7 November

Hola Fam,

This week in Leadership Counsel we talked a lot about family history. And how important it is to do it with converts. This week we were helping out Leydi, Alver, and Carol with their family history and its amazing how much they love it. I think Alver's favorite part of the gospel is knowing that his family can be sealed, so we are trying to talk about temples a lot more with him, and he just seems more excited about the gospel. He has been coming to church so I think he just lacks a little bit of confidence, maybe doesnt feel like he is good enough to be baptized. He's great, almost there.

On Saturday we were heading out of our room where we live (the Guzmans' house) and Hno Guzman was working and introduced us to his friend, Alan. His parents are members but he isnt. So we were like "YEAH we wanna teach you!" And the next day, before we had taught him, he showed up at church with his parents. And both of his parents got up and bore their testimonies about how happy and grateful they were that their son was there.. Later that day was the lesson, and he said that 2 years ago he was just about to get baptized, and backed out. But now he is ready again and has a date December 17! We have been praying to find new people through members so God answers prayers. :)

We also have another super cool new person to teach. The elders had a baptism on Saturday, and her sister that lives in our area came that isnt a member. And we found out that her husband has been a member for years but is not active. The lady getting baptized bore her testimony and invited all her family members to listen to the missionaries because of how much the gospel has blessed her life, so we are excited to visit her sister, Patty. 

We saw a lot of miracles this week! We were kind of hitting a point in our area where we were a little frustrated, and we decided to make a lot of changes, and this week God blessed us a lot! Grateful for every chance i have to change and repent, and Im grateful for godly sorrow, and that God always helps us to recognize things we need to change so that we can come closer to Him. He loves us! Love you all, have a good week. :)
