Hola!

Hola from California!

 

 

This week has been genial (great) !! We have  been very busy & working hard. We've been teaching some personas asombro ! We invited our friend Delfino to be baptized ! He said he needs a little more time but he is preparing for his baptism soon so that's sooo exciting !

 

 

Everyday is an adventure and I LOVE  finding and talking to new people. We talk to people from all different backgrounds , religions, and cultures. We meet with Muslims those of the hindui faith, some atheist and other christian faiths. Many tell us "all ways lead back to God" and "it doesn't matter which way you go".  I don't have all the answers for them but I DO have faith and trust in God.I do have a testimony of the restored gospel, prayer, and the Book of Mormon. We have a living prophet today who guides and directs us so we know which way to go .I just bear witness to them for what I know to be true, and let the spirit teach.  Wonderful things happen when the spirit teaches. I testify of that.

 

 

We met this nice man named Berny and shared a message with him and got to know him a bit. His wife and kids are in Mexico and he's working here in California. I've been praying to find someone whose ancestors need work done on the other side, and he starts telling me about his grandparents who passed away and how close he was to them, an answer to my prayers.

We are hoping to teach him some more, he also gave us a bag of Churros ! The best churros I've ever had !! haha

 

 

A scripture I'd  like to share is in  Ether 12:4 "Wherfore, whoso believeth in God might with surety hope for a better world, yea ,even a place at the right hand of God, which hope cometh of faith , maketh an anchor to the souls of men, which would make them sure and steadfast, always abounding in good works, being led to glorify God. "

It is my prayer that we can all try to be  a little more like our savior and love those around us and see everyone as children of God & hope for a better world.  I love you all !!

Hola Amigos

Hello Everyone     This week has been awesome. We've been busy finding new friends and working in the office, I'm amazed at how we are able to accomplish our goals each week. On Saturday we received a referral and went to visit the family, however when we arrived at the apartment the man that answered the door said we had the wrong address. Of course we didn't turn away but we shared a message with him and invited him to church Sunday. We were surprised when we saw him walk in the doors Sunday. I was SO EXCITED ! I know the Lord has a plan for everyone and this young man took a leap of faith from what little he knew about the church, he felt something and wanted to learn more. It's hard sometimes to get our friends to come to church but then little miracles happen like this and I'm reminded that this is the Lord's work and our job as missionaries is to help people feel the spirit. I'm excited to teach him and help him recognize the spirit. I'll keep you ...

2 Baptisms & Christmas!

Hello Everyone   So many great things happened the last few weeks, First of all we had 2 baptisms last week !  Pablo got baptized and we are so happy for him! He is such a light ! He wants to serve a mission and has such a strong testimony. His baptism was scheduled for sunday but he was leaving town to go work and so we hurried and got his baptism together in 3 hours !  Then are friend Kevin was baptized by his father. His family is so humble and kind. I was so grateful to be a part of his special day.    We are teaching a really great family and they had a daughter that just turned 8 so they invited us to her party. I Love to teach these little girls. It's been so fun to watch them learn about the gospel. My companion and I made a ton of sugar cookie cut outs and used them in our lessons for the kids & they love it !  I can't get away from making cookies haha  We are also teaching a neat...

6 MONTHS!!!

Hola!     Well I'm at my 6 month mark and I can't even believe it ! Time flies when you're  having fun !!      San Jose is the place to be and I'm enjoying my new assignment. The office has been pretty great so far, very different from what I'm used to but I'm learning the ropes fast. It's amazing what the church is doing with social media these days, we are able to reach so many people this way. I've been put in charge of the instagram(Spanish page) for our mission. I also instruct other missionaries on the use of their instagram page, and help them learn how to share the gospel on social media. It's been a unique part of the mission so far! We are still teaching some great people here in San Jose and I'm excited when we get to leave the office to  go teach ! My new companion is Hermana Yoder from Boise Idaho. She's super cute ! She produces all  the spanish videos for the social media pages and I'm her sidekick :)      I LOVE bein...
