Hi Family! I hope that all you moms enjoyed your mother's day yesterday and I hope that your children or your family brought you breakfast in bed. If not, it's ok. They can try again.
Well, this week went by so fast! We went to visit Hermano Julian this week and we had a super cool discussion and we could feel the spirit SO strong, but Hermano Julian was rejecting the Holy Ghost. We tried to teach him about the resutration and how there can only be one true church in the world. And that this church has to be the same church that Jesus Christ established when He was here on the earth, but his heart is so hard and he wasn't listening. We don't know what to do, but this week we are going to to go again with a Sister from the ward and we are hoping that this will help. He needs lots of prayers.
We had a zone conference this week and it was really cool. As a mission we are really trying to focus on being guided by the spirit to find and teach and our meeting was completely guided by the Spirit. It was really cool to be there and really concentrate and Listen and learn from the Spirit.
Also, this week we went to pick up a sister from the ward from her job in Buelton, so she could go tracking with us. She's been home from her mission almost a year but she's about 30 years old. She is so powerful and such a good teacher. We found a family that the Lord has been preparing and it was so good to have Dulce there with us.
This week went well with the Uribe family. When we first started to teach them we only talked to the dad. Then the wife starting listening once in a while, and now we are going to have the whole family there listening! (Well, all those who live there). It has been cool to see how little by little we have gotten to know them and they have felt more comfortable with us and how now they accept the things we ask them to do like pray and read the Book of Mormon.
Then we had a baptism in the Spanish group on Saturday! Everything started with the Hermana Hortencia. She invited her friend Flor to come to church on Sunday. Then the missionaries went and taught her and now to got baptized with her two daughters who are 8 and 9 years old. Then after a few months her husband got baptized, and now, months later, her oldest daughter Elsa got baptized! It was such a cool service! All of the Elders who have taught this family were able to come and be there with Elsa. It was also cool because a few weeks ago we met her and became friends. The day she got baptized she asked Hermana Zarate and if we could stay with her waiting after she got baptized. It was a really special and spiritual service. We know that the Lord continues to bless this family and that in one year they will be able to be sealed as a family.
And something fun that we did this week was we got to go to "Pork Place" a farm with Jose (our less active member) to help him with some work so that he can go to church on Sunday. There were so many piggies!!! We cleaned up their poop and then we corralled them and then played with them. It was fun and......Jose came to church!!! He really liked it and we were so happy because he hasn't come in so long! Next week I will send you pictures of the piggies :)
Well family, I love you all so much and I hope that you never forget how much our Father in Heaven
loves you. He will always be there and everything He gives us is because He loves us. I know that this is the only true church on the Earth at this time and I know that God helps us with His work. I love you all!!
