Start of the LAST TRANSFER. Its gonna be good!

Moving Forward
I am so excited for the Spanish group to start in the next couple of weeks. Yesterday we had President Vasquez (Reminds me of a Spanish version of Grandpa Hoching- made me miss him!) from the mission presidency come and visit our ward and he is excited for the potential here! We will have him and President Mortensen at our first Sacrament Meeting in Spanish! #cantwait

AND... WE HAD 13 SPANISH MEMBERS AT CHURCH! with 4 being investigators. It was a miracle, I just kept smiling bigger and bigger as they each walked through the door! 

Gratitude & HOPE
We went and visited a potential investigator Natalio at his trailer home. His family is torn apart because his son got deported back to Mexico and works two jobs to be able to afford living here and sending money to Mexico for his family. Him and his 2 boys and grandson live off of top ramen and their meager home has hardly any furniture. It was probably the saddest experience of my mission yet. I was reminded of how blessed I am with the life I have and my family.

He felt and expressed that he had no hope in his life. At the beginning he was joking around with us, but when he started talking about his family he got so sad. He has gone to church after church looking for the light of the gospel and hasnt found it. I'm excited to start teaching him and hopefully he will be able to come to church so that he can see the light of the gospel and the hope that is brought through the Atonement of Jesus Christ. 

Book of Mormon is Real.
We met this girl Jessica putting up our Daily Dose English Class flyers. She speaks English and works at a Mexican Quincinera Store. We went into the store to teach her the first Restoration lesson. It was awesome! She is searching for the truth of the gospel! We invited her to read the Book of Mormon, pray about it, and then to be baptized when she knew that it was true. And she accepted! 

It just amazes me those who we are teaching and who have recently been baptized. Their decision will change generations and past generations. Our choices in life are so important and so critical. #anothermissionarylesson

Sister King sent me this awesome link to a Youtube video. It describes the Book of Mormon so simply and beautifully. 


Love Y'all!
