Dear Parents,
Sorry I didn't email/ write
yesterday, we had P-day today because we got to go to the temple today! The LA
temple is soo cool. It is in Santa Monica, which is like Southlake except
bigger hahah. But it was a great experience to go this morning and start the
day off like that.
On the way out, there was a kid with his dad waiting to go
in, Elder Mathews and I had the prompting to go talk to him and it turned out
he is leaving on his mission to Ecuador tomorrow and he'll be going to the
Mexcio MTC just like me! The look of uncertainty on his face felt so familiar.
And it's kinda funny to think that's how I was just a few months ago!
On the
bus home we got to talk to a ton of people, all super open this time so it was
cool. This past week, we were able to pick up a new investigator named Eduardo.
He is a super humble guy who is prepared to strive in the Gospel. When we
taught him, everything to him made sense and the spirit was awesome in the
lesson. I even told him "You are prepared to hear us" he just smiled
and said: well I'm not sure if prepared is the word but I'd definitely like to
learn more. Hahah, I am hoping and praying that he will be willing to put forth
his part and come closer to Christ. We are going to give him a baptismal date
this weekend so we shall see.
General Conference this weekend was super
fantastic. I think my favorite was Elder Holland, I feel like it spoke directly
at me and that's probably the most gentle I've seen him. We invited a bunch of
people to conference and NONE of them came which was a blow to us. But!
we did have a less active come to the last session on Sunday. Even though we
had almost no one show up, it made our day seeing her there and her reaction
afterwards. She started crying saying that this was exactly what she needed and
that she always feels the spirit when we go and visit. It made me so happy to
have that sort of influence on someone especially as she works back to
activity.
Sorry this letter is a little
short, I can't think very well right now and I'm in a bit of a hurry. But I
love you all! Tell Maruja I am praying
for her out here and hoping for the best. :)
