Hey fam,
I can´t believe that another conference session has come and gone. Its so
crazy to think that the last conference session was my first week here and now
another six months has passed. The time goes by so so so quickly.
Well first off, i love conference as usual! We got to attend all of the
sessions in the stake center. But unlike the last conference, this time i was
watching in español. I understood all of it, but it wasnt the same because
normally there are always those certain phrases that i love to write down, but
it was a little harder in spanish, but better than anything i was really able to
listen to the spirit and what i needed to hear. My favorite session was the
Sunday Morning session, i dont know if i really had a favorite talk but i
learned a lot about the atonement and i felt the spirit very strongly. In the
morning with my companion when we were walking around in the streets we were
both just thinking "the people just dont understand that a prophet is going to
talk to us today!" to be honest its kind of frustrating to think that the people
dont realize how blessed we are to have a prophet and the apostles to guide us
in these days. We had several investigators in the conferences...some of them
were old investigators who werent really progressing...but maybe something in
conference will have touched their hearts.
One of our investigators who went, Sonya, really enjoyed the conference. I
dont know if i talked about her in my last letter but i feel major deja vu in
her house. We have developed a great relationship with her. she says everytime
she prays to know what church is true she thinks in the first vision so we told
her that that is her answer. But anyways she received the missionaries like 10
years ago and she asisted the church for like 1 year. But then she stopped
going because she had some problems with commandments and such. But anyways she
went to the conference and we told her if she could come back for the second
session that she should, but she just told us she didnt know if she could but
she would see....so then in the afternoon on sunday...she came back AND she
brought her sister! haha it was so great. She said...wow the people outside are
so confused, they think that you mormons only believe in joseph smith..but
really you guys believe in Christ and all of this is about Christ. Its great to
have people actually understand. Anyways im excited to work with her
more.
We have some other investigators too that im excited to work with but we
will see. I dont have a ton of time to give a lot of details but ill keep you
updated. We have one investigator who i taught my first weeks in the area but
she was very positive, and now she is super interested...but she got sick this
weekend so she couldnt go to the conference. But her boyfriend is a missionary
and she was thinking about changing religions and she wants learn a lot more.
And we have some youth that we arent teaching but we have been waiting for
permission for their parents for like 6 months now and they might be baptized in
abril but we will see.
Anyways its been a good week. We´ve been chased by dogs a few times..haha.
i have a belief that satan has power over dogs...i bet that the positive people
are always the people who have dogs in front of their houses that we have to
skip haha...We also worked with the Fam Gonzalez this wee as the family
missionary. They were great. Their oldest daughter is almost 18 and she wants
to serve a mission and her mom is nervous to have her go but really excited too.
THey are a great family. This week we are going to work with the Familia
Orellana. They are one of my favorite families here in the ward so im excited
for that.
Things are good. Thank you so much for your prayers. You all are always
in my prayers too. Im so grateful for this experience and the opportunity to be
a missionary. It is so incredible the experiences i have to defend the truth
and share the gospel with the people here.
Until next week...ill try to send pics next week because today in the
morning we went on a hike to la laguna verde en apaneca. And IM SUNBURNT
haha
Con todo mi amor,
Hermana Groneman
