President Beckstrand taught of the importance of the Prophet Joseph Smith and how he truly is the Prophet of the Restoration. President bore strong witness of the Prophet Joseph and testified that Joseph Smith was and is a true Prophet of God and of his thankfulness to Joseph Smith that he had the courage to ask God the questions of his heart.
Our Assistants, Elder Bradshaw and Elder Halterman, taught on the "Lens of Application", how we can apply the Book of Mormon in our teaching with faith to help others come to the knowledge of the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon.
They invited a special friend, Marimba, a new convert, to come and share her conversion story and how the Book of Mormon was a key to her feeling the Spirit and knowing that the things the missionaries taught were true.
In the afternoon, we were pleased to listen to Elders Larson, Blackburn, Halterman, and Baquedano share a beautiful music number with us, "Brightly Beams our Father's Mercy."
Then, Sister Beckstrand taught us about "Rending the Veil of Unbelief" in building our personal testimony.
She shared with us the story of the Brother of Jared from the Book of Mormon and how he had such incredible faith in Jesus Christ. To the point, that he saw the finger of the Lord and then was permited to see Jesus Christ because of his great faith. His example should motivate each of us to develop our faith each day.

President Beckstrand again taught of the importance of Joseph Smith and the Book of Mormon.
Our Assistants taught on the "Lens of Application" and how we can apply the Book of Mormon in our Missionary labors.

Sister Beckstrand then instructed our missionaries on how they can build solid testimonies by "Rending the Veil of Unbelief."
Elder Holt, with Elder Hart at the piano, provided a beautiful solo, "Savior, Redeemer of my Soul" which was wonderful.
