THIS WEEKS EMAILS

Hey all!
Well this was a great week here with a large part of that due to the fact that it was conference weekend. Oh you just have to love conference. The opportunity to listen to scripture being spoken by the words of Prophets, Seers, and Revelators is simply amazing. It was great because we had a good amount of investigators that went and were able to listen to the Prophet. President Monson is truly a prophet of God. The family was so incredibly focused on in the conference that it seems we all need to double up pour efforts on really following the Lord in everything that we do, beginning in the home. This week we have to baptisms planned and we will be praying that everything goes through as planned. We also have had some really great investigators that have been progressing fall into their old ways. It hurts. You try and do everything for somebody so that they can accept the gospel, and they say they want to, but than you find them doing things they shouldn't be doing. It is sad, and you feel it. Please, stay as far away from the Devil and his temptations as you can, don't even go near it. And if you fall, remember that Adam did too, but he got right back up. And just because you took one step down the wrong road, doesn't mean you have to take two. Satan is sly, elusive, and cruel. Our Savior is everything the opposite. Im sure you all had a great Easter remembering what He did for us. I am so grateful that i can take all of my many imperfections and weaknesses and sins to the Lord, and he can help me change. I love the atoning power of His blood. I hope you all have a really great week and can start to put in practice what the Lord has taught us in this conference. I saw pictures of Elder Sanchez(don't worry, skinny is the new style), he was in a picture with Ammon from my BYU ward.I love you all so much. thanks for all your support.

HOLA TODOS
So it finally happened, exactly what I really thought would never happen to me…we got robbed! Luckily it was only our gas tank, a few bananas, an apple and our yogurt. We spent all morning Saturday trying to get the back door fixed up.
We were en debt to the elders this week because they came twice to our area to help bring one more soul unto Christ. Rubén Rivero had his interview on Wednesday and wanted to be baptised the next day so of course we had the baptism. It went really smoothly and the spirit was really strong.
So sat we headed to the area of the Elders which is 45 min away. I was super sad that we were going to work in another area and not to watch conference (either way we weren’t going to be able to watch because our area doesn’t show conference). The rule in our mission is that you can only watch Saturday session if you have an investigator. The elders told us if we brought someone we found in their area we could go. I was DETERMINED. We were going to find, someone ANYONE. I wanted so badly to hear the conference. At 4:30 we went to work, we had 30 before the session started. I knew that we could find someone who needs the gospel. We taught one lesson with an investigator of the Elders but she wants going to come. So we headed out to make contacts in the street. It was hilarious how hard we were trying. After about 5 contacts we met Fauricio, a 26 single guy who only wanted to talk about money and Britney Spears (he said I reminded him of her, HA!). But he CAME, after much convincing... 30 min into conference we entered. I was so happy to listen. And then all I could think about is how I could help Fauricio to understand what was happening. I missed a lot of what was being said trying to think about the needs of this young man. He stayed the whole hour and half and after conference there was a change in him. They way he talked changed. He ended up staying and talking with the missionaries afterwards. It was so wonderful to see the work of the Lord. He gave me the desires or my heart while using me to help another person come unto Christ.
I love my Savior, I love my Father in Heaven. I know that he wants to help us, he wants to give us the desires of our hearts, but he wants us to work. To give Him all that we can. I know that this is the true church and that if we continue on this path we will one day return to our Father in Heaven.
KEEP THE FAITH
