30 Days

In my ward this past Sunday they gave us a booklet that contained a Coming unto Jesus Christ Journal, which included 30 days worth of inspirational scriptures,talks and videos along with space to write our thoughts for the day. I was thrilled to start on November 1st and begin my Journey of Coming to Christ. I should probably figure out how to say click "here" so you can download the document but I'm not that smart. SO I'll post it, but if you want it in a document, e-mail me at eatoroza@isu.edu and I'll send it to you. I feel this is the perfect way to start the Holiday seasons and a great way to become closer to our Savior. Enjoy...
