Hey family! So this week was really
good. We worked our little buns off here in our area and we had a pretty good
time doing it! We walked and talked to lots and lots of people this week. We
contacted a lot and we are pretty set on lessons for this week! We have a good
time together and it’s pretty fun being together!
So our house is really nice right,
and it’s big and we can stretch out in our hammocks and all, but there’s always
a catch. The house where we stay is where all the missionaries go to die and
end their missions. So we had 14 sisters in our house for the first 3 days of
this week and boy, was it crazy! We really didn’t sleep at all because people
were talking or just waking up early and being loud, but it was also fun to see
them all before they left for home. Hermana Bailey finished up her mission and I
was able to see and chat with her and that was nice!
So on Thursday we got a call in the
night and one of the investigators that Hermana Hoggan and Hermana Brito had was
getting married the next morning. They had been working with them for a while
now. The husband is a member and he is from Chile, Vina del Mar…I think that’s
how you say it. But from the same mission where Eric and Jacob served their
missions! He is pretty cool. We got to go to the court house and see them get
married! It was pretty cool! They have been together for about 16 years and
have two kids that got baptized like 4 months ago and the mom is the only nonmember,
so we are working with her and she wants to get baptized this month, so we will
see how things go with her! They are a really fun family!
So Saturday and Sunday were like the
best days ever for me! We were able to watch General Conference and it was just
soooo good! I went in with 5 questions that I needed to be answered and in the
first session I got 3 answered in the first 3 talks! Then the next day my other
two were quickly answered! I don’t think in my whole life I have ever listened
so intently at conference. I loved all of the talks so much! I was able to
watch it all in English and it was really nice to hear all of their voices! I
got a little English sick there for a while but we bounced ourselves back in to
Spanish real quick! All of the talks were so good. Some things really stuck out
to me. The first being about prayer. How he was saying that we needed to pray
with all of our heart and a contrite spirit and then to ponder for a little
while after. I was able to do that the night of, and it really works and it’s
amazing the answers you can get when you really just kneel there and listen.
Another thing I liked was to have a scripture in your mind every week and to
really focus on it throughout your whole week! I loved that part and we are
going to start doing that here.
There was a lot more that I just
loved and want to apply now and to my future life. The things they tell us at
conference shouldn’t be just a week long thing and then we forget them, but to
actually live them and apply them. I love you all and hope you can ALL apply
the things that you have learned in conference and if you weren’t able to see
all of conference PLEASE go watch it all. For your sake and for the sake of
your fam! Love you all and have a great week!!!!!!!!!
Les quiero muchoooo!
