Blessed week

Hola mi amada familia!

This week...was the best. I'm going to struggle finding time to fully describe everything that happened, because it was all TOO good. 

First off, we had interviews with President Hewlett. Let me tell you, that man is amazing. We may have both spent half my interview sobbing. The spirit was SO strong and he answered a lot of my questions I had had. also, he gave me some advice to drink Diet Coke...so any of you who really know me, know that I took that advice very seriously ;) 

We also had a member of the Seventy come to our mission! :) Elder Hallstrom came and we had a zone conference on Friday. It was AMAZING. I learned more about teaching by the spirit, and how important it is to make sure our investigators and members understand faith in Jesus Christ, and that we have faith in Him. He talked about who we should be, and talked about the importance of remembering our divine heritage as sons and daughters of God. Then he shared about the importance of who we should become. He talked about being COMPLETELY converted to the Gospel of Jesus Christ, because then we will be able to have a firm foundation when the hard times come. Needless to say, I left the meeting inspired and with lots of things to do and get better at :)

We are struggling with our cute investigators wanting to set return appointments with us...they always call and cancel before, or we show up and they don't answer:((( Any tips or advice with that? 

We are still teaching a woman named Janeth, she was a referral from the English elders (they give us the name and phone number of basically everyone they talk to in Spanish lol) She is amazing. She has been reading the Book of Mormon for months now, and her boyfriend is a member. She has gone through SO much in her life, she says its like a novela, and it totally is! She told us that she wants to be ready for when her boyfriend moves back to Houston, in a few weeks, so they can start a family in the same church and be an eternal family. HELLO that is exactly what you wanna hear as a missionary! Stay tuned with her. :) 

What else? I am so happy. I finished the Book of Mormon this morning again, and I have grown a LOVE for that amazing book of scripture while I have been here. I know, without any doubt in my mind, that it can bring us closer to God than any other book and that it was written by God! :) GO SHARE IT! It's the best book ever. I know its tough to share the gospel in Utah. But I challenge y'all to share something on social media today! :) 

I love you all! Oh I and I completed 10 months in the mission this week! Kinda crazy....only 8 more months and its gonna go by before I know it.
