General Conference and New Comp

Hola

What a great week it was this past week. Elder Alamea and I worked super hard especially to invite everyone that we could to go to the Conference and to listen to our Prophet and Apostoles hoy en dia. I loved the Conferencia! Honestly the messages that were shared were so great and I had some many questions answered. One of my favorite talks was from Elder Rasband when he talked over fear. When we have fear we are not capable to listen to the promptings of the Spirit in our lives. Satan wants us to fear and to not be able to recieve the inspiracion we need in our lives. I loved how the talks have changed my perspectiva on a lot of things. I loved how they talked about having "wounds" in our life and that everything in this life is to prepare us to live with our Heavenly Father again. I think the best part that has helped me to realize that everything that happens in this life is not to put me down but to maybe make me stop and think how can this challenge help my life and what is the purpose of it? DON´T FEAR ONLY BELIEVE. Our Heavenly Father has a plan for us that is so important and we need to put our trust in him at all times. I could go on and on about the things that I learned and the questions I had answered but I would be here all day long. I invite those who were not able to see it to watch it and I promise that your questions in life will be answered. I know that this is the true church that was restored bu Joseph Smith here on the earth. There is no other perfect book than the Book Of Mormon in our lives that will literally direct us as we stay strong on his path. I know that the Iglesia de Jesucristo de los Santos de Los Últimos Días is the true church here on this earth and that hoy en dia we have a living Prophet and Apostoles that guide us and let us know how we can be better. I love being a missionary so much!

This week Elder Alamea and I had an experience that was so awesome that honestly was so impacting on my life. We found a new investigator at the end of last week and we invited her to church and she went. She has been going through a tough time, she lost her job and was living by herself. She asked us for a priesthood blessing so we gave to her and on Tuesday of this week we had a cita with her. We taught her and then after the lesson she gives us a call saying that she had just gotten a job that they just had called her and she had already recieved her answer that this is the true Church. She was reading el Libro de Mormon and read in Alma 5 when Abinadi was talking to the king. She literally opened the Book of Mormon randomly and she began to read 2 scriptures that gave her her answer and she began to cry. I would like to share these scriptures with you guys. They say: 

11 Behold, I can tell you—did not my father Alma believe in the words which were delivered by the mouth of Abinadi? And was he not a holy prophet? Did he not speak the words of God, and my father Alma believe them?

12 And according to his faith there was a mighty change wrought in his heart. Behold I say unto you that this is all true.

When she shared all this with us I was so happy and I felt the Spirit so strong. This is a true testament to me that the Savior exists and when we want to know something and if we ask with faith knowing that the Lord will help us we will recieve the answer. This was another great experience that we had this week that I wanted to share with you guys. She is now going to be baptized on the 20th of October. I am so excited for it all! 

Well we had cambios and it was tough to say bye to Elder Alamea after learning so much from him but I am so excited to work with my new comp here in Benito Juarez. His name is Elder Bentley and he is from SOJO Utah jajajja South Jordan Utah. I am so excited honestly it is going to be so much fun as we have 3 baptisms coming up on the 20th. We are looking forward to finding more people to teach and to getting to know each other better here. Today it was tough saying bye to some missionaries as well who are going home because they have finished their missions. Elder Clark and all his generation is headed home but I hope to stay in contact with them after the mish as well. I hope all is well and that you guys have a great week! 2 hours of church starting January but I see it as more time with the family and bringing the gospel more fully in our houses! I love the Lord and his work!
