pondered, or a verse that has popped out to them as they have read and studied over the past few weeks. It was very tender to listen to the truths of the gospel that have been learned, and the testimonies that have been strengthened. I loved hearing how these missionaries have likened specific verses to their day, their life and their circumstances here in the mission. Our time together was rich with enlightenment and encouragement to keep reading, keep pondering and listening to the voice of the spirit...and... to keep looking for ways to liken the scriptures to their personal life. I love these missionaries!

We had such a sweet experience together!
As the sisters and I walked to our
appointment that afternoon with Agustin, we each
commented how we wished it would just rain!
It was an overcast and muggy day, and as we walked up Agustin's long
driveway, it started to come! We no sooner sat down, when it just started
to pour! It rained and rained and rained! We visited with him
at his workshop. We had to move our chairs a time or two
to find our 'sweet spot' where none of us were getting
dripped on. It was a precious experience!
These sisters taught a beautiful lesson. It will always be
a memory for me sitting there in Agustin's workshop and listening
to him talk about the love he felt for his family and his
desire for them to want to hear this message with him.
