#GraciasaqueÉlvive March 30,2015



Querida Familia y Amigos,

This week was pretty good. We didn't do anything out of the ordinary, we tocared puertas, we taught some people, we found some members who had recently moved from Guatemala (recently like December) and didn't know where the Spanish congregation was, so we told them and they came to church on Sunday, even though (per usual) we did not have any investigators at church.
I really enjoyed the Woman's Conference, as well. It talked a lot about families, though, that was kind of hard because I love my family a lot, and I haven't seen them for a while, and I know I'll see them after a transfer.
Something really cool I want to tell you guys about is that we found a Chileana (a woman from Chile). During the course of my mission, I hadn't met anyone from Chile, in fact, I forgot it was a country where people spoke Spanish. Then Kelton got his call to Chile, then we find Laura. (: She's really cool. We haven't been able to teach her yet, but she's solid. We left her with the first pamphlet to read before we came back, then we unable to set a return appointment because she works crazy hours and doesn't even know her schedule. We thought it was a lost cause because she was like, "Yeah, just any time you're in the area, you can stop by and see if I'm here," because tampoco does she have a phone. But we stopped by again this week and she was heading out to work, but we asked if she'd read the pamphlet. She had, and she said she loved it. She said everything made sense, and she wished she had time to discuss it with us. Then we asked if there was another time we could stop by and got the same response as last time, but she asked if there was anything else she could read. So we left her with the Gospel of Jesus Christ pamphlet. We stopped by again later to invite her to womans conference, and again, she was leaving for work and not able to go, but she loved the pamphlet, so we shared with her a #BecauseHeLives card. She's progressing all on her own! She just needs to stop working long enough to meet with us and come to church. (:
#BecauseHeLives! That is the coolest new thing. Cooler than Justin Beiber or Frozen or some other worldly thing that I don't understand! Click it (if your clicker doesn't want to click it, typehelives.mormon.org into the search bar). Watch it. Share on facebook with your testimony and the hashtag #BecauseHeLives. Tell people you see on the street about this cool 2 minute video that's cooler than any Vine (even the one with the cute little kid yelling "MY PLAN IS TO GO TO AFRICA, MARRY A BLACK MAN, HAVE CHILDREN THAT LOOK LIKE CHOCOLATE"), any cat video on youtube, cooler that Charlie biting his brothers' finger, cooler than a unicorn also named Charlie, cooler than Kid History, cooler than Julian Smith (is that it? or is he Jillian Michaels? I don't remember) cooler than ANYTHING. And, added bonus, as soon as the music starts, WHOOSH. You can feel the Spirit. Wow.
Love you guys!
