Hey Everyone

May 11, 2015

It was great to get to talk to the family yesterday! Seeing all of you was really an awesome expierience. It is crazy how fast the time goes by! all of the little kids are so big!

We are working with an investigator here and his name is Carlos. He is about 30 and his wife is a less active. He has seen how happy all of his wife's family is and really has been searching for that in his life. He has always been pretty quiet and reserved. We gave him the book of mormon and he prayed and asked God if it was true. It is strange, he has recieved his answer in a way that is different then many of the investigators that I have worked with. He hasn´t got his answer as a difinitive yes or no. He has got to see his answer through daily studying and watching his nature and character change. This last sunday, they had plans to travel down south to see there family, but instead of leaving early in the morning, they changed there plans so that they could be here in the sacrament meeting. 

I feel that this has a lesson that all of us can learn. Many times we forget that the power of the gospel is written clearly in the Book of Mormon. It brings conversion with the continued reading of it every day in our lives. It isn´t a night to day change that is brought to pass, but an everyday process of putting on our daily spirtual armor or adding a ring in our spiritual ladder. 

I love you all and am so blessed to have such an incredible support system of friends and family. Thanks to all of you who write to me by email and written letters through the mail, they mean a lot. I have recieved a ton of support from the ward in Dammeron Valley and would like to thank all of you! Have a great week!
