Wow! What an AMAZING WEEK!!! I don't even know where to start! First
off, thank you so much mom and dad for the letters and package!!! That was a
great surprise to see and it was exactly what I needed! This last week started
out super great! We have 4 new Elders in our area ha so there are 5 elders and
us 2 sisters. We have our own apartment now and so that's been taking some
getting used to but I also love it!! We visited with a less active member and
it just happened to be that her non member friend was over. SO! We taught her
about the gospel and we have a return appointment with her. This was such a
huge blessing because we really need new investigators!
Also! I love the priesthood can I just say that! I have gained such
a deep love for the priesthood as I've been on the mission. I received a
blessing this past week and wow it was fantastic. It always makes me feel so
much better and helps remind me what my purpose as a missionary is. I also am
reminded that Christ fulfilled his purpose on the cross and in the garden of
Gethsemane. That he went through all of that just for me! Because he did this,
I can conquer all of my trials too because I have his help :)
Our investigator Andres baptism date moved to December 7th and I'm
so excited!! The only thing right now is that he doesn't know if he believes
that we have a literal prophet today. So! My companion and I have been teaching
a lot about prophets and letting him hear the words of Pres. Monson. We
committed him to pray and seek to know if President Monson is God's true
prophet. And I know that he will receive an answer!!
Sunday was fantastic because our recent convert Amada gave her first
talk! She did an outstanding job and she just pours her heart into her words.
It's definitely a great experience seeing her keep growing in conversion! And
best thing of all we had a special meeting with Elder Bednar!!! There are so
many things that I learned and felt there. Above all though, I learned that we
are Agents not Objects!!! Which means we are to act and use our agency. When we
just ask for things we are not showing God our faith. Don't just pray for
people to come to church, go and bring them!! True faith is going out and doing
the will of God even when you don't know exactly what to do. Because once you
take that leap he will help you. Also! Everything works out if we are just
obedient to the commandments and are good people. If you just do your best in
everything you are called to do and align your will with God it all works out.
This meeting was just life-changing :) I know that Elder Bednar is called of
God and he truly speaks Gods words! All we have to do is listen and let the
spirit teach us what we need to know!!! I love you all very much!! Have a
fantastic week!!!!
Te Amo!!!
