These Weeks Keep Getting Faster

Buen día! I have a feeling this email is going to be all over the
place because I frankly just don't know what to say jaja. I guess
we're slowing coming down from the Conferencia General high, but
honestly this week was so great that it hardly even seems like it.
It's been a crazy busy week. Like one of those weeks where you really
don't know how you'll fit everything in, and just do your best going
from place to place. One of the coolest blessings this week is that we
got to be the answers to a lot of people's prayers. It seemed like
almost every lesson or message we shared was followed by a, "this was
exactly what I needed." It was so cool. We got 3 new, really solid
people to teach this week, and we decided to really spend our first
lesson getting to know them before we started testifying of the
restoration. It's one of the things that Preach my Gospel teaches us
to do, but I really haven't used until now, and we saw so many
blessings because of it. Each of these people are going through such
difficult things in their lives right now, but it's amazing to see how
the gospel, not only relates, but provides peace, comfort and refuge
from the troubles of the world. The gospel of Jesus Christ truly is an
individual process.
One example is from Mario. We had been trying to get an appointment
with him for a little while, but they always fell through for some
reason or another, but finally got one, and so we stopped by only to
realize there was no third female inside, so we talked with him in the
doorway. He is currently going through a very messy divorce with the
woman we was married to for 10 years and expressed to us multiple
times just how much he needs the Book of Mormon. It was really
humbling to be able to testify of the peace the Book of Mormon will
bring to someone who so desperately needs it.
So funny story for the week. Sis Castaneyra came back to visit this
week so I got to see her a couple times and she was even our member
present in a lesson! Weird seeing her in pants but when we were at
Hna. Alvarez's (Judy's mom) birthday and I took one for the team and
finished Casty's sandwich for her cause she was too full. Some things
never change haha. Well I hope you all have a wonderful week and take
a moment to count your blessings, because we really have so many. I
love you all! Sigan adelante!
