Hola Familia! Como Estan?
Well this week has been pretty interesting and something very exciting happened! We had an investigator at CHURCH!! We invited her last Monday and she said she would come but some people are slightly flaky so we didn't know if she would come for sure for sure, so we waited outside of the church for her and then we saw her drive up! She even brought her little granddaughter. This Sunday was different than normal. We had to meet with the English branch because we got a new bishopric. So the spanish unit had to wear headphones and listen to a translation by the group leader. I was so nervous that she wasn't going to like that they had to wear headphones and everything. I just hope she felt the spirit. She has been studying with the Jehovah's witnesses for a few years but hasn't been baptized yet. So I am just praying that she felt something unique and special. she also came to Sunday School and the Spanish members were just so sweet and welcoming to her. We have a lesson with her tonight and so we will see what she thought about the whole thing. I think that the Jehovah's witnesses don't take the sacrament everySunday so I think that was probably very different but that it was ok.
We are getting ready for general Conference! We have made a paper with a scripture about listening to prophets and also a quote from Presdient Monson with the times of general conference. We will be going around and giving them to less actives and investigators to invite them to General Conference!! I am so excited for it. We have Erika, the lady that was just bapitzed, that has never heard the prophet. She is so excited and I am so excited to be able to share this experience with her! I never realized what a foreign and wonderful thing it is to have a living prophet and the fact that we get to listen to him speak to us every six months! I hope that you are all preparing and getting ready to just soak in everything. I don't know if you have read the first article in the Ensign this month that tells the story about the man who was sharing the fact that we have general conference and get to listen to a prophet. The friend asked what was the latest words from their prophet and he couldn't remember. I know that I have been in this category so often. We listen to conference and then it passes and we tend to forget. I want to challenge you all (me included!!) to really listen and then when we get the ensign with the talks to study them. These are the words of the prophets, they are so important. I was realizing the significance of it because this is what I do all day, tell people that we have a prophet and he receives revelation from God to lead and guide us. IT is kind of a big deal:) Also I am so excited for women's conference this weekend. I have been looking forward to it all month! One positive it is being catered by Cafe Rio! YIPEE:) I would love to hear everyones thoughts on general conference and what you learned.
Well family, I hope that you are all doing good. I love you all so much. Keep me updated on all the clark happenings!
Les Amo!!!
