Week 86- April 6, 2015-El Molino

(We are having p-day on Friday as well since it's our temple day so I
will be writing more then)


Dear Home,
This has been a pretty good past week and half. But I'm not going to
lie, I'm extremely tired... Pero ahí vamos.
Conference was awesome. It was cool to see that the two general
authorities that have come to this mission both spoke at conference
(Elder Brent Nielsen and Elder Sitati, the one from Africa). I really
enjoyed it and I feel like it gave me a good refocus for the last bit
of my mission and post mission. Kind of sad to think that was my last
general conference as a missionary. I got to see Elder Fellows (future
roommate) and talk to him a bit. It's weird to think he and Elder
Merrill, two of my past companions are going home so soon! But it was
good to talk to fellows since I haven been able to see him in so long
because of all his assistant responsibilities. It seems like there's a
good chance I might not be finishing my mission as "extra
responsibility free" as I thought. But we'll see. Transfers are next
week so a ver que pasa.
We found a really great family not too long ago. They are a young
couple with two baby boys who live under a recent convert couple from
the English ward. The recent converts are super cool, the Regalado
family. They are in their 80s and are originally from Mexico but go to
the English ward. They referred this couple to us. They are very
prepared and have a lot of desires to know and come closer to God.
Alex, the husband, has gone through some crazy stuff in the past. But
it impresses me that even though he passed through the things he has,
he still believes in God and has desires to do what's right. The
lessons we've had with them have been great because they have a ton of
questions and they are really humble and willing to learn. Elder
Stuart and I both feel very blessed to have the opportunity to teach
these great people.
I got to go to the temple today as well. Always an awesome experience.
I know that God is our Heavenly Father and knows each one of us
personally and by name. I know that through the atonement of Jesus
Christ we can be clean and be able to be with our families forever.
This life is for us to enjoy and to prepare to meet God in the next. I
love the words of Isaiah when he says "through his wounds, we may be
healed." I know that's true, because I have felt it.
Love you all!
