Hola Mis Amigos!

          Wow this week was absolutely crazy! I absolutely love my new companion Hermana Haskell from Tooele Utah.  She is so much fun, and we have already found so many things that we have in common.  I was terrified to say the least that I would be all on my own this week, but I have literally seen miracles. Not just with myself, but with some of our investigators as well. As far as the Language goes the Lord without a doubt has been working through me the last few days.  I have been able to speak with the fluency that I had no idea I possesed.  I know that this is only because of the help the Lord has given me through answered prayers. 

          We had a few appointments with some of our investigator that we have been working with for awhile (like 4 months).  I had been getting a little disappointed with them lately, but this week we expressed the urgency they should feel for baptism. Both of them had had previous date for baptism that fell through because they didn´t feel ready. Anyway, after conference they both expressed their understanding and desire to be baptized. We have one scheduled for the following Saturday, and the other for the week after that. Truly the work of the Lord is amazing, and I am awed every day as we see the hand of the Lord in all of our lives.

          I absolutely loved conference, and am always a little sad when it is over.  I feel as though I have finished a good book.  Unfortunately with conference I can go back and read the last few chapters at least 10 more times. :) There were so many wonderful messages, but one that I particularly enjoyed was to, ¨Always look up.¨ We will always have trials and decisions that we need to be making in our lives.  Lets never forget to keep the Lord involved in every aspect of our lives.  I love you all so much.  I miss you, but whenever I am having the hard days I will just remember to, Älways look up.¨ I hope you have a wonderful week, and figure out how you can apply the sweet messages of conference into your lives.

                         Ciao,
