Week #48

My Dear Family!

I hope this email finds everyone in good spirits (probably not considering its a Monday haha), but I hope the week went well and all are ready for another week more!

Well let me start this letter by saying it was a good week! On Wednesday we had the interview with Hermana L and she will need a little more time! She expressed to the interviewer (Presidente M) that she wants to be baptized and receive these blessings! She is super humble and excited to continue on with her life. So we set another date and goal for November 1st!  They are super excited and we will continue to help them out and really prepare them. I wasnt bummed out about the interview! I am glad that she can prepare even more so that she can be a firm believer in the Atonement of Jesus Christ and in his church and gospel!

The week really heated up! And I guessed it right, we started rocking he sombreros again! My companion looks like a goofball/rice farmer haha but at least he isnt cooking! I will send pictures next week. But it was a good trial of our diligence and I feel that we overcame out natural man this week and worked hard!  

On Thursday we decided to go exploring a part of our area that I hadn't been to yet, and we found a sister that had recently returned from the hospital and she begged us to come in and to ¨pray for her¨ because her leg is really swollen up and can't really walk so we came and taught about the Priesthood Authority and blessings, and we gave her a blessing that she would continue to recuperate and have the faith to walk. After that she asked us if we could go ¨pray¨ for one of her neighbors that the son got bit by this dog and went to the hospital to get it stitched up! 

So we went over there and the Mom let us come in and we taught them and explained to them why we came and the Mom was more than willing to let us ¨pray¨ for her son. We could give him a blessing and we told him that he would heal quickly and healthily. At the end of the blessing the Mom was crying and she thanked us and asked us to come by again next week! So it was super good! All because I had a desire to explore an Area that I haven't been in.

This week we watched conference and let me say this was the most spiritual conference that I have ever watched! Maybe it was becuase I wasnt in pajamas, or I stayed awake! But It was so amazing to put myself in the shoes of the L family and watch the Prophet as if it were my first time. I guess I have taken it granted all my life...but they loved the conference! Especially Sister L. It is hard for me to pick a favorite talk...but when Elder Hugo Martinez came on I thought he was speaking English! Because the translator wasn't translating, so I was like what is going on! Then I realized like everyone else that he gave his talk in Spanish! It was super good! It was an amazing conference!

So this week was good! And as always I was super blessed! I am proud to be out here and to have this chance to serve. Thank you for keeping me in your prayers! I love you guys so much and pray for you all the time! I will write more next week!

Love Always,
Elder Milton
