How are you? I hope you know I love you and that this little email can bring a smile to your face today!
This week was good. We have a progressing investigador, Alvaro! He is SUPER ready to hear the message of the gospel and he reads his Book of Mormon and even went to Conference! His wife is a member and we are so excited to see them have an eternal family. We have been having Noche de Hogar with them every monday, which is basically a fun and spiritual family night and an opportunity for the family to get together! They have been a huge blessing in our lives here and we are excited to see them enjoy the fruits of the gospel in their lives!
How did you like conference? What was your favorite part? I do not know where to start cause all of the talks were SO good but I will tell you one that effected me this week.
Elder Hollands talk. He talked a lot about the compassionate service we should have for the less fortunate and it really hit my companion and I hard when we went to go teach our good friend Josefina. She has 3 daughters and is really really poor. They dont have a lot of food or clothes or a bathroom or nice things but they always let us read the book of mormon to them and have the sweetest spirits ever. Josefina is also pregnant and is suffering from many illnesses. We were teaching her and I offered a prayer for them and she said that she instantly felt comforted and felt that some of her burdens were lifted. I know that it was nothing I said, but that God truly is aware of her and wanted her to know how much He loved her, and how much he knows her. I know that God knows each of us and our circumstances. I also know that no matter where we are or what circumstance we are in, He just wants us to know that we can always turn to His son, Jesus Christ and feel peace in our lives.
I know this church is true. I LOVE you so much. So much it hurts! I think about you and pray for you by name, daily. I really hope you have a good week and always know that I love reading your emails! They mean so much.
Keep on being wonderful!
Love you forever and for always!
