Hace Calor!

This has been a great week!! To start off Norma came to church, after such a long time she came and has a date set for the 18th of July! We are really excited and after coming to church she has a little more motivation! Speaking of which we had a meeting early in the morning before church and after the meeting one of the Branch counselors asked if I could fill in for someone who couldn't make it. Thirty minutes before church starts haha buy was that interesting! As well this week we have had some fairly good lessons with some investigators that are somewhat progressing.
Something I want to share is the importance of the family. The family is crucial to God's plan and for our eternal progression. God's laws will always be the same and we can either follow or not follow, but we have to realize that eternal laws are becoming more white while the world's become darker and darker.

I love y'all and I hope that y'all have a great week!!

Jumping into Technology as a Missionary

This has been a pretty great week! On Tuesday we had a iPads conference and we learned how to use the iPad to study and teach, mind blowing!! We learned how make tags and make different folders for things that we are studying and how to make lesson plans on the Gospel Library app itself. Then we learned how to use the pamphlet app and so
trying to use that instead of paper will be interesting haha  We had some good lessons this week. And a temple trip flopped as well.  We are going to have reschedule Norma's baptism :( she gets sick all the time and so she never comes to church. As well this week a member
from out of town was here for a teacher conference and requested for missionaries to stop by and give her friend a blessing. So we had to go to the hotel and the whole thing was a little weird. We taught the Martinez family again and the mom has been reading a little bit and so they have told us that they really want to learn and come to church so that is exciting!  On Saturday we were suppose to have a temple trip for investigators and less actives but we had to cancel because of rain and because only two other people were going to go. Another day. I can not believe how fast time has flown by. Less that 2 months so I can now say I have less months than you have years to all the new missionaries.....

I know that God lives and that Christ is our Savior and that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is God's Kingdom on earth.


I love you all, God trusts you all, All In!

Interesting FHE's

So this has been a great week! We had a few great lessons and a few promising investigators. We drove up to the most northern part of our area, MILES! We taught this lady who had met with missionaries before but we don't know why she stopped meeting with them. The best part of the week was last Monday when a family called us to invite us to a FHE with them. The FHE was for their son's lady friend who had asked some questions about the church and so they invited her over so that we could talk about it. It was interesting at first haha we realized a few things during the lesson that made it hilarious afterwards. But she was very open the whole time. We also had an exchange the zone leaders and I got to be with Elder Tovar who took my place when I left Boerne. He is from Mexico City and he is speaking English here and he speaks very well :) we had a great day together and I learned a lot from him.
