Dear Everybody,

My companion and I were talking about the Book of Mormon. Your typical missionary topic of conversation. We have been reading the Book of Mormon as a mission. My companion pointed out that the Lamanites, even when they are considered to be wicked, fulfill the role that God has given them. The Lamanites are defined from 1 Nephi 2:24 as a scourge. A scourge the tool of God used for punishment. Every time that the Nephites were at a period of wickedness when it was appropriate that they were reminded of their dependency on God, there were the Lamanites, happy to deliver the fore-appointed scourging.

Way to go Lamanites.

I feel like we also forget that for fifty percent of the book, the Lamanites are the more righteous people. We also have a fairly one sided record. You want to know a story I am really interested in? Abish. Alma 19:16. I wonder what other secret Lamanite members there were.

Anyways, those are my thoughts for the week. If you want to know how the missionary work went-

1. We went finding.

2. We taught people whose native language is not German.

That sums it up.

Hope everyone has a great week!
