19 years in the making: Week 18

12/1/14

Hi Family! Happy first day of December.

Before anything, this week the internet was not working at the Stake Center where we normally send mail, so I am at the library and I can't send pictures. And it's too bad because I have some really good pictures that we took this week.....but it's ok!

Last Monday we went to see Rosario, an investigator, and the Zone Leaders and another brother from the church went to give her a blessing. She is going through a really hard time and doesn't know what to do. I really enjoyed the blessing and she said that she felt as though Heavenly Father was right there talking to her. It made us so happy to see that she could feel the Spirit and we're hoping that it will help her.

Also, I gave a talk this week at our District meeting about the Holy Ghost. I really enjoyed being able to study all week long about this topic. I spoke a little bit about how the Holy Ghost is always there to guide, comfort, help, and support us in our lives. Then I shared a quote from the prophet Joseph Smith. I don't have it here with me, but it said something about how we should always the Spirit with us to have the power to do everything. He will help us know where to go, who we should talk to, and what we should say to them. And not just as missionaries, but anyone.

For service, we have been helping at a "Thrift Store" to hang clothes, organize, and clean up. The ladies that work there are so thankful for our time and help. And we really like it because we can set aside some clothes that we like and we go buy them on Monday. And yes, it is super cheap! The shirt and skirts are about $1.50!! We love it!

For Thanksgiving we went to Lozenzo, one of our investigator's home. We have only had two discussions with him but he has a great desire to follow Jesus Christ and change his life. His family is not interested in learning more but they are a really loving family. We ate turkey, ham, potatoes, posole, and many many desserts!! We had a lot of fun with them :)

Also, this week while we were visiting an investigator, they gave us "chapulines" to eat.....they are like crickets! I loved them!! I couldn't stop eating them....I will send pictures later :)

I hope that all of you enjoyed your Thanksgiving and that you could think of all the things and blessings that we have in our lives :) like the Gospel.

I am so thankful to be a missionary and be able to serve my brothers and sister here :) I love you all and I hope you have a good day and an excellent week!!
