Haupei Yall!
FIRST Happy Birthday
Shoutouts to two of my sweet girly pops Mares and Sammy!
Happy Things!
1. We had a baptism!!!
sweet little Luz is from a menos activo family and got baptized this week :) We
thought the dad had it all under control only to get to the chapel and the font
was empty and there were no clothes! We switched into super hero mode, filled
the font with buckets, and the elders ran and got clothes. It only started 30
minutes late! A MIRACLE!
2. We were finishing
up our day and it gets DARK here a lot earlier now (like 6pm) and its a
little scary being in a new area and just in Paraguay...SO we couldve gone home
BUT we decided to go to one last house, a menos activo house where we knew
there was a non member. We went andddd they werent there...BUT they arrived
like 5 minutes later! And we got to share with them about THE FAMILY!
Needless to say, the mama, Maria, who is married to our menos activo, decided
to come to conference this weekend with her son, Gabriel who is 10! AND SHE
LOVED IT! We are excited to see how they progress as a family!
3. GENERAL CONFERENCE
WEEKEND WAS SO BOMB! I absolutely LOVEEE conference. I am so grateful to know
that we have a living prophet, Thomas S. Monson, who leads and guides us in our
day. I am so grateful to know that God has not left as alone and still wants us
to have ALL the truth and ALL the blessings that come from living the gospel.
There were SO many good talks, but there was one that really stood out and was
really special which was...
4. A beautiful talk by
Elder Costa to all the investigators and non members that were listening to
conference. We had the sweetest investigator there, Thania, who we have been
working with since the day we got here, and as he started talking she nudged me
and smiled and said "This talk is for me!" I am so happy she was
there to hear that talk and how Elder Costa emphasized that we need to focus on
what we feel when we are learning the gospel and not what confuses us or holds
back our faith. Heres the link for all yall that are interested ----
Overall general
conference was just the best time and I know that we have a living prophet and
apostles on the earth today to lead and guide us. I know that Christ is the
head of the church and that he invites ALL to come follow him and learn, live,
and participate in the blessings of the gospel!
LOVE YALL!
