I LOVE YOU ALL so so so much! Mom and Dad, thank you so very much for the Easter package! It was perfect because I recieved it on Saturday so it was perfect timing so I had it for the holiday! It really helped to make me feel so loved....not that I have a problem feeling loved by you or anything :) haha! Thank you! I also looked for you all in conference on the sunday afternoon session! I looked and looked but I did not see you....but when it was scanning the entire congregation I whispered every couple seconds that I loved you so that I for sure got ya wherever you were sitting :) haha!
Well, this week has been good. We are working hard and contacted 152 people last week and taught 20 lessons so that it really good! :) The work is fun! In one lesson we were teaching 2 sisters whose names are Maribel and Gisella and also Gisella's little baby Mathew. We watched the short Joseph Smith movie and then my comps were teaching the lesson. During the lesson I felt the overwhelming feeling that I needed to bear my testimony about Joseph Smith....even though I was not sure if we were all still talking about Joseph Smith. I could not find a minute to interject, so I told Hma. Kortsen and she said that she would say that I wanted to say something....finally she was able to and I was able to bear my testimony in spanish that was actually making a bit of sense about Joseph Smith. I was so overcome by the spirit that I began to cry. The 2 women said, "that is the way that I want to feel about this. If i felt that way then there would be nothing that could hold me back from joining the church." Then they started to ask me questions about my conversion story and I was able to kinda answer them in spanish....it was not perfect, but I really seemed to help the lesson. It was because the spirit was litterally urging me (with urgency) that I NEEDED to bear my testimony right then. I am glad that I followed the prompting. Also, last night in a lesson the spirit was so strong and I understood most of what was said by both my companion and the woman who we were teaching. It was incredible. The language is slowly but surely starting to come.....little by little. haha! It is so great! I am really excited and I know that it is only through the power of the Lord.
I also loved conference this weekend and I learned so much! I loved Elder Holland's talk so much too, Dad! He is so powerful huh?!?!?!? The Prophet's talk was so nice as well. We had our investigator's Gisella and Maribel come so that was a real treat!
