Hola!!

Hhhhello everybody!

This week a couple random missionary stuff happened, so it was basically a modge podge of missionary stuff. Surprising, I know.

We met with a recent convert, Brother Davis, who was having hesitations about the significance of the temple for him personally. So we had a lesson at a member's house and we talked about it and by the end of it he was like, "Woah! I need to go to the temple!" :) Sister Breeden (investigator) signed up on the calendar to feed us this week! :D We're so excited, because this means we may meet her boyfriend which means eternal marriage! :D Obviously I'm missing some important steps in there but, basically. :)

Got a media referral for a Book of Mormon. She is going to Bible school and wanted to learn more about different religions. Don't know quite how interested she is in the gospel though. Her fiance wants to quit smoking so we're helping the both of them.

We were going to have five investigators at church yesterday but only two came. :( I hate that. One day everyone is going to go to church!!

Church was really great yesterday though. Sundays are one of the most stressful days as a missionary and I can't wait to have non-stressful Sundays when I get home. :) But it's ok! Because we get the Sacrament which is the real spiritual booster. :)

Sacrament meeting was great and someone gave a talk that I loved! She talked about how we, as members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, have to do a whole lot compared to other people in other denominations. Here's why: The Gospel of Jesus Christ is His plan for us to receive salvation and exaltation. "The Church of Jesus Christ is the vehicle ordained by Christ by which we learn to live the Gospel." 

We run into people all the time that say they don't go to church because they don't need church or organized religion to be a good person. And that is true. And you don't need church to go to heaven. That is not what church is for. God ordained organized religion, along with all the essential and necessary responsibilities that go with it, to prepare us for Exaltation, to live with God again.

All of this strengthens my testimony of God's love for us. He loves us enough to help us know how to have everything that He has. He wants that for us! He created this Earth and organized everything, to the smallest detail, so that we can have Eternal Life with Him and our families. He restored His church just for us. "For behold, this is my work and my glory: to bring to pass the immortality and the eternal life of man." How can we not want to take advantage of that?!

I know for myself by the power of the Holy Ghost that God is real, and that He is our Father in Heaven. I know that this is His true church that He organized to enable us to live with Him again. And I love Him.

Have a fantastic week!!
