La Conferencia Se Acerca

Hellos friends!! How are you lovely people doing? This week was good, normal (qué milagro!), and a little slow. But I'll take it in comparison to the last couple of crazy weeks we've had ;)

We're working with a couple of new investigators who really have a lot of potential and we're excited to see where it goes :) one sweet lady who came to church is named Soraida. She's from Guatemala and she's, like, maybe as tall as my shoulder. Maybe. She's really little but also really sweet :) she's also got two adorable girls who're just as tiny as she is.
In other news it broke 100º the last 3 days in a row. The heat is suffocating. It just, like, ENGULFS you. Bleh. Also we ate only white people food this week? That was odd. We actually were given a salad with our dinner three times (basically unheard of, also a miracle). We also have a brand new elder in the district! Elder Chavarria is training Elder Davis. He's from Salt Lake (La Fábrica), is half Bolivian, and is going to be a wonderful missionary! He's already doing great and we're glad to have him with us!

But the highlight of the week and probs the highlight of this coming week is the fact that we have GENERAL CONFERENCE!!!! We had the women's session this Saturday and I was amazed, my friends. I am utterly and completely convinced that when we go into conference humbly, looking for answers, we will receive them every time. We can even receive answers to questions we didn't fully realize we had, or answers to questions we'll have in the future! General Conference is an enormous testimony-builder for me of the fact that A) God knows and loves me. He knows what I need, and B) these men and women who speak are ABSOLUTELY inspired of God. How else could they give such powerful and uplifting and hopeful messages? I am certain they they couldn't.

I'd like to invite each of you to ponder throughout the week what questions you might have, ways you can improve, etc, and write those things down! I promise that as you listen to the inspired words of these servants of the Lord you will receive the answers you need :)

Until next week,
