HI FAMILY! Wasn't General Conference great?! We were lucky to be able to watch the different sessions with some people we're teaching and with members. One recent convert, who has been struggling a bit, agreed to let us come over for the first session. When we walked in, we got it all set up and everything was great. THEN, one of her friends stopped by and she went over to make her food and talk to her in the kitchen, apart from where we were watching. We were like, "Oh great... She just let us come to watch it by ourselves..." They were there for awhile and then she came out and said, "Don't worry, girls, she's about to leave." When Rosa finally came back and sat down to listen, it was at the PERFECT TIMING. The speaker was saying EXACTLY what she needed. Then she turned to us and just said, "WOW." It was pretty cool. We were pretty bummed one minute and then it turned and we were excited. She said she wanted to watch the other sessions too. Heavenly Father really does guide his servants in General Conference to say what we need to hear. :) OH! And I listened to 2 of the sessions in Spanish and understood pretty much everything. SO MUCH MORE than last conference. That was exciting. But it's never quite the same as watching in your own language.
Also, we had a sweet little experience I wanted to mention. Hna Hernandez and I were at Arctic Circle to teach a man we had met recently. As we were ordering milkshakes, a woman came up to us and asked us if we went to church. Well, yes, we told her. We asked her why she asked. Then she said that she could "just tell." I felt pretty good after that, that people actually do notice how the gospel makes us happier. It may or MAY NOT have been because we were wearing skirts and nametags, but I have a feeling it was more from the spirit. Either way, we were able to talk to this lady who spoke spanish and tell her a little about Jesus Christ.
Well, this was an excellent week and we really are seeing miracles all the time. The message of Jesus Christ's atonement and resurrection really does touch people's hearts. The movie Because He Lives is really powerful. Keep remembering to share it and more importantly, share your testimony of Christ. That's what it's all about!
Have an amazing week and see the blessings in everything Heavenly Father does!
Con amor,
Hermana Shirley
I love seeing spanish license plates. Don't worry, we followed this car to see where they live. They pulled into Dollar Tree. Typical. (Que tal=what's up)
HAPPY EASTER!
It rained, even though it was sunny... SOO we got a rainbow. :)
We saw a monkey. No biggie.
