Dear Family and
Friends,

What a great General
Conference weekend we had! We were blessed to hear from the Lords
apostles and prophet. The themes that stood out to me were those of Faith
and listening to the Holy Ghost. We can accomplish so much by our Faith
in our Savior Jesus Christ. Faith truly is a principle of power and the
Holy Ghost plays such an important role in each of our lives and is such a
special gift as we remain worthy of it. And of course I think one of the
favorite talks of every missionary was one of a seventy when he invited all
investigators to be baptized as it will change their lives forever. So
powerful! I was blessed to watch the conference in English with other
missionaries so that was really nice! We are so blessed to be able to
hear the actual voices of the apostles and prophets, something I always took
for granted! But I hope you all enjoyed General Conference and had the
opportunity to watch or read all the talks. I hope you all took some
things and will apply them to your life so that we can all progress and become
better people through our Savior Jesus Christ.
One thing this week
was as we passed by members I love asking them how they came to know the church
and eventually become a member. I love hearing their sweet stories of
opposition and pure joy as well as they come unto Christ and find the truth in
the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, truly the Church of our Savior
Jesus Christ.

This week when we had our
district meeting I saw the Branch President from Yamasa. President
Ramirez and he updated me a bit on Franchesca, one of my sweet investigators
there! They have been working with her family to receive permission for
her to be baptized and have been making some progress. I called my old
companion who still is in Yamasa and she said that they made progress in one
direction, but now another member of the family doesn’t want to give
permission. I love her so much and I know that she will be baptized in
the time that the Lord wants her to be. She is so special to me and I
know the Lord is watching over her. She is so strong and such a great
example. But it was a great highlight of my week to hear about the
progress that is happening with her!
Something funny this
week was in between the sessions of conference on Sunday we were
eating with a member and she asked if I had tried pata de pollo before.
Well those of you who know Spanish know that this is chicken feet. People
love it here, not all but many. Well I tried chicken feet! I wouldn’t
say that I would never eat it again, but also I would never say that I would
crave chicken feet. It doesn’t have any meet really so I am not sure what
I was eating, but I am living and it was a fun experience!
We have found more
people to teach this week and are trying to work with more youth so it should
be a good busy week!
Hopefully there will
be more to report next week!
Have a wonderful first
week of April!
Love,
Hermana Steed
