Laura and shunashi, and Elder Bednar!!
July 16th, 2018

Another week down and it was a good one!  Laura and Suanshi were baptized this week!  Laura is married to Abelardo who had been inactive for about 10 years!  The way we found them was such a miracle.  We did exchanges with one of the members, and before we met back up with him and my comp, he had a feeling to talk to one more person, and they didn't want anything!  But as they were talking to them, a family walked by, and the member (max) really felt like he needed to talk to them.  So after my companions and I went home, max went and talked to this random family he had never seen before, and just keep in mind this guy isn't a missionary anymore. He got talking with them, got to know them and their situation, set up a family home evening with them in his own house, and invited us to go.  They came to the family home evening, we talked about the plan of salvation, they came to church the next day, and the rest is history!  They now have a goal to go to the temple in a year and be sealed as a family!  So their baptisms were for sure the highlight of the week.  I know and have a strong testimony that miracles exist!   

   Something else that is really amazing, Elder Bednar is coming to Saltillo!  Hes coming on Aug 31.  I'm gonna meet an apostle!  I'm super excited, I know I will be able to learn so much from him.  

    To end I wanna share a little scripture, really simple but has a lot of meaning. I know God loves us, and just knowing that, can completely change our lives.  When hard things happen, just keep in mind that God loves you, and he doesn't send any trials into our lives that we cant get through.  I love it when Nephi says, I know God loveth his children, nevertheless, I do not know the meaning of all things. 1 Nephi 11:17  When things don't make sense, just know that God loves you and that everything happens for a reason!!  God loves us enough to let us learn and grow!  Have a great week!  Love you all!!

  The best week of my mission!!!!!!! Hello everyone!  I was super super nervous for this week, but it turned out being one of my favorite weeks in the mission so far!!  So my old companion Elder Lorenzo was made zone leader here in Neuva Rosita, it was sad to see him go but ill still talk to I'm all the time because he is my zone leader!!  My new comp is elder Diaz and he is from Argentina!!  He has four months in the mission, so we are both super new, but we are killing it!  This has forced me to learn my area really fast, and I realized I know my area a lot better than I thought.    This week I have realized, that my English is starting to go downhill haha!  Sometimes I forget how to say something. Or I don't know how to use the correct grammar!  Kinda crazy haha.  Now I don't know English or Spanish! sometimes ill be talking to another American missionary and I will start talking in Spanish without realizing it!...

UNA SEMANA MAS TERMINADA (Another week down) Hola everyone!! Everything is going well here in Sabinas!  We are working super hard and having success each day!  We got two more baptism dates!  Their names are Jose and Rufina!  I have a strong testimony that the lord truely does prepare people for us to teach. Things are also going really well with Gerardo, he is the one I'm teaching in English.  He can speak English because he used to be a drug dealer, (narco) and he drove back and forth from Mexico and the united states transporting drugs.  He truly has repented and he has such a strong testimony.  When I first started teaching him he reminded me of Joseph Smith.  He said, all these churches claim they have the truth but they all teach different things.  I explained that Joseph Smith had the exact same question, and I taught him about the restoration and Book of Mormon in English!  He is the only person I have met he...
