These are notes from a church talk. Any misinformation is the fault of the note taker.

– Alma 34:38 take upon yourselves the name of Christ.
– During my mission, my companion and I were discouraged and decided to make a list of blessings each night. Got to see our blessings.
– We need to live in thanksgiving daily.
– Noticed patterns of blessings.
– Saw people’s testimonies grew while we taught them.
– Taught someone in the hall about the restoration, never noticed others traveling in the hall. We were in a bubble of the spirit.
– One trainer said that as she studied the book of Mormon and applied principles we got blessings.
– One investigator felt the book of Mormon was magic.
– One contact had a smoking problem. She promised if she read the Book of Mormon each day her cravings for cigarettes and the wish would go away. When she read the Book of Mormon, she stopped smoking. When she stopped reading, she started smoking again.
– The atonement we don’t know fully how it works but it does.
– When we read the bible, it is not clear of what happens after death. That can is why different religions feel differently about death. However, read: Alma 40:21 tells what happens after death
– Felt the spirit when investigators baptized.
– One investigator got baptized. The next day, he had a bad migraine and didn’t feel he could go to church to be confirmed. He still went to church. When elders put their hands on his head, his migraine went away.
– Gained a testimony of fasting. Did a 24 hr. fast with an investigator who had a smoking issue that prevented him from being baptized. He stopped smoking and 2 weeks later was baptized.
– In serving as missionaries, we learned so much. Appreciated seeing the faith showing by investigators.
– D&C 78:19: those who received all things in gratefulness shall be made glorious.
– Set a goal on returning home to give out a Book of Mormon to one person each month.
– Sharing the gospel strengthens others and strengthens yourself.
– Hope we can all be like the one leaper who returned to Christ and thanked him.
