dear family and friends
This week was sweet. Luis has been reading in the Book of Mormon and we found out he has a cousin who is a returned missionary who attends our ward. We also found a cool new family who is really excited to come to church and be baptized. They are from Africa but have been living in the states for a while. We went to a sweet fireside hosted by an older couple from our ward who has recently taken a trip to Israel to see the religious history sights. They gave the fireside to share a bunch of the things they learned. Among the highlights where: Joseph the father of Christ was a stone mason, Christs name is perhaps more properly translated, Joshua, Christs adult profession was most likely that of an attorney or lawyer, in Israel, bar mitzvahs take place at the western wall of the temple and are very similar to the endowment, and finally there a Jewish tradition that says there will one day be another Joseph sent to restore the temple and redeem Israel. Needless, to say it was a very interesting fireside.
