Hola hola! I hope everyone just had such a great week! I had a really great week! I feel like every lesson we had was just great and the spirit was really strong. This past Thursday we had capacitación de zona. I think its called Zone Training in English. Maybe. It was super great! All of us missionaries (companionships) were given a question that we were supposed to study and we would have to teach it to the rest of the zone. It went super well! Everyone learned so much from everyone. And it was crazy how strong the spirit was. My companion and I taught very last. And our misison president said that we only had 2 minutes to teach haha. So we did our best! We had interviews afterwards and he said that I taught really well, so Ill take his word on it :)
Our weekend went really well. We have been able to find new people and its really amazing how nice people are to us! This place is really great. I am so exciting to start working with the new people that we have found! We found this couple a few weeks ago and we went back to them again this past Saturday night and they are just so welcoming. They always give us food haha. They are amazing. And then we had time to share about the restoaration. After we finished, the dad said that whenever we were there he could feel a peace. That made me so happy :) And the mom had questions afterwards about different things. She asked what happened after the first vision. After Joseph Smith saw God, The Father and Jesus Christ, and so we talked to her about the Book of Mormon. We gave them a Book of Mormon which we don’t’ normally do until the second lesson, but I felt that I should. I think we are going to try to visit them again this week before Saturday. (They invited us to lunch Saturday, which is a big deal, because we never have lunch with anyone). Its just really great to be able to find the people that Heavenly Father has prepared.
Our mission has been focussing on the gathering of Israel. Let me tell you. The Book of Mormon and Bible is FILLED with scriptures of the gathering of Israel. I know that we are in the last days. We were chosen to live during these times. We have a great responsibility and a great privilege to share this amazing gospel to all the world :) There are people waiting! I know that this gospel is so unbelievably true. It is the best thing that I have. This work is incredibly hard, but why would it be any other way? In the words of Holland--- Salvation is not easy. I love my Savior and what He did for me. I want others to know what He did for them.
Thank you all for your amazing support. I hope you are all happy!
