Elder Jonathan Fraley: The Book of Mormon is TRUE!

Hello mom. Baytown is not too shabby at all. My companion is Elder Riches, he's from California, San Jose. We get along super well. He's super cool and we work real hard here. Baytown is neat, lots of hispanics but they mostly live in the hermanas area so that sucks. Have a car but still bike a lot because we have little miles.

Spending time with family is good, glad to hear it. Dad needs to send me the recipe for the fettuccine Alfredo. I miss it.

This week was a lot of fun. Except there's this one guy that we taught twice. The first time was fine and the second...wow, that was something. So we taught the plan of salvation, and afterwards, extended a baptismal date. When he heard it, he basically said no. He wasn't going to change and then he actually invited us to be baptized in his church. We continued to talk and I felt the impression to say something pretty bold. I was straight up with him and said that I knew that God wanted him to be baptized, and I told him that he could feel it right at that moment. I knew he felt it, because the spirit was extremely strong when I was testifying. But he just would not change. We left sharing our last testimonies and dropped him. But last night he told us that the BOM was a lie and Joseph Smith wasn't a prophet. Called it the grand deception of the world. Or something along those lines. Again, we were super bod and told him he knew our message was true, and could feel it. We knew it, he knew it, and God knew it and that he would be held accountable for denying it. I'm grateful because I learned the importance of listening to promptings and being bold.

Some people just are crazy. No mere man could have written the Book of Mormon. It is another testament of Jesus Christ and I know of its truthfulness. And I will never deny it.

Have a good week! Hopefully next week I will have more updates. Love y'all
