Conference was the best!!!

I learned sooooo many things from conference. IT WAS THE BESTTT. First of all, it was my first time watching it in Spanish...and that was diffrent. I understood everything, but I miss hearing the voices of the people that are actually speaking! Some of the speakers actually did their own translations. Like Elder Christofferson, he knows spanish so I assume beforehand he recorded his talk. So it was actually him speaking, but still. But IT WAS SO GREAATT. I think the thing I learned the most from this confrence is that we are so blessed to have a living prophet. Every time that any one of the speakers talked about President Monson, I was brought to tears. I don't know what was with me. I know that President Monson is a prophet! I loved Ronald A. Rasband's talk. He spoke about the spirit and how "the spirit" is a language. So really, right now...I'm learning two different languages: Spanish and The Spirit. jaja 

This past week was pretty good. Alejandro and Justin are very ready for their baptism on Saturday! I'm so excited! We went and taught Alejandro's sister, Jenny, and when we asked her to say the last prayer, she told us that Alejandro had been teaching her how to say a prayer. You could say that I'm proud. The two of them are reading in their Books of Mormon and they are asking questions when they don't understand something. Justin this past week asked us why Nephi killed someone if he was supposed to be a good guy. We explained and shared the scripture

in Nephi. Fraili won't be getting baptized with them, though. I think he was just telling us he wanted to be baptized because his friends were getting baptized. We went to go teach him the Word of Wisdom and Law of Chastity (remember he's only 15 years old) and he told us that we're crazy and that he doesn't want to change his life. So he's not getting baptized this Saturday, but we're not going to give up on him! Once he starts reading the Book of Mormon and gains a testimony of the book, he'll want to change. 

A long story short...we were talking to this woman that we had taught her daughters once, her name is Aracelis. She was telling us that one of her classmates had given her a Book of Mormon a LONG time ago and she was asking us a lot of questions. When we started explaining eternal marriages and that families can be sealed forever she was VERY attentive. She started to tear up. We're going to work with her, the only thing is she's Catholic and likes the traditions of Catholics, so yeah... But she has a lot of potential!

Franchesca's mom didn't give her permisson to get baptized. It's really disheartening everytime we get passed one person saying no, just to arrive at another person saying she can't get baptized. We were talking to the President of the Rama and he told us that satan is working really hard becasue Franchesca is going to be something great in the church someday. A leader, she'll guide her family to the right and everything. SO we just have to work even harder than Satan is working. And the Lord is on our side. If he's on our side, why should we fear? Our goal is for her to be baptized this Saturday, so we have a lot of work to do!

I love you all! Have the best week everrrr!
