Welp family and friends, what a week!


We had splits with our Sister training leaders, my comp was Sister Fuentes from El Salvador and we had so much fun, she is a joy! Then we had choral practice for our ward conference the songs ´´In perfect faith´´ by Janice Kapp Perry, `´ I know Jesus loves me´´ a primary song, and ´´Behold the Royal Army´´ in the hymn book. It was great! I love how we have music to sing to our Heavenly Father and I was reminded of the scripture in Mormon 7 verse 7 that talks about the chorus in heaven we will all one day join. How incredible!

During our ward conference yesterday Bispo emphasized the importance of ´´Come Follow Me´´ and the stake president talked about the significance of the Temple and how we should frequent that special place more......2 things that don't apply to my mission life now but will in the future so it was good! hahaha We had 8 investigators come to church yesterday and it is really neat to see the Hand of the Lord here.


Thursday we had Zone Conference and I got to see my trainer before she leaves to go home next transfer to Utah! 

Saturday there was a youth activity and a couple of the girls invited some friends and they talked about the Book of Mormon and called us to give them each one that very night! So we ran over and helped pop popcorn in the other room while they watched Fantastic Beasts, we were only a little sad we couldn´t watch too. 

Sunday we met a woman who came to church and brought her friend! She knew nobody but always had a desire to visit one day, but was always too shy to come alone, so when her friend came into town, she said ´´let´s go to church tomorrow!´´ Her name is Edilane and we will visit her Tuesday! yay!

I know that this is the Lord´s church, that He has a timing for each of His children to be prepared and that we go through hard times to be strengthened and rely more forcefully on Him. I love our Savior!
