Your Version of Conversion

Hey Family!
This weeks letter is going to be entitled ¨ÿour version of conversion¨

Why? Because this week we have been focused as a companionship on the conversion of oursleves as missionaries, we´ve seen miracles happen with the conversion of our investigators and our bishop gave a legit lesson from Alma 17 about conversion. Everything is wonderful here in La Mariposa, again I am grateful for this change that I have had to be here again. We had an incredible lesson last night with our bishop and one of our familias that is progressing, la familia Obregon (thanks for your prayers!) The lesson was about baptism and clearing up doubts that they had. They always ask a ton of questions which is great, but sometimes they are not always the most relevant. So our bishop gave them some scriptures from Alma 17 about how to be converted and how no matter what they might always have questions or doubts, but not to worry becuase they would keep growing and learning in the church. This family is awesome! Their meta is for this month on the 27th and we are meeting with another family tonight who wants to be baptized but just have to get married first. We´re so excited! But the bishop told them that Alma 17: 2-4, 10-11 was the key. Read these verses and you will find that these are the things we need to do to have a real conversion. I was in awe this whole lesson at the spirit that was felt. All these ideas were just flooding my mind and I just felt so much love!!! for everyone!!! These are the moments that make everything worth it, puchica! It also made me so grateful for the role of the bishop. I am so grateful for my dad and all that he does for the good ol MP 17 and now working this closely with bishops in the mission, I understand a little bit more of the workload and weight that they carry and the unlimited amount of love that they have to have for their fold. I feel bad asking the bishop to do things sometimes because I know how busy he is, but he always says that its no problem, whenever we want he will do whatever needs to be done. That reminded me of what my dad would say, so I just want to say thanks dad for all you do to support me and the ward.

The other part of conversion this week is the level of our converts love for the gospel. Ingrid is the one sitting next to other investigators making sure they feel good. Evelt brought a family of 5 to church yesterday because the dad is his friend and he wants him to know the gospel. Heidy was showing off her hymnbook that we gave her to one of our other investigators and now they are besties. It´s just incredible to see these people that I love so much... progress! This area really is a dream and I have been so lucky to have had the chance to work here.

My comp gave a bomb talk on testimony yesterday and how our testimony stems from our personal conversion and that all we need to do is to share our testimony with others and not be afraid to share what we have!

There was a bunch of other funny stuff that I was going to tell you, but there is so much going on that sometimes I forget to write it down. But I will tell you that its pretty funny/ironic that one of my favorite hermanas here has a ¨miller light crew¨ shirt, the first counselor sports a coors shirt on saturdays and the bishops son has a collection of various other beer type shirts. The greatest thing is some of them have no idea what they even mean, everyone just buys 25 cent shirts here and they are usually in english and they have no idea what they say! It´s hilarious and we try to explain to them. Guatemala continues to be crazy but I couldn´t love more what I am doing and where I am doing it.

We got so much sun on Saturday when we were helping with the primary activity from 9-1 pm out in the sun in pday clothes, not noticing that our tshirts were a different style than our normal everyday shirts and so we got fried. It was great. The kids were so cute and loved the activity that Hermana Blanca planned for them and we got to help.

Hope you have a great week! Nara, let me know if you got my postcard! I hope it gets to you before you leave España. Loves to all! Tay thanks for your uplifting story, mol I got the valentines card, thanks! Hope everyone is doing well! love you all! Thanks for your prayers!

Love,
