ONE MONTH ALREADY!!

HOLA EVERYONE!!!

I can't believe it's been one month already!! Time flies when your having fun:)  This past week has been super busy and a lot has happened! So my companion and I have started our Skype lessons and we Skyped a member who lives in San Antonio Texas!! Cool fact about that is we became friends on Facebook before I came on my mission because she found out that I was heading there.  Also she knows one of my soccer friends (Bailey Jones).  Her niece grew up with Bailey so she immediately knew who I was and got super excited!  I'm learning so much stuff and Spanish is going well.  I'm starting to forget how to say things in English sometimes and it's super weird because I never thought that could happen (ha ha).  So I want to share an amazing experience that happened on Thursday this past week that I will never forget!  My companion and I were teaching our real investigator here and we had such a good spiritual lesson, and we talked so much, and shared many experiences that we've had in our lives, and by the end of the lesson we invited him to be baptized and he said YES!!  I can't even begin to describe how happy and awesome that lesson went, and it wasn't what we had planned to teach him but the spirit took over and I love when that happens!  Sadly my companion and I won't be here when he gets baptized but I can't wait for him to get to do that!! I have seen him grow spiritually every time we talk/teach him.  I have realized that I am the tool in teaching lessons.  The spirit is the teacher and as much as we can teach him things he has to feel that spirit and do the things we challenge him to do in order for him to know for himself  the truth of what we are teaching him, and I have seen that happen.  I've seen him really search and find those answers to the questions that he has.  I can't even begin to tell you all how much my testimony has grown over the past couple weeks.  Just being at the MTC I've learned so many things.  I've learned that I don't know everything about this gospel but as I study Preach My Gospel and my Scriptures I grow to learn more about Jesus Christ's Church and I have grown to become closer to my Savior.  I know that Joseph Smith Restored this Gospel on the earth today! Its so important for us to be obedient and to follow the commandments and Christ's example.   I love being a missionary and I can't wait to be in TEXAS in two weeks!  I love you all and love your emails and letters!  I love this gospel and can't deny it! En el nobre de jesucristo amen!

LOVE
