Mis Cariños

Here we are again! I really can't believe how fast the weeks go.

Tomorrow is September! Crazy. You sound like you all are doing great.

Always a highlight to hear from you :) This week was great. The big

news is we are having our Zone Conference with all of the missionaries

on the islands. So fun! Having the Packs here is the best they are the

greatest. We had a great week this week I am excited to tell you all

about it.

First off- Susi got permission to be baptized the 20th!!! :) :) You'd

think i'd learn not to worry about things and just trust The Lord by

this point. She is so excited it is the cutest thing. I think 3 times

this week she came up to me and asked me what are all the things she

needs to do to get baptized. I keep telling her that all we need to do

is wait for the 20th! She really is so prepared. Her daughters still

need to wait until they are 18, but her example is going to help so

much. I am so excited for her to be a member she is going to help the

church here in the Canary Islands tremendously.

Not much of an update with Lilian and Vanessa. They both are still

incredible and I love them dearly! Just playing the waiting game. They

are doing their part in the process though, so I can't complain.

Speaking of Lilian, she is the nicest. She did the nicest/most

embarrassing thing this week. She bought me anti-frizz shampoo 

I guess it's time to use my straightner again.

Okay, Danny. This man is gold!!! We were going to teaching lesson

three this week, but then he wanted to know about the commandments we

had in our church. Normally we teach them one at a time so it's  not

too overwhelming and we decided to start with Word of Wisdom. He

accepted everything and said what next? So we taught the Law of

Chastity. He accepted everything and said what next? We taught tithing

and fast offerings and accepted everything. He came to church for the

first time yesterday and loved it. He's great I'm so excited!

We had a great experience with Marina this week as well. Between work

and a vacation to the south, she didn't have time to meet with us this

week. She didn't get home until 3 in the morning Saturday night and we

were almost positive she wouldn't come to church yesterday seeing as

the last time we saw her was last week at church. But guess who showed

up all on her own! Marina :) Greatest miracle! I think the biggest

reason was from the member that was her friend last week. It makes the

biggest difference! If the missionaries bring an investigator to

church, go sit by them! The missionaries will love you and more

importantly, the investigator will too.

I think that is about it for this week. I love this gospel! I really

am so grateful to be a member of the Church. And especially grateful

to be a missionary! The greatest blessing. Thank you for the love and

support. Have a great week!!
