I'm doing great! That's crazy that fall break is already just around the corner! I cannot believe that tomorrow is already October and that General Conference is this weekend! YAHOO! This week was so great!

(To interject - I had watched part of a documentary on TV a couple weeks ago about how the Holy Bible had come into existence, and how it had taken a long time for scholars and religious leaders during those eras to finally settle upon the scriptures contained within the Bible. Before this occurred, however, books were added, removed, and many were lost over time. I admit that I am ignorant on this topic, but I found it very interesting that we know and accept many scriptures were lost during the establishment of the Bible, yet many people deny even the possibility that the Book of Mormon is scripture and had mentioned this to Alex.... The following paragraph was his response... ~June )
I've come to realize that so many people deny the Book of Mormon to be scripture because they just don't know what it is. Anyone who sincerely searches to see if the Book of Mormon is true will come to an understanding that it is - it is promised in Moroni 10! It is so true that many books were taken out of the Bible, look in your Topical Guide and look under "Lost Books" and you'll find many interesting scriptures that prove that the Bible is not complete. In fact, the books of the Bible were not compiled until 300 years after the death of Christ. Interesting, huh?
This week was great! Elder Jones and I are doing fantastic, and it is exciting to see how much has happened this past transfer. We have a baptism coming up the 12th of next month, and we just received word not too long ago that she feels like she is ready for baptism. I am so excited! We also have a couple of other investigators who are interested in General Conference and baptism! Today is district preparation day so we will be playing some sports, hopefully in the rain. :) Tonight we will be having a family home evening with an investigator and are also planning on doing tons of unplanned service this week! Rainy days are coming, so people are trying to do as much as they can before it comes!
Love you so much! Hope for the best! Have a great day!
Love,
Elder Alexander J Annand
