Week 23

Dear Family,

How was your spring break! I love the pictures and glad you got to hike the Y and gave some family time!

Our time schedule, well we wake up and exercise for 30 mintues, which I have gone running a couple of times, but no one really wants to :( and we study in the morning, but we do language study at night at 8 because our area doesn't have very much light.

I'm doing good.  I haven't had to use my sleeping bag yet, but yesterday I wore leggings and tights and a scarf and my rain coat and a sweater and was still a little cold so winter is going to be interesting :) Oh and we watched conference in the stake center with the zone. 

This week has flown by! And just a side note, next week are cambios so I won't have p-day until Tuesday, oh and I will also be signing my visa next Monday too!

Well not too many things are happening, I forgot my journal of notes from studying which is bad cause I wanted to share something I learned!.... and can't remember ha oh well! But things are going great here.  Of course we have investigators moving and other new investigators every day.  The work is always going here.

There are tender mercies of the Lord when we try our hardest! I know this! This past week we worked very hard and did our best to talk to everyone, and we talk like 30 (other) lessons and have 16 new investigators! Now we just have to visit them all again and get them going and share with them the gospel! 

This past week we were leaving the church from an acitivity and the other sisters were already outside talking to everyone and they were talking to a woman.  Well we came out and they called us over and were like she lives in your area and she is great! So we talked to her for a bit and set an appointemnt for the next lesson.  When we went we taught her about the Plan of Salvation and then committed her to be baptized for the 26th of April! And then we invited her to church and she was a bit scheptical.... well we passed for her on Sunday and it was a rainy day and told us she probably wasn't going to come because of the weather but would see.  So we go to church and it's right after the sacrament that we look back and right there is Blanca! She had come just in time to partake of the sacrament and then listen to all the talks, it was good.  Yesterday we also did a little bit of exploring.  We thought we were talking the right road but it ended up not being a road we had ever been down and there weren't many houses or people, so every house we knocked to see if we could teach them.  We decided we should start to head back and as were walking we decide to knock one more house.  And this lady answers and she is Catholic but will listen and so we taught her and set another appointment.  I know that if  we are doing our best the Lord will bless us and help us along the way.

Thank you for everything, and I love hearing that you are all doing good! If there is anything I can do for you, or you want me to do, let me know! I love you all so much! And.... share the gospel with everyone :)

Love,

Hermana Louder
