Week 41: It is getting HOT!!!

April 7, 2014

Hey how is everyone? Hope everyone had a great week, and enjoyed general conference. How exciting about everyone with their mission calls. Crazy that that happened a year ago. Loved your letters and loved the pictures. It is getting hot here in San Pedro, and its up in the 100s here. I thought I knew what the word hot meant, I obviously didn’t. Its kind of funny, during the really hot hours no one is out in the street, and everything looks deserted. This next week is changes also... semana santa! Meaning that everyone is heading off to the beach, because this next week it is going to be HOT! They told us that it will be around or above 40 degrees celesios or around 100 to 110 degrees F or even hotter.

 

"Watching Conference"

This week was a struggle but was filled with many miracles. The first thing is that conference was such an amazing experience. We had another huge miracle this past week, as we were contacting in another part of our area. As we were walking, my comp told me that we needed to talk to a lady up ahead. So we went up to her and starting talking to find out that she and her whole family are members. We put another appt and showed up the next time to hear about the whole story. The whole family got baptized. They were very active, but about 14 years ago went inactive and lost contact with the church. All of the children at the time of their baptisms that weren’t 8 years of age, are now in their 20’s and some have families. The told us of the wonderful experiences they had during their time in the church. The grandma has started going to another church, and the reason she likes it is because it is like our church. We were so blown away being there. We had an amazing lesson with the grandson who as a kid loved reading the books of the church and has always wanted to go and learn more. The family expressed to us how they want to return to the church.

Looks like he is having fun...We love our missionaries!

Another amazing miracle. One week ago, a family invited us to a family home evening that they were going to have. The husband is inactive and has been having problems with the Word of Wisdom. This family has been sealed in the temple, but there have been a lot of problems in their marriage. We decided to watch finding faith in Christ. We watched it and after began talking about the video and what they liked. Then the most amazing thing happened, they began talking about what they could do to be better, the wife apologized to the husband and the husband said that he needs to be more humble. That really is how the Gospel of Jesus Christ changes us. In that video they were able to feel and see how Christ would act in those situations and made the decision to follow Him.

We had some more experiences but I am going to send some pictures. Hope everyone will have fun this next week. Hope everything is going well, and I imagine that you guys are on your hike right now. I love you guys. I am proud of you guys that you all sat down and watched General Conference. Keep up the good work guys. I love you!
