Asombroso- Week 33

So last week was General Conference and this week was Stake Conference! It was awesome. And on the Sunday session there was somebody who was even translating into Spanish do I got to listen to them and I loved it:) The Gift of Tongues is real and the gifts of the spirit are real! It's incredible what the Lord will do for you to farther His work! 

This week I went on another exchange! I was in Stoughton which was great. We had District Council on Wednesday which was awesome! Then we headed up to Stoughton which is about 40 minutes away from Janesville. I love seeing how other missionaries work and try to take the things I learn from them and apply it to myself in my missionary work!

We met a guy and his wife named Nahum and Rosa and they are the sweetest! We met them in Hermana De La Rosa's Salon and they invited us over to their house because they love the missionaries! So we went over there and we got there a littler early so we were gonna go knock on a couple doors before we went there but he had cameras at his house so he saw us and saw that we were going to someone else's house and he waved to us and said 'hola!!!!! Estamos aquí! Pasen!' and he was just so excited to have us there! We had a super good and long conversation and then they invited us over for a home made Mexican dinner on Tuesday! So we are super excited to eat with them and start sharing with them the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Also this last week I actually hit my 6 month mark in Wisconsin which is awesome! It doesn't feel like I got out that long ago and like I'm still a brand new missionary, but I guess time flies when you're working hard! 

I hope that all of your weeks are going awesome and that you all have awesome next weeks as well! I sure am grateful for all of your examples to me! 

Una cosa que me gustó de la conferencia de estaca fue estas pensamientos:

"Un vez en mi vida Dios me dijo 'gracias por tratar' cuando no me sentí que Dios me amó. Recibimos bendiciones cuando intentamos a seguir los mandamientos de nuestro Padre Celestial. No podemos ser perfectos pero podemos ser perfectos en usando la Expiación de Jesucristo y nos arrepentirnos."

Y me gustó este por qué no hay una vez en nuestras vidas que somos perfectos. Pero Dios nos dio Jesucristo a sufrir para nosotros. Y por qué tenemos este don, necesitamos a usar la Expiación de Jesucristo y nos arrepentirnos cada día y intentando en llegando a ser mejor.

Thank you all for your examples and prayers for me! I look up to you all and pray for you. 

DO GOOD, BE GOOD

Love,
