my hair was dead so I asked Hna Brown to cut it for me because I don’t really trust a Peruvian to cut my hair, so she cut mine for me and I cut hers and…
that’s when we realized we both can’t cut hair…haha! They are both very off but it’s fine because our hair is healthy right? Ha
we leave notes on our investigators doors to
make them feel happy!...and because they didn’t answer the door.
me, Hna Burgos, Elder Martinez, and Elder Chub in the stake center for General Conference.
Just so you can get a better idea of the height difference here! Haha #giant
THIS WEEK was good, but really just this weekend! Conference was so great!!
We all went to the stake center to watch it and
Saturday they didn't have the english room set up for us missionaries until
Elder Bednar spoke and then we had a little gringo party, but it was so good!
and then the same thing happened Sunday morning! I had the first 3 talks in
spanish and then we had the english room and I was so grateful for the english
room because I needed it in english ha
I really loved so many of the talks. Elder Scott
is just my favorite!! I love him so much and Elder Uchtdorf was so good too! And the members of the Seventy as well as M. Russell Ballard! When President Monson spoke about his wife I almost cried! It was a really
great conference! I just loved when President Monson was talking about life and
said "shall I falter or shall I finish" and it just hit me that one
day we are going to finish this life and start a new one, a perfect one and so
we need to focus on the finish like a member of the seventy said "faith
points to the future" and when Elder Scott spoke about the Atonement, that's where we need to point our faith to know that when we mess up we need to
use the Atonement in our life and realize just how important it is and then
when another member of the seventy said "do we remember the promise we
make every week?" and I'm not going to lie sometimes I just take the
sacrament without a thought but we need to realize how great of a gift and how
great this opportunity is. ahh I loved conference and honestly I think this is
the first conference where I didn't fall asleep! Yay missionary life!!!
our investigator Edgar was able to come to a
session of conference and after I asked him what he thought and he said that it
was boring....and I was just like for real! ha but he was like yeah no it was a
little boring but what they spoke was really beautiful...so I am going to take
that as he liked it! ha we all know you have to learn to love conference.
but this week was good, not the best, we are
really just trying to work on our investigators to get them to progress. WHY DON’T
PEOPLE BELIEVE (#frustrationstation) but it's fine ha
We had a really good lesson
with one of our investigators named Martin, we had taught lesson one but we
felt like we missed something while teaching so we decided to really focus on
listening in our next lesson with him, so this week thats what we did, and Hna
Burgos was such a great example because she was asking such good questions! I
felt the spirit working in him and we were able to find out that he has faith
that God exsists and that's why we have the earth but other than that he
doesn't really have a testimony of God. he doesn't think that there is a life
after this one and he doesn't feel the need to repent and Hna Burgos explained
that we all have a purpose and that's why we are here and that we will one day
return to our Father in Heaven and that's why we have to repent
and we are able to repent through the love of Christ, it was just a really good
lesson and we were really able to get to know our investigator because we
listened to both him and the Spirit, and during this lesson my love grew for
him. I just want him to know how much Heavenly Father loves us and wants us to
return to him, like one of the Elders from the seventy spoke, He is waiting
with open arms waiting for our return. And it's an amazing experience that we
are able to share that with people.
Mom I got my package and I have been a good
child and haven't opened it which has not been easy. but I'm a good person now
so I'm waiting ha
thanks for everything you guys for your words
and for your love!! and for the pictures and for the support and for
everything!! I love you all so much!!
have a good week!!
